Snow fakes melting on his cheek.

for the election of city officers, and warrants
for such ward meetings shall contain an article
for that purpose.
Mr.. Guptill moved the adoption of
this order.
Alderman Josselyn said the names of
the minority of the committee did not
appear signed to that report. From his
experience of city affairs it had always
been the custom for committees ap-
pointed to consider a subject, to do SO.
But he waited three weeks for the COM
mittee to be called together. Finally
last Wednesday they were summoned,
and this plan was presented in manner
unsuspiciously, childlike and bland!
And what did the minority of the
committee find? They found that the
meetings apart and perfected a partisan
scheme, series of wards SO divided
that the Republicans of Portland could
not claim safely more than one ward in
tho entire city. Then we began to dis
cover that there was method in the
smoothness of the majority. The gen.
tlemen have done their work with great
skill, but it seems to me that the affairs
of the city should not be conducted on
SO partisan basis. I believe that the
division should be made on broader
and fairer basis, and I ask that the mat
ter be more carefully considered before
any division is adopted.
Alderman GuptilI replied that he
thought it came with poor grace from
the gentleman from to complain of par
tisanship, considering that for twenty
years the old, crooked ward lines had put
the Democrats at disadvantage. TWAS
true that the minority Of the committee
had not had much to do with the plans;
but IT could not be expected that they
would, for they were prepared to oppose
everything Democratic.
Alderman Steven spoke in favor of the
new scheme. He thought 1T would give

TO the Honorable Mayor and City Coan-
ctl Of the City Of Portland:
GENTLEMEN: Referring to the recent
offer of the Portland Water Company. to
submit certain questions raised before
the city council by His Honor, the Mayor,
to the next law term of the Supreme Jul
dicial Court for adjudication, either. on
an agreed statement of facts or other
wise. as the city might desire, we wish to
say
First.-The Portland Water Company
believed that, if the validity of the con-
tracts between the company and the city
was to be denied, twas just and proper
far the payments contemplated by those
contracts to be wholly suspended until
the questions at issue should have been
determined. The taxes to be paid by
the company are regulated by those con-
tracts just as much as the payments to
be made by the city to the company r

ing the adjudication, payments either
way should cease until the matter should
be determined. and then payments in &C

ordered, That the proposition of the Portland
Water Company submitted at this meeting for a
reference of pending questions to the next law
term Of the Supreme Court for decision Isl De and
ment by the Water Company OF the taxes now
due, the City Solicitor be and hereby is directed
to take all such legal steps as may pc necessary
and proper for carrying the same into effect.
Here was an opportunity to settle the
whole question, the Water Company
having receded.
But that would have removed the
Mayors opportunity to make campaign
thunder. So the aldermen. led by the
redoubtable Gallagher, laid the whole
matter on the table.
The Mayor can twist the tail of the
Water Company lion now to his hearts
content; and there is no doubt that he
intends to make this performance a
large part of his campaign.

sententious comment of Alderman Gal

sponsor for the scheme, laid much
stress on the fact that the new lines were
pretty straight. The new division is
plausible on the face of it, but as AL
durlnan Josselyn remarked in his brief,
but forcible speech, it leaves but one
ward to the Republicans. Under the sur

Second. But, as the committee on jul
dicial proceedings and claims is not sat
is1ed with the original proposition of
the water company to suspend all pay
ments either way until the decision of
the court, and, SO far as the Water Com
pany is advised, the committee has not
taken favorable action upon the other
proposition of the Water Company SUBJ
mitted to the committee, VIZ: for the
Water Company to ray to the city the
difference between the $4,000 due the
company and the taxes due the city, now,
in order to avoid all possible ground of
controversy with the city, and to Submit
to the court in the most prompt and ami
cable manner the single question of the
validity of the existing contracts, the
Portland Water Company hereby repeats
to the city council the proposition for
reference of these questions to the court
which it recently made, and which was
referred. to the committee on judicial
proceedings and claims, with the addi-
tional offer to y at once all the taxes
claimed to be due from the Water Com
pany under existing contracts.
