The city council did not impeach
Mayor EustlS last night, or take any
steps i'll that direction, as predicted by
president evening paper. The session
was long one, and did not become
interesting until after the bulk OF
routine business had been disposed of.
Then the aldermen warmed up. They
engaged in the liveliest kind of a tilt
over the bills presented by the paving
junketers, which resulted in a refusal
Of the council to instruct the comptroller
to draw warrant for the 1898 spent by
the aldermen and city officials who went
to GaleSburg, Ill.,, to inspect vitrified
brick. The bill of $500 incurred by the
paving committee which went Oh the
first junket received the necessary
twenty votes, but no more.
After this matter had been disposed
of Aid. NOrdeen and Aid. McAllister
each took a shy at Mayor Eustis. Aid.
Nordeem launched his harpoon In the
shape Of the following resolution:
That this council requests and directs Hon.
William II. Eustis. the mayor of the city of
Minneapolis, to strictly enforce within the
limits of the city each and ali of the laws
and ordinances of the city as they now exist,
and TO enforce obedience to the provisions
and requirements of such laws and ordi-
nanceS by the Inhabitants of the city without
exception or pattlallty.
II move to lay that resolution on the
table," exclaimed Aid. Ingenhutt. II
think so long as we have a mayor who
knows his business as we'll as Mayor
EuStlS that such Il resolution should be
laid on the table"
Aid. Haynes said that he could vouch
that the citizens of the Second ward
were satisfied with the mayors admins
tration of the laws and ordinances
there.
II dissent from that opinion" re-
marked his colleague, Aid. Snyder.
Somebody moved to refer the reso-
luton to the police committee. but the
motion was lost by Is to 9. The motion
to lay the resolution on the table was
thereupOn carried without further dis
cuSSlOn.
But the row over the junketers' bills
furnished the spicieSt entertainment of
the evening. The bill for the second
junket-that 10 Galesburg, etc. was
first submitted. In the meantime Aid.
Flanders, Miner and Adams had left
the chamber, leaving only tweDty-three
present. 1t required twenty votes to
authorize the drawing of the warrant on
the contingent fund. The bill was
1898. 80. As the roll was called. some of
the four aldermen who voted against
the resolution explained their votes.
Their explanations were facetiouS at
the expense of the eleven aldermen who
went on the junket. Aid. Bradish was
severely funny. He said:
This whole business reminds ME of
lot of swine squealing and crowding up
to Swill trough. Those that get there
grunt with satisfaction, and those that
| don't, SQueal with dissatisfaction. The
alderman from the Fourth Ward (medu-
ing Loye) is one Of those who is now
grunting with satisfaction. and as l like
10 hear an animal grunt with sati5fac-
ton, | will vote yes"
But after the roll was called Aid.
Bradsn changed his vote to no" The
result was II yeas to nays. The resO-
| luton lacked three votes of going
| through. The four negative votes were
cast by Aid. Snyder, BradiSh, BraZIe
and Skoog. Nordeen and Hay nes de-
clined 10 vote.
Aid. Woodward then stepped up and
said: II want 10 offer Il resolution for
the first trip" Loud laughter.]
This bill amounted to $500, and it was
allowed by 20 votes to 3, Aid. Rollins,
Peterson and Gray voting nay. 1t was
urged by Aid. Snyder, Harvey and
| others, in support of this resolution,
that the first paving iunket was au-
thorized by the council, and that it was
understood that the city would pay for

| profitable.
Aid. McAllister then had his innings
| and introduced the following:
| That the mayor be requested to make in
| quirIes regarding gambling at the following
| places:

After the reading Of the motion AID.
Love suggested that Aid. McAllIster be
provided with body guard, which
raised a laugh. McAllister's motion
was carried.
said. lngenhutt gave notice that at the
next meeting he would introduce an
amendment to the saloon ordinance
for the return of half. the uneXpired
license money in case the mayor re-
vokes the license. Aid. Ingenhutt
wants the ordinance amended so as to
provide for returning all of the uneX-
pred portion of the license fee.
Contrary 10 expectations, no further
action relative to the lowering of the
Milwaukee railroad tracks was taken.
