MI bdDle Sdlu u was wrong 70 cflblelhe
acts Of Council without authority.
Mr.. Lamb thought "they' had a right to
criticize but not to deliberately lie, or Diiseos-
siruc
Mr.. Coakley, one Of the signers Of tho
resolution, then delivered himself Of this.
SO far as the meetings are concerned, since
the last trouble, he presumably Watkins) has
reported pretty correct"
Mr.. Lamb said at doesn't make any
difference whether here, or elsewhere, il
they misrepresent the facts we have reason
to exclude them from here"
Finally the motion to adopt the resolution
was carried.
Mr.. Coakley did not think that Mr.
Watkins should be made a martyr in the
matter. He did not believe, he said, that
Mr.. Watkins was responsible for all that had
been said in the paper about Council and he
would like Mr.. Watkins to say whether or
not ne was 30 responsible.
Mr. Watkins did not answer
Mr.. Coakley was desrous of having an
answer.
Temporary Chairman Lamb said Mr.
Watkins could answer if he saw fit.
Mr.. Watkins said that he would treat
the interrogation as he would any request for
the name Of correspondent to the paper no
represented.
Mr. Watkins then asked for copy Of the
resolution containing the charges.
Mr. Lamb said the granting of the request
rested with Council.
A motion to grant it was lost, Messrs.
Scheiny and Holman, who voted against the
adoption of the resolution, voting in the af-
frmative.
Mr.. scheiay asked that certain part Of
the adopted resolution be re-read.
T. R. Beddall, Esq, who occupied seat in
the rear end of the chamber, asked, as a
citizen, that the whole resolution be read.
Mr.. Lamb proceeded to read as follows

for the last year, or more mlsrepresented the
work done by the Borough Council of shenan-
doah and, through its reporter, intentionally
failed to correctly report its proceedings and,
Whereas we believe"--
Just here Mr.. Gable jumped to his feet 81
rise to a point of order. thought you we're
not going to give the reporter copy of that
resolution" he said, addressing Temporary
Chairman Lamb.
"I am not"
@ But" exclaimed Mr.. Gable, pointing to
the reporter, don't you see he is taking it
down (shorthand) as fast as you are reading
it,"
Mr.. Lamb tried to say something like
"Well, if he can take it, let him have it,"
but wink or something must have changed
his mind, for he skipped down to a part of
the resolution that was so well adapted to the
taste of the ruling members that the reporter
concluded not to report it in the absence Of
the document as a whole
Mr.. Holman took occasion to remark that
it was the criticisms of the acts of the Coun-
cilmen, and not the reports of the proceed
ings that were nipping, and criticisms he
thought, even though he had been included
in them were excusable on the grounds that
the opinions of all people are not alike.
T. r. Beddal Esq, asked, "And has this
Council adopted such resoluton?"
A voice; ut has,
"well, wouldn't be guilty of such
thing"
Mr.. Coakley again stated that so far as the
meetings were concerned the proceedings had
been reported pretty we'll
Mr.. scheihy said that he, as one of the mem-
bers of Council was not ashamed to have any
thing he did or said in Council go before the
public.
MT. Lamb declared the meeting adjourned.
