Fillibusters Are Led
Out of the Woods.
A VERY LIVELY SESSION.
Another Attempt to Adopt Rules
But it Was a Failure.


They seem to be afraid OF being killed of
separately.
II was the same old fight and it started
early.
Mayor Carroll called to order and the
Clerk began to read the records Of the
meeting held Feb. 10. The Republicans
began TO show their teeth when the part
OF the records relating to pool table
licenses was reached.
The records stated that three applica-
tions were ordered, and Mr.. Adams moved
that the records be amended so as to read,
"The applications were ordered advertised
and referred to the Chief of Police"
This was carrying out the Republican
plan OF not recognizing the Mayors COM
mittees.
or course Messrs. O'Rielly and Winters
objected to this. They contended that the
Committee on Police should investigate
the applications and that the Chief was
an advisory party.
Mr.. Davis said they were referred to
the Chief of Police.
The City Clerk-They were ordered ad-
vertised, but ] do not recollect any refer
ence to Chief of Police.
Then something occurred which never
had before i'm the history of the city. Mr.
Adams insinuated that the City Clerk was
loose in the manner of keeping his re-
cords.
Mr.. Adams said he called at the Clerks
office eight days after the last meeting
and the records were not made up.
II is hard to get "Sib" worked up but it
was some time before he got over this.
He said what Mr.. Adams said was true
but he does not make up the records un-
til they are approved by the Board.
Mr.. Adams soon saw he had made mis-
take.
There was good deal OF discussion and
Mr. O'Rielly enlivened 1t by asking of Mr..
Adams:
"Did you examine "A letter that came
from Fall River telling you that you did
not come in here and do this you could
not be elected?"
Mr.. Adams have not seen it.
Finally the records were amended, AL
dermen Adams, Davis and Miller voting
in the affirmative, and Aldermen O'Reilly
and Winters in the ne yative.
The Mayor-The amendment will be
made by the Clerk, but very much doubt
whether it should be made.
The records of the meeting OF the 18th
of February were then read and approved.
Regular business then came up.
The matter of accepting and grading
Japonica street, from Middle to North

A number of pool table license applica-
tions came up.
The Mayor and Messrs. O'Reilly and
Winters wanted them to go to the police
committee as customary.
The Republicans wanted to ignore the
committee and give them to the Chief of
Police.
The Mayor ruled ii out of order and re-
fused to put an appeal.
Matthew Berney's claim of 81 900 dam
age, caused by filling Sisson street, was
tabled

James II. Leonard whose place had been
raided.
Messrs. OReilly AMI Winters objected
TO anything being done with the applica-
tions until the Committee on Police had
looked into them.
