City Council held one of the shortest
sessions in its history last evening. II
did all its work In fifteen minutes. The
principal business was the report Of the
Law Committee on the bill Of the Star
Printing Company. which has been be-
fore the city fathers several times and
which has excited warm discussion.
The Star had printed the list Of delin-
quents at the direction of Mr. Cnrren,
chairman OF the Printing Committee, and
the bin was $57 40 When brought up
for payment certain members said that
the Star had not heen authorized by a
majority of the committee. City Solicitor
Lyman decided that as the law limited
the number of papers In which the list
should be published TO two daily papers,
and rs it had already been published in
two daily papers, whereas the Star was a
Sunday paper, the bill was Illegal The
whole matter was then referred to the
Law Committee.
Chairman Magee reported last night
that although the bill was illegal, yet
the work had been ordered by the Print
ing Committee, it had been done in good
faith, and therefore the Law Committee
favored the payment of the bill. The
report was adopted without discussion
and without dissent.
