The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-07-18

Andrews & Co. had offered County Re
cofder Lippman the finest chair in Salt
Lake if he would advise the committee
TO furnish the recorders new office in
the style that Andrews & Co. were
anxious to supply. The speaker said
IN his dealings with furniture houses
he had found Andrews & Co. very
nlgh. He thought in the matter of the
clock that if the order could be re-
scinded 1t ought to be done. .
Lynn repealed the idea or the in
situation that the committee had been
br1bed with liquor. cigars and chairs
Not one of them had ever been offered
anything, not even cigar.
McCornick-I did not refer to the
city's committee. My remarks referred
to the county's committee
Newell thought the presidents re-
marks reflected on the city's commit
tee, although he did not think Mr. Nc
+Cornick intended it that way 1t, how
ever, appeared to him that there was
no doubt the council by special reso-
luton had empowered the committee to
buy the clock and they must now pay
for it.
Daly-If it is impossible to stop this
clock, we should do something to stop
other purchases being made by this
committee.
Lynn suggested that he be allowed
to resign from the committee and that
Mr.. Daily take his place.
Young moved as a substitute to
Days resolution that it be the sense
of the council that the mayor or the
committee let no more contracts and
make no more purchases until author
lied to do so by the council.
Cheesman said that so many little
things were wanted that it was impos-
sible to consult the council in, merely
from the fact that it entailed too much
labor. He thought it best as mem
Der of the committee that the
whole committee resign and that
the council appoint a committee
who were opposed to the finishing OF
the building or at least a committee in
whom the council had faith.
Cohn thought the object of the coun-
Gil had been attained by the discussion
and that the committee would not let
any more contracts of any magnitude
without consulting the council
Young's resolution was amended to
read so as to give the committee power
to eXpend sums up to $500 without con-
sulting the council but that any con-
tracts involving an expenditure of
more than $500 must be submitted to
the council for ratification and it was
SO passed.
FILLIBUSTERING.
O'Meara called for a reconsideration
of the resolution passed at the previ-
Gus meeting postponing action on the
copper plant bonus for four months.
Young objected ON the ground that
the question had once been reconsider
ed and it was out of order to do so
again.
The chair held that O'Meara was out
of order. The latter appealed from the
decision of the chair and the chair was
sustained. O'Meara then moved that
the rules be suspended and that the
question be taken up and reconsidered.
The motion prevailed upon, which
Cheesman moved to adjourn Lost.
Young saw O'Meara was very anxi-
Gus to get the question brought up, as
1T appeared to him, 1T was because two
or three members who werd opposed to
the copper plant bonus were absent
and he could thus have the matter re-
considered and decided to suit his
views
O'Meara-I object; the member is out
OF order according to the rules
Young-The rules were suspended ON
your own motion and I can talk about
anything and everything I like. I
move to adjourn.
The motion prevailed and council ad-
Journed till next Tuesday evening.
