Mr.. Braithwaite moved the confirma-
ton Of the committees as read. Mayor
Allen ruled him out of order. Mr..
Braithwaite appealed. Mr.. Healy Sec
onded. MI. Braithwaite started to put
the appeal when Mayor Allen stopped
him with a sharp rap Of his gavel and
the remark that he (Braithwaite) was
not mayor pro tenn. yet.
Mayor Allen then stated his reasons
for declaring the original motion out of
order. He had already appointed COM
mittees and there were no sach commit
tees to be appointed IS those read by Mr..
Braithwaite. He then put the appeal.
Mr.. Reade said the original motion to
confirm the committees was opposed to
rule 8 Of the charter. Mr.. HeaIy said
the council had no rules except those re-
Gently adopted. Mayor Allen said no
rules had been adopted, as he had vetoed
them. Mr.. Braithwaite said the rules
had been adopted by motion, and the
mayor had no right to veto a motion.
Mayor Allen SAID a motion, as soon as
passed, becomes a resolution and as such
he had a right to veto it. The appeal
from the chair was then sustained and
the original motion to confirm the
Bralthwaite- Healy committees put. This
was carried, and the mayor vetoed it as
usual. Mr.. Braithwaite moved to table
the veto, and this was carried and the
veto tabled.
The certificate of election of John
Homan was then presented and appro.
we'd. and his bond ordered referred to
the committee on bonds. The bond of
E. G. Chase was also referred to the
same committee, but was afterwards re.
called and approved by the council.
The petition of Chas. Kupitz request
ing permission to erect a wooden avn
ing was read and referred. A com.
municatlon from a st. Paul firm, relating
to sewerage was read and ordered filed.
MI. Healy moved that the regular
council meetings be held on the first and
third Mondays in each month-carried.
The following bills we're presented
and referred.

Nj. Braithwaite then precipitated an
other row by moving that the clerk be
instructed to have the rules presented by
himself printed IN pamphlet form, and
the committees, likewise read by him
self, embodied IN it, and that each men,
Der be supplied with a copy of the
pamphlet.
Mayor Allen said no rules had been
adopted by the council, according to his
way of thinking, and that if the pamph-
lets were ordered printed the bill would
not be paid. This was as good a way as
any, he thought, to get the matter into
the courts, and he would put the motion.
After it had carried, the mayor trans
mitted q veto thereof to the clerk, which
was read.
MI. Braithwaite-I appeal from the
chair.
Mayor Allen-From what do you
appeal?
MI. Braithwaite-I appeal from the
veto daughter among the spectators.)
Mayor Allen-I can't see how you
a appeal from a veto.
MI. Standardization I appeal from
the ruling of the char.
Mayor Allen-The chair has made no
ruling.
There was considerable laughter at
Mr.. Braithwaithe's decidedly novel de-
parture in appealing from a veto, and
he finally withdrew his appeal and the
veto was tabled on motion Of Mr.. Healy.
The council then adjourned.
AS matters stand, city affairs look de-
cidedly mixed. There are two sets of
committees, two sets of rules and two
opposing forces. Mayor Allen will not
recognize the committees appointed
(almost) by Messrs. Braithwaite and
Healy. Upon the occasion of the first
committee report there will be reports
from two different committees. The
tabling of the mayors veto, in two cases,
does not by any means render it in
operative. It merely postpones the
struggle from n meeting night to an
other. City affairs cannot but be
neglected while the present lamentable
condition of things prevails, and the
sooner the matter comes before a court
of law the better it will be for all con-
cerned.
