hcitor's opinion had been forced upon
him. When he made his original motion
he had been sat down upon. This
aroused his manhood and he concluded to
fight the matter to the bitter end. He
hated to be sat down upon. But now it
was a matter of conscience with him and
a duty he owed to his constituents.
Mr. Chambers replied that he was on

roll question was being considered He,
Quinn and McGonigal took City Solicitor
Turner out of the back door and ques-
toned him. He said, go ahead with

overdrawn members were his best
friends, and be disliked to force the mat

the resolution be amended so as to read
After the 9th day OF April
Mr.. Mccall said that the members bad
already been granted ample time. He
was opposed to the granting Of more time
unless the delinquents would promise to
pay. He stated that one Of the over
drawn councilmen had told him that he
defied them to collect the sum from him.
They might get judgment, but that
was all they would get.
Mr. Lawson doubted II the money
could be collected.
Mr. Mccall moved to further amend
by inserting the tenth day of April,
The resolution as amended was
adopted.
Mr. Lawson inquired AZ to what had
been done with the resolution offered by
Mr.. Roberts and adopted several months
ago requiring entering Of the bonds Of

caused all the drowsy members to prick
up their ears by firing of the following
lsbombshell resolution:
Resolved, That the city solicitor be
Iiand he is hereby directed to take legal
proceedings without any further delay to
collect all sums paid to members and ex-
members in excess OF the amount due
them respectively.
Mr.. Roberts was the first to speak on
| the resolution. He said that so aggressive
a move requires great deliberation and
1 thought. He, for one, had great hest
i fancy in voting for resolution to prose
cute a colleague. II was q very serious
Il matter to invoke the machinery of the
law to collect so trivial a sum from 3
councilman. No doubt the debt could
be collected in this way, but he
would prefer that the gentlemen
pay it voluntarily. He was placed in an
embarrassing position. He hated to vote
for the resolution, yet there were certain
members who had money in their pockets
which belonged to the city, and IL was
such disgrace that his conscience would
not permit him to do otherwise than
support Mr.. Mccall. The delinquent
Il councilmen had forced the matter on the
members In fact, had they invited such
step.
Mr. She's moved that further cOnsidera-
tion of the matter be postponed for one
Il week.
Mr. Cham hers said that IL vas in bad
taste for the gentleman who had Just
spoken (Mr. Roberts), to appear in the
role of the Good Samaritan. He was the
