city by Anton NeyMannI DC accepted
and that stable be built In the rear o
the Public Building, and the system b.
at once put into operation.
There was spirited discussion in thu
Second over the proposition to increase
the police force. AesBrs. Harrell ant
Young, on the Democratic side, SOUNDED
warning to the majority that this wa
"Reiorm" body. Mr.. Harrell asket
who was demanding the increase, out
side OF those who expected to be bene
fitted by 1t, and their friends, He init
mated that some Councilmen were il
favor OF the increase to reward some o
their strikers with positions. The argu
ments on the other side were that 1t WaI
necessary to have more police to prop
erly protect the city, When the ques
ton came TO a vote, the increase to date
from July /, there were twelve voted in
favor and nine against. President Grust
decided that the measure should bt
adopted by a two.thirds vote or majority
votes at two successive meetings and
therefore, that the matter would have tC
90 over till the next meeting.
On the patrol wagon proposition oh
lection was made that 1t would lead to
further expense. The vote in the Second
was IA to I, Just q two'thirds' vote, and
thereby allowed the matter to 60 10 the
First, where 1t was promptly knocked in
the head by n vote OF II to A, notwith'
standing the Mayors speech, and very
much TO his disgust. Captain Rawlint
called attention to the increased rate o.
insurance that would be charged on the
Public Building should q frame stable
to be filled with straw and hay, be bull
| in itsrear. 1t was stated that City ColleC
tor Myles was very much opposed TO hay
ing stable built directly undol
his office windows, which led the Mayor
TO remark that Mr.. Myles ought not tc
kick, for il there had not been Demo
cratic majority In Council, ho would not
have been Collector The Mayor told q
pathetic story OF "a lady" who got drunk
and had to be hauled to tho station on
one Of sWeeney's foundry wagons, and
then pictured how much nicer hurry.
up wagon would have been in that case.
During this recital somo OF the members
looked rs though they were about 10
have an apopletic at. Captain Rowling
thought a vote OF thanks ought to be
rendered Mr.. Reymanp, and paid u
handsome tribute to his liberallty and
public spirit. Tie idea OF tho majority
In this branch was that an arrangement
for hauling prisoners could be advan-
tageously made with some liveryman at
comparatiVely small cost.
While the matter OF an increase In the
police force was under discussion in the
Second, Mr.. Harrell made the charge
that the frequency OF recent raids on the
houses OF Ill fame in East Wheel.
ing was for the purpose OF try
ing to demonstrate that more men
were needed, aud that the houses were
raided because the fines imposed in
those cases were almost sure TO be paid,
and it was thus possible tomake ashow-
ing that the police force was nearly self
supporting; that after the increase was
made and the wagon in operation, the
showing would not be 80 good. Mr..
Harrell said that with afew more breaks
by this Council such rs the proposed
stone bridge measure and the increase
in the police, by the time the next cleo
ton rolled around II would find itself in
the mud up to It's neck.
