PONTHAN PROMOTED.
The Caucus Choice for Comp
trollep Chosen by an
Easy Majority.
Aid. Cullen Chosen Presi-
dent Of the Joint AS
Sembly.
An Amusing Parliamentary
Tilt Over Rules to
Govern.
Aldermen and Assembly Sew
orally Transact Routine

y. y. Cullen was elected president OF
| the common council.
Swan A. Ponthan was elected city
! comptroller.
Joint rules were adopted for govern
| ing the body.
The common council, in joint session
assembled, after good-natured conten-
ton, accomplished the results indicated.
The session was called to order by City
| Clerk Prendergast, who briefly stated
the object of the gathering. Aid. Gehan
at once moved that the body proceed to
elect a president for the fiscal year,
whereupon Assemblyman Oppenheim
raised the point of order that the first
| thing that must be done was to chose a
| temporary chairman. All agreed that
this was eminently proper, and Presi-
| dent Murray, of the assembly, moved
| that the body proceed to elect temper
ary chairman, whereupon Aid. Dubner
| nominated Aid. Cullen as an amend
ment to the motion. The question was
put by the clerk and declared carried.
President Cullen gracefully accepted
the honor. and. i'll assuming the gavel,
extended his thanks and expressed his
hearty appreciation.
Aid. Gehan at once entered into the
spirit Of the meeting by renewing his
motion to elect president. Assembly
man McCafferty moved to amend by
first adopting the joint code of rules.
Aid. Gehan antagoniZed the move
ment to superSede the election by any
other business, and Aid. Dobner saw a
scheme to thwart the legitimate aims
of the committee on rules in precipitate
action.
Aid. Gehan fancied that Aid. Dobner
was inadvertently acting against his
own ends, and ASemblyman McCafferty
Insisted upon his motion, supplement-
ing his claim with the explanation that
1t was his object simply to consider the
rules. The body could then act or post
pone as it saw fit
At this juncture Aid Sanborn took
the floor to raise parliamentary point
He asserted that nothing could be done
until an organization had been per-
fected. The motion to elect a president,
he said, cannot be amended by motion
to consider any rules, nor anything else,
for that matter.
Aid. Dobner-I would like to ask what
the call was for. What are we here
for? l am laboring under the impress
sion that we are here to adopt a set of
joint rules.
The clerk read the call, and the chair
declared the point raised by Aid. San
born we'll taken.
ut seems to me that it would be ir-
REGULAR" said Aid. Bott, for any
deliberative body to attempt to transact
business before an organization was
had"
AsSemblyman Murray then moved
that the clerk cast the ballot of the
council for Aid. Cullen for president,
but Aid. Cullen pleasantly demurred.
He said it would afford him great pleas
ure to vote for Mr.. Murray for the posi-
ton, and he preferred not to take the
place himself. However, Mr.. Murray's
motion prevailed, and then ensued an
interesting struggle as to the manner of

A right merry time was had over Aid.
Gehan's motion to appoint fifth dog
catcher, who shall be provided with a
horse and wagon. Aid. Sanborn looked
upon the project with grave suspicion.
He didn't believe that additional help
was needed, but the motion prevailed.
The charter provides for three MEM
berS from the council-One from the as
Sembly and two from the board of alder
men-on the joint court house commits
Sion. Previous to the Inauguration of
the new order of things these members
were Aid. C0nley, Van Slyke and Minea.
The latter two are now asSemblymen,
and President Cullen appointed Aid.
Gehan to fill the boards quota.
The contract with the gas company,
together with the required bonds in the
