# an architect, which was submitted at the

county with view to obtaining new plans,
and that the matter be left open for COM
petition.
Councilman Spafford-I move that we re-
ject Apponyi's plans altogether.
Councilman Hall do not feel competent
to pass on these plans. 1t seems to me that
1t would be perfectly proper, now that we
have discharged Mr.. Apponyi, to employ a
competent architect to counsel us as to
whether Apponyi's plans are sufficient and
good or not. 1t seems to me that to reject
MIR. Apponyi's plans in this way would be
an act prompted by prejudice rather than
by reason, and such an act would be un-
worthy of this council. l think we should
employ local architect whose work here
has proved his ability.
Councilman Pembroke-Before the peo-
pie are satisfied. there must be an entire
new deal here, and that is what IS contem-
plated in my motion. If the matter cannot
be decided tonight, we had better hold
special meeting tomorrow night and set
tie it.
Councilman James i think the only
thing to be done is to have consultation
with Apponyi and either settle with aim or
have it settled in the courts.
Councilman Pembroke's motion was car
ried
BASE CALUMNT.
The cemetery bill was then called up and
Councilman Cohn arose. He referred to
the structures Of the Neps on the committee
as base calumny. The committee pro
posed that the price of lots in plats and
Q be increased to $50; in plat K. S25. in
plat c, 500, while the price of inside lots
should be increased to s35 1t was proposed
that the sexton should receive as compen-
sation on the sale of lots maximum fee OF
of 81. so on lots sold. The salary of the sex.
ton had thus far not exceeded SIPS a month.
AS to the plan of narrowing the three rod
street to get more lots, that would have to
be done by amending or by another or
dinance.
The reading of the ordinance was pro
ceeded with and the ordinance was passed
FEW SUGGESTIONS.
Councilman Hall then arose and said he
wished to make a few suggestions in regard
to the cemetery. I'm our conduct of this
cemetery, think we should take into con
sideration the probable growth of the city
and in connection with that the expendi
ture of large amount of money on Gem
etery. The time is approaching when i
will be unwise to make any more inter
f2ents in this cemetery and when it will b.
wisdom to select a resting place for tn
dead further removed from the city of TIT
living. | throw out these suggestions be
cause fear that the history of other citie
may be repeated here"

a vote, when the appropriation list came u
1 this item was again opposed. Councilm;
0 Hall said he was opposed to it because
didn't think such an expenditure nect
sary. Too much of it was for style.

+ heavy.

Councilman Pembroke here came to
defense of Mr. Anderson. He thought
criticisms made were reflection upon
It honesty and honor of Mr. Anderson, 1
ct he didn't like il. There was but one tn
oy that would make him fight and that wa:
in question his honesty and veracity. T
On would make him fight every time.
