On the Proposed Pool Selling Ordi.
nance-The City Employees to be Paid
Weekly-A Petition Received for the
Extension ofthe Fire District OF the |
City-Other Business.
The proposed ordinance against pool |
selling was the bone of contention ct the |
meeting of the board of councilmen last
evening, and was in fact the only business
transacted. The session was one of the
shortest on record, only lasting about
forty-ive minutes. Shortly after the
meeting convened Councilman Cleveland
of the Tenth ward moved that, in view of
the fact that the board of aldermen had
taken dissgreeing action on the pool room
ordinance or rather had refused to re-
consider its former vote, a committee of
conference be appointed, and this cotton
was taken without q dissgreeing vote.
subsequently President MeWilliams ap-
pointed as the committee of conference,
Councilmen cleveland, Calm and Green.
As soon as the committee had been sp-
| pointed Councilman cleveland arose and
stated that in all committees of such
nature appointed it was always the GUS
tom to appoint only such members of the
body as were favorable to the proposed
action, and in consequence he objected to
the appointment of Councilman Green,
who, at the last meeting, voted against the
passage of the proposed ordinance, as a
| member of the committee. President Nc
| williams decided the point we'll taken and
l substituted the name of Councilman Fitz-
gerald for that of Green.
