cessor at this time. a resolution OIL
fered by Mr.. c. A. Robinson was adopt
ed. 1t provided for the acceptance OF
the Health Officers resignation to take
effect when his successor shall have
been appointed and qualified. When
the resolution came up in the Second
Branch, Mr.. Bender arose and said:
Mr.. Chairman, that's from the First
Branch, isn't it?"
Yes, sir"
We'll, well, what do you think Of
that?"
He discovered where he "was at in
a moment and opposed the postpone
ment of action. Mr. Hahne ditto.
Mr.. Hahne inquired OF the Chair if
the adoption of the resolution would
prevent Council from going into an
immediate election, and received an
affirmative reply Mr.. Maxwell, after
adjournment, stated that he misunder-
stood Mr. Hahne's question, and men,
bers attribute the entire trouble to his
ruling.
The resolution was defeated and the
Second Branch refused TO concur. The
action of the Second Branch was COM
municated to the First. The latter
body declined to bulge from its posi-
ton and asked for committee on con-
ference to consist of two members from
the First Branch and three from the
Second. The Second concurred and
the following committee was appointed:
DR. Taylor Dr.. Stathers, Mr. Britt, MIR.
Butts and Mr.. Kalbitzer. When Pres
ident Maxwell appointed the Second
Branch members, Mr.. Bender was on
his feet and charged that the three
members were among those who voted
against the motion TO proceed to an
election, to which the President re-
tOrted that Mr.. Bender had no right to
express his opinion in the matter, as the
right of appointment lay in the Chair.
A recess was taken for five minutes
and the committee retired Upon re-
turning Mr.. Britt reported that "the
committee agreed to disagree
Mr. Hahne-"Mr President, regard
the action of the First Branch in hold
ing on to this man after he has resign
ed as an imposition on the people"
Mr.. Bender-"There were five men,
bers on that committee. and it looks
very much like two whipped three"
A motion to adjourn was defeated
Mr.. Hahne then moved to call the First
Branch members into the Second
Branch chamber in order to try to come
to an agreement.
When the report of the conference
committee was made in the First
Branch, His Honor ruled that in view
Of the refusal Of the Second Branch to
concur, no vacancy exists in the Office
Of Health Officer Then the invitation of
the Second Branch was communicated
and Mr. Richards suggested that The
Second Branch be told where it was
at" The Second Branch was aquaint-
ed with the ruling of the Mayor, and Mr..
Maxwell called Dr.. Stathers to the
chair and tried to unite the perpleXing
knot He agreed with the Mayor.
