City Auditor Billliany returned with
out his approval tho bill OF Meat In.
spector Adele Of S25 for one months
use OF horse and wagon, on the
ground that IL Was contracted without
the permission of Council.
MIR. Magee said that while he did
not think any official was entitled TO a
horse and wagon, to be paid for by the
city, he also thought that II 1t was
done In one case, 1t should be done In
another, and that the meat inspector
was as much entitled to q team as
any one else. In Ills opinion, Council
had erred In ever providing team for
any official.
AR. Thomas said that he thought
about the same. Men accept these
positions ut O specified salary, and IL
they need q team they should provide
1t themselves. II this thing Is goi ng
to continue, he would be In favor OF
providing every member OF Council
with a horse and wagon.
Mr.. RntiedRe thought an exception
should b8 made IN the case OF an Off
cial. who increases the revenue of the
city by the use OF horse ard wagon,
such BIS the building Inspector. BY tho
city providing him with q team he is
enabled to get around and see that no
rows OF houses are built without
permit. as was formerly the case.
MIR. Murray was opposed to proyid-
ling horse and wagon for any official,
but be thought there should be an ex-
|ception In the case OF the building in
|spector, as he would not be able to At
tend to his duties without one. He
|brings in a revenue, but the meat in.
|spector docs not bring IN anything.
The discussion was continued for
some time. when finally motion was
adopted to accept the report Of the
auditor.
Mr.. kcKelVey then moved that the
further consideration OF the bill be In
definitely postponed. and the motion
prevailed. This dispoees OF the mat.
ter. and IL the meat inspector wants q
team he will have 10 provide it him
self.
The ordinance defining the duties OF
the meat inspector passed . second
Ireading. and was referred TO the Law
IGommittee.
