Daily Republican., 1886-06-03

DE COR tended that under the Oircum-
stances the estimate for interest was
legal
Mr.. Mention claimed that 1t would be
petter to let 1t r-main, and then If the
PARK ordinance was not passed it could
Oe transferred to any appropriation that
Council might select.
The discussion was continued for
some time, and was participated in by
messrs' murray. Blake, Baynard, Lati-
mer and r, 81. Tay lor, when Mr.. Far
rell again took the floor, and said that
he was surprised to hear Mr.. Meuton's
proposition to allow the Approximation
to stand as the committee had fixed H.
as the idea was Ridiculous, preposterous.
and something that WAS never attem pted
before and probably never will be again,
He was sorry to see Mr.. Mention, on the
last night but one that he was to sit in
the chamber, endeavor to do something
that will take away the good reputation
which he has 80 justly earned in the
past ana now enjoys. He pronounced
this an attempt on the part OF the adyo.
Gates of the park to crowd this thing ON
the people, and he intended TO oppose it
by every means in his power, as he did
not believe the people wanted it. He
regretted very much TO see Mr.. Mention
take the position he has, because he was
his friend.
Mr.. Latimer thought that instead of
ceBBure Mr.. Mention was entitled 10
praise for DOING his duty, and advocat-
ing just what the people wanted
Mr.. Mention, in reply to Mr.. Farrell,
SAID that he thought he was a little
wild on this matter, and as far as his
own reputation was concerned he
thought he could sustain it better bv
leaving his successor with means pro-
vided for meeting the liabilities for the
coming year, than by leaving the m nm
provided for. He thought it would be
very unwise to adopt Mr.. Farrell's mo
tion, as from present indications there
was no doubt but the park ordinance
would pass.
A viva voce vote was then taken on
Mr.. Farrelps motion, and it was almost
impossible to tell which was in the
majority. The President, unthinkinelv.
decided that the ayes had carried. b1t
when his attention was called to The
matter he admitted that he had made a
mistake. Messrs. Blake and Farrell
contended that as he had given his de-
cision 1t would have to stand, when
Mr.. R. Il. Taylor cut the knot by
moving a reconsideration of the vote.
Mr.. Farrell moved TO lay the motion
on the table, and called for the ayes
and nays, when the vote resulted as
Ioilows: Ayes, Messrs. Blake, Brison,
Denney, Farrell, Hawkins, McKehna
and Murray, z; nays, Messrs. Adele,
Baugh, Barney, Barnhill, Baynard, r.
d. Taylor, Merris Taylor, Miller,
Mitchell, Moore. Latimer, Grubb,
Smith, Mention and President Farra.
10. Mr.. Newell went out before the
vote was taken.
The motion to reconsider was then
carried, and Mr.. Farrell's motion to
transfer the %, 200 was again taken up,
and the vote resulted In nays 10, ayes,7.
Mr.. Moore said that sometime ago he
had offered resolution that provision
oe made in the appropriation for the
coming year to purchase 500 iron lamp
posts, which out of respect to the FL
nance Committee he had allowed to 90
10 them. He now found that no notice
had been taken of 1t, and he ask ed Mr..
Mention for an explanation.
Mr. Mention replied that while the
had not made any special
provision for the posts, he had no doubt
but there would be money enough 10
purchase them.
Mr.. Murray moved that the 50. 200 be
aiken from the interest list and appIoprf
sted for this purpose, but the President
1eclared the motion out of order, as
Council bad already decided to let this
money be for interest.
1t was now getting close on to II o.
clock, and as the debate was again COM
nenced, with no prospect OF being
concluded before midnight, the prev ious
question was called and the call was
seconded by two mem bers.
A motion was made to adjourn, but
President Farra decided that as the
previous question had been called, it
was out of order.
The call was sustained and the ordi.
nance taken up for final passage, when
It was passed by q vote Of Is to 7 and
Council adjourned.
