| Aid Derig supported the mayor in
the judge he said ''of the best men
| for the committees
| The mayor rose to his feet. He was
apparently disturbed, but firm.
This is delicate question for me
| to discuss" he said. Il wish to refer
to it merely as point of parliament
airy law" and he read the section
which sustained his position.
But Aid. Cross would not down
gracefully He read the charter and
moved the appeal of standing rule No.
I. AID. Dundon seconded the motion.
The motion required It two thirds
vote to pass it.
AID. Smith made plea for harmony

too. wanted lots of harmony but
hadn't got much He then with
drew the motion with d statement that
the matter could be considered when
the time came to adopt new rules.
No more committees We're ap-
pointed.
Aid Cross explained the nature,
necessity and theory OF an official
paper, and introduced motion max
ing the Telegram the official city
paper, accompanying it by an ord-
nance which gave to that paper the
city printing at 30 cents folio for the
first insertion and 20 cents for each
subsequent insertion. Last spring
We made Il deal with two papers and
paid full legal rates. This was to
help the newspapers. 1t was burden
on the city. We can pay one fair
rate and cut the printing bills one
half"
Aid. Beglnger wanted competition
and favored asking for bids.
ALI. Bailey seconded AID. Cross

political principles of the junior alder

surprised and pleased 10 see the gentle
man who came into this council Il year
ago and argued for 60 cents ROW favor
50 cents. | favor sealed bids, and he
moved that the daily papers of the
cltv be requested to submit sealed bids
at the next regular meeting.
THE newspapers have got through
working for nothing" said Aid Cross
1T is my belief that if we ask for
sealed bids they will all get a slice, !"
he added.
Il can't see why AID. Cross Is 50
solicitous for the Telegram" remark
ed AID. Atkinson. Il think the other
papers should have a chance. We are
not bound to accept bids
I'VE don't know whether the Tele-
gram Will accept these rates. said
Aid Wiltse
