liver IL 10 the proper grantco nameu
therein. But, in the meantime, l
shall, have to decline to comply with

mand to deliver the same, "signed or

munication be spread on the min
utes.

communication be deposited in the
waste basket.
| Mr.. Lowell moved that action be
deferred for one week.
| DIR. Sinsabaugh hoped the Council
would not act rashly. The Mayor
had right to demand time.
Mr.. Collins stated he would insist
upon Captain Barrett's motion. He
objected to having the Mayors slush
spread upon the minutes when the
Finance Committee made . report
rejecting on the Mayor.
,Captain Barrett thought it the
Councilmen did not have dignity
enough to resent such a communica-
ton they should take up their hats
and 60 home. Itwas about time that
it should be understood that the Coun-
Gil had some dignity at least.
| City Attorney Daily stated that he
would say very little, as the Mayor
was not present, but he wished it un-
derstood that the City Attorney was
always ready to deliver opinions when
asked for them. His opinion had been
given relative to securing viaduct on
First street, and not as to whether the
city could legally convey the land. He
considered it unfair of The Mayor to
make such insinuations and charges.
Capt. Barrett renewed his motion,
modifying it by laying it on the table.
Motion lost.

an officer of the city, that the COM

utes.
