In the council chamber Councilman
Fitzpatrick objected to laying it over
for one week, saying that the matter
should come up at the next regular
meeting. Councilman Downey favored
postponement for two weeks. Council
man Fitzpatrick announced that if the
majority objected to putting the matter
over for a month he would exercise his
right of objection according to the char
ter, which objection would postpone the
matter until the next regular meeting.
President Hart did not agree with Coun-
Gilman Fitzpatrick's Interpretation of
theicharter. A copy of the charter was
obtained after diiigent search and sec
ton 90 on which Councilman Fitz-
patrick based his objections was read.
The ordinance reads:
"No ordinance, bylaw or other meas
ure which has been adopted by either
body shall be put upon its passage and
finally voted on by the other body on
the same day upon which it was
adopted by the former one, except by
| unanimous consent"
Councilman Fitzpatrick insisted that
an adjournment son the same day.
the meeting adjourned for one week il
still would be the same meeting.
President Hart ruled differently. The
board concurred with the aldermen in
postponing the discussion for one week
1t was voted that the water board lay
a large main in Hayden street, and
build four inch main in Mitchell ave
nue. at an estimated expense of 5000.
The following communication wal
read from Mayor Webster and then the
ordinance was passed:

posed ordinance, annexed hereto, which

means to enable the board of water com

ordered by your board.
You are aware that there is no none,
in the treasury available for this purpos,
and unless provision is made by you il
this or some other manner no work can b,
carried on until such provision is made.
1t is expected authority will be giver
the city by the next legislature to issu,
bonds to pay some part or all of the OK
pense of this work, but whether the cit,
secures such authority or not such a sup

1t is not probable that any money cal

the authority to issue them and unless 70,
provide such means the more importan
part of the work will be delayed until tina
