THE COUNCIL MEETS.

! When the council was called to order
last night it was found that Mayor Sloan
Councilmen Easley, Conway, McCabe
Victory, Ortiz y Salazar, Delgado, Bart.
lett and Andrews, full membership, were
present. The council chamber was crowd.
ed with citizens who were on hand as
spectators of the contest which was ex-
pected to ensue.
After the reading of the minutes of the
lust meeting, the finance committee re-
ported favorably several small bills. The
number of these was smaller than usual
and the mayor took occasion to refer to
this as a good omen for city finances.
The city attorney reported an ordinance
providing that the
PUBLIC VEHICLE STAND
should henceforth be on the four sides of
the plaza coping. The ordinance was
considered for few minutes by the or
dinance committee. and having received a
favorable report, WAS unenimou sly passed.
1t was ordered published ia the NEW
MEXICAN and will appear ia these columns
in loyal form.
An ordinance affecting the fines which
may be imposed by justices of the peace
was submitted by City Attorney Renehan.
This ordinance prevents the imposition
of fines less than IS, and as the ordinance
committee desired time to consider the
subject, it went over until tho next meet
ing.
At this Mayor Sloan announced that
the city police force had resigned, and
suggested that the council 60
INTO ExEoUTIvE SESSION
80 that he might make appointments OF
policemen. General Bartlett objected on
the ground that at tho last meeting his
motion to go into executive session in
considering tho charges against City
| Marshal Torres had been overruled. !,
was shown, however, that the, city Law
made executive sessions imperative il
considering nominations. Accordingly
by unanimous vote, the council decided
to deliberate behind closed doors and TIN
room was cleared Of every one, even re
porters, except members Of the council
the city attorney, city clerk, and the tw
claimants of the city marshalship, Tore
and Huber. 1t is supposed that the las
two both remained as the council did no
desire to undertake just there solutio
Of the mooted question as to which c
them was the city marshal. In executiv
session Mayor Sloan appointed
THE FOLLOWING
policemen: Ward l, Miguel Gormal
ward 2, Juan Olivas; ward 8, Jua
Ssneros; ward 4, Thomas Doffmeye
The open session was then resumed
when Councilman Easley moved that tt
council dlsspprove the action of tn
mayor in suspending Torres and al
pointing Huber. This motion WI
adopted by vote of 6 to 2, Gener
Bartlett and Councilman Ortiz = Salaz,
voting in the negative.
Mayer Sloan then had the clerk read
THE FOLLOWING CHARGES
with the affidavit accompanying them, sta
ing at the same time that no did not il
sist upon tho charge of actual intoxic
ton.
