There was more fun than usual at the
council meeting last evening. AS usual,
all the aldermen, realizing the necessity
thereof, we're in attendance. There was
some discussion of and a few minor
changes were made in the minutes, but
they we're finally approved. A commu-
nication from the G. A. r., inviting the
council to attend memorial services in a
body, was read, and on motion the COM
munlcation was filed, and it was re-
solved that the council, or as many
members thereof as could, should so at
tend.
A communication from the mayor, APP
pointing John G. Pollock poundmaster,
was read, and, mirabile dictu, the APP
pointment was confirmed without dis
sent. This appointment gave rise to
discussion as to whether or not the pres
ent pound laws were too strict, and
Alderman Braithwaite gave notice that
at the next meeting of the council he
would introduce an ordinance, amending
the n nov in force, and lessening the
fine for the allowing of stock to run at
large.
A communication from the executive
committee of the second reciprocity con
vention, to be held at st. Paul. une5 and
6, requesting the council to appoint a
delegation Of citizens, was read, and the
mayor empowered to appoint any repre-
sentative citizens who might wish to go.
The bond of the city clerk was next
taken up, and approved by the council.
And then the evenings row began again.
This time it was brought about by an
attempt of the council to reverse the
usual order, appoint city officers, and
have the mayor confirm them. A resolu-
tion was introduced, signed by Alder
men Braithwaite, Healy, Robidou, Gun.
bingham and Gussner, requesting the
mayor to appoint E. Falkenstine as
street commissioner, and P. McHugh.
as night Waterman and custodian of the
engine house. The mayor ruled that it
was proper for the council to request
that successors be named to appointive
officers, but that it was an improper as
sumption of authority for them to name
whom should be appointed, and he &C.
cordingly ruled the resolution out of
order.
Mr.. Healy at one appealed from the
ruling of the chair. and the mayor read
g xtracrs from the charter in support of
his position. The appeal being put,
there wcro five ayes and two nays, and
accordingly the chair was overru!ed.
Ma. iteade then moved to lay L , r.so.
luton ON the table, but the No ion was
los. 1t was then discovered nat the
resolution was out Of the regu I, order
Of business. anyway, and &C: rdingIy
there was another fight about the sus-
pension of rules. Mayor All, and
Alderman Robidou then had a lit, e
Sue passage aV arms.
Mayor Ailen-It makes no difference
about the suspension of rules, for [ Will
inform you now that 1 shall not ap-
point the men you request.
Alderman Robidou %(excitedly)- non
if you appoint anyone else you'll nave
to pay them. We won't.
Alderman Healy-We mean business
now.
Mayor Allen--Very we'll.
There was then a motion on suspen-
sion Of rules, and the matter was lost to
the ants, and they decided to allow the
resolution to go over to the regular order
of business.
The report OF the special committee on
the bill of II. Grambs, 81, for repairing
of water pipes, advised the allowance of
the bil(, and the advice of the committee
was acted upon and the bill allowed.
There wal then a little discussion over
the presentation of claims, and they
were finally ordered referred to tho
proper committee.
The resolution requesting the ap-
pointment of Falkenstine and McHugh
then came up in regular order of bust
ness, and was adopted. The mayor at
once prepared and had read a veto of
the resolution stating that it was IL
usurpation Of authority by the council,
and that he did not consider the mp.
pointments good ones. Mr.. Braithwaite
moved to pass tho resolution over tho
veto, and there were five ayes and two
nays on the appeal. The mayor declared
the chair sustained, it requiring two.
thirds Of all the aldermen elect, eight, to
