Farra called Council to order, all the
members came IN soon afterwards except
Mr., Davis, who was not present all even
ing.
The Law Committee, through Chair
man Forrest, reported back the ordinance
to amend the Fourth Of July ordinance,
prohibiting the firing of cannons, guns,
pistols, crackers, squibs, and all other
explosives as containing not being con-
trary to law and the city charter. The
report was accepted
The law committee also offered vol
umlious report from the G street rider
bill, which was laid over until farther In
the proceedings.
Mr.. Quinn, from the committee OH the
police patrol wagon and horse, reported
that the committee bad purchased
horse from Jester ~ Mcdaniel, 16i5
hands high, for $3.50. Mr.. Quinn then
made motion that the report be adopted,
that an order be drawn to pay for the
horse and that the amount be credited
10 the Incidental appropriations.
Mr.. Chambers thought that to draw an
order now would be in conflict with the
charter as provisions were made In next
years appropriations Tor paying for the
| horse, aud therefore he was doubtful If
the money could be taken from this
years appropriations.
MIR. Quinn imitted that there might
appear technical grounds for objections,
but the money was on hand and 1t might
as will be paid and II need be pay 1t back
from the next years appropriation. The
committee had gone to considerable trou-
bic to hunt up suitable horse; had
found one that just suited and had agreed
to pay 80 cents day for its board until
the city needed 1t.
Mr.. McMenamin agreed with Mr..
Chambers and thought that those wLo
sod the horse could easily walt s. me ten
da, 8 longer.
Mr.. McKenney also agreed with Mr..
McMenainin aud thought the money
could not he taken from this years ap
preparation.
MIR. Roberts said the committee had
done the best they could in purchasing a
horse, and If council refused now to en-
dorse the action Of the committee It would
be looked upon as censure of the COM
mlttee. He gave as reason for pur-
chatiUg the horse before the first OF July,
the fact that the harness maker had TO
know the size of the horse before he
could make the harness. Jester II Nc
Daniel had made the sale Ia good faith
Tor cash, and they needed their money,
without it,.
Nj. McGonigal thought that the COM
miuee had clearly over-stepped the
bounds Of Its duty in promising to pay
ior the horse before the first of July
He would favor scceptinh the report, but
not to draw an order to pay for the horse
before the ilrst OF July.
The debate was carried on for n long
time between Messrs. Roberts and Quinn
in favor Of paying for the horse now, and
by Messrs. BOwe', Hawkins, McMenamin,
McKcnney, White and McBride in oppo.
sition to IL.
Mr. White moved to postpone sction
on the report until after July lst, but til S
motion was defeated, only Messrs. Diilin,
Shea and White voting for II.
MIR. Quinn then withdrew his motion to
draw an order to pay for the horse, when
the other part of the report was unani.
