 In commenting upon this opinion, Com missioner Atwater said he did not see as it affected his position.
 Commissioners States and Leigh thought it condemned the position of all three commissioners concerned.
 Commissioner Atwater declared he owned stock in the electric light company and thought if it affected him in one com pany it did in the other. He thought it did in neither.
 Commissioner Leigh remarked that his advice to any commissioner who was so involved was to keep out of city boards.
 Major Todd inserted his habitual motion to proceed to an election of assistant su- perintendent of streets. Commissioner States called him out of order and Mayor Peck ruled him so. Major Todd appealed from the decision of the mayor and called for yea and nay vote. Mayor Peck was sustained, Commissioners Reilly, Whitney, States and Leigh voting to sustain him. and Commissioners Atwater and Todd voting against it.
