Tho City Council clearly have tn

which seeks 10 abridgo the powers OF the

conferred by tho Territorial legislature
and cannot be impaired by the City
Council.
Alter some unimportant discussion
Evans moved that action bo deferred
until Monday night next and that q
meeting DO held at that time TO con
slider the veto message.
Wantland opposed tho motion ant
thought II should be referred to n com
mittee OF three for examination anI
correction.
Rich said that he wanted timo /,
consider the question and was In favo
OF the motion. Every member shoul,
be provided with copy OF the vet
that they might act intelligently.
The motion was lost aud another I
postpone until Tuesday night carried
THE WATER pmE PURCHASE AoAIS
Kelly offered resolution providin
that the Mayor be associated with tn
committee on watcrworks in the ma
ter OF purchasing water pipes.
Horn said the resolution was
direct contradiction Of one offered b
Mr.. Evans on the same subject 10
evenings ago and which was adopte,
Simondi denied II aud said tho res,
luton was just the proper thing; th
Mayor, no thought should be assoc
ated.
Rich-(warmly)-I want to ask NJ

mittee. Are they dishonest, incapab
or careless, or have they betrayed ~
trust ever committed TO them? II tn,

insinuations. They are wrong US

PEELED more than any other commit
to swallow dose that nauseates NJ
sickens them? Thoc0mmittee on u
department has not been asked 10 IN
Buch medicine, neither has the COL
mittee on prisons, both OF which ha'
taken steps which will cost the al
many times the amount Of money tn
the purchase OF this pipe will reach.
Ia Just as foolish for the Council
associate the mayor with every COT
mittee as IL would be for tho Leg
lature to associate Governor TnOn
with all OF Its commilteea.
MoTan-I would like the report fro
the committee read instead OF the re-
luton which deem premature.
