Mr.. Mention asked that the ordinance
providing for loan of $50. 900 for the
Water Commissioners be taken up for q
third reading.
Mr.. Merris Taylor moved that the
consideration Of 1t be postponed one
week.
Mr.. Mention said he hoped the motion
would not prevail, and that some action
wonld be taken on the ordinance at
once. He supposed the opposition to 1t
was on account of the trouble about the
interest on loans and 8, hut he would
state for the information of Council
that the matter 10 now in the hands Of
an attorney who will submit his opinion
in writing. He had q section Of the new
charter read, providing for the loan, and
making it mandatory on Council to pass
the ordinance. Mr.. Mention then oon-
tinued and said that the commission
had contracted for machinery, q pay
mont on which 10 overdue, and that
unless something was done the city
would have 10 pay the interest on this
use the money on hand, unless they
had q positive assurance that Council
would pass the ordinance.
Mr.. Merris Taylor, In reply, said that
the commissioners have every as
surance that Council would pass the
ordinance, and also knew that they
are obliged by law to pass Il, and
he did not think IL would be opposed
by any member ~ the proper time.
The commission justly owes the city
81, 400, and no for one would not vote
for the ordinance until some settle
ment was made. He did not think. II
would hurt to let the ordinance lay
over another week, rs there WAS Nc
hurry about the matter. A few weeks
since he offered resolution providing
for the appointment of an attorney tO
be chosen by Council and the commits
sion, bnt instead OF that the commits
sion had employed an attorney them
selves.
Mr.. Mention again urged that action
be taken on the ordinance without
farther delay, but upon o vote being
taken, Mr.. Taylor'a motion to postpone
was carried by IL ayes to 10 nays.
