JUST A FEW MILD RETORTS

Inc council neld a snort meeting last /
evening. and although a good deal of |
business was disposed of the meeting |
was too quiet to be interesting as usual
to the spectators. A petition from the
Second ward, asking that the sidewalk
on the north side of Montana street be
extended to the north line of the city
limits. was referred to the street and
alley committee. The Phoenix Electric
Light company filed an acceptance of
its franchise and a bond in the sum of
IS, 900 with Andrew ]. Davis and James
A. Talbot as sureties. A communica-
ton from Frank L. Reber. secretary of
the populist city central committee,
asking that the following populists be
appointed judges of election in their
respective wards was read:
First ward-Denis O'Brien; Second
ward, Dan Bron Third ward, Thomas
Mclaughlin; Fourth ward, E. NJ. Rice;
Fifth ward, Charles McCray; Sixth
ward, ]. L. Davies; Seventh ward,
James o. Goodwin; Eighth ward, Dan
Mcdonald.
Byrne believed that the populists
were entitled to select their own judges
and moved that the request be grant
| ed Vivion said that the selection of
the aldermen and that he would insist
| on his right. "A populist who would
| be satisfactory to Mr.. Vivion might not
be satisfactory to populists," retorted
Byrne. THE Sixth ward has been
breeding a peculiar style of democrats
| lately. There must be something in the
| air in that part of town."
1.-THE air blows just as free in the
Sixth ward as it does in the First" re-
torted Vivion, and perhaps good
deal healthier"
Byrne's motion was then put and
was defeated by a viva voce vote.
A communication from r. F. Nc
Bride, attorney for Mrs. Lydia A. Nc
Leary, offering to sell the city piece
of ground in West Quart street for
81 400, which is 800 less than her pre-
vious offer. went to the street and al
ley committee.
The mayor notified the council that
he had vetoed the ordinance, passed at
the last meeting of the council, prohib-
iting the blowing of locomotive whistles
inside the city limits. He gave several
reasons for vetoing, one of them being
that whistles are necessary during the
smoky season. A protest from the rail-
roads against the ordinance was read.
Knowlton said that the aldermen were
isupposed to represent the people and
! not the railroads and seconded a mo-
ton by Pascoe to refer the whole mat
ter back to the judiciary committee.
! The motion was carried, Gamblers,
Cannon, Montgomery, Schatzlein and
Vivion voting against it.
