lowing resolution.

Councilman Pickard didn't think that
the resolution, as II was worded, ought to |
pass. ii was not alone the price OF adyer- |

circulation Of the paper as well.
Councilman Pembroke then called upon
Recorder Jack to state the present method
ofadvertising. Mr.. Jack made long and
somewhat rambling statement, the object
OF which appeared to be 10 avoid stating
the method candidly and fully.
The resolution was defeated and Conn
Gilman Pembroke then arose and said that
he certainly could not be accused of being
sctuated by consideration for the papers
which his resolution might benefit. His
only object IN introducing the resolution
was TO see that the city's money was
properly and economically expended.
AT this point Councilman LYNN was
heard TO murmur: "He is out of order
There Is no motion before the house,
Mayor Scott-Hes, you are out OF order
Mr.. Pembroke.
Councilman Pembroke-Then l desire to
