List. Are adopted as Submitted by
the Joint Committee With Few
Minor Changes.

Last evening the board of aldermen
held meeting, pursuant to adjourn
ment taken at the last regular meet
ing week ago Tuesday night. The
chief purpose of the meeting was to
pass upon the lists of judges of cleo
ton. but the report of the committee on
the Broadway loop was received, and
the ordinance was passed before the
other matter was considered.
The large Robert street contingent
present at the committee meeting in
the afternoon was conspicuous by it's
absence, and especially so in view of
the presence of nearly hundred bust
ness men from the wholesale district,
who had evidently kept better track of
| municipal affairs and had learned that
the board was to meet last night
AS soon as the report of the commit
tee recommending the passage of the
ordinance had been submitted, Aid.
Kenny moved the suspension of the
rules The motion prevailed, and the
| ordinance extending the loop to Broad
way was given it's second reading and
placed on it's passage. Before the vote
was taken Aid. Bigelow made a gen
for and against the loop, and advocat-
ing the passage of the ordinance.
Aid Donahower said that in the alb
sence of any objections to the passage
of the ordinance he would vote for it,
but he considered the proposed change
a serious matter, and thought that
there should be some better reason for
it than the mere improy of GER
tai r,rfxy fxa inta re-
Theodore SSchufmeier briefly summed
| up the reasons why the jobbers ask for
the Broadway loop. -
The vote was then taken on the pas
sage of the5 ordinance. In explaining
his vote Aid. Bigelow entertained the
board and the spectators with an ac
count Of the episode that varied the
routine of the committee meeting In
the afternoon: After relating how Mr..
Oppenheim lad fntfnated that he (Ald.
Bfgelow) could be taken out into the
hall and 'fixed,'' and how he (Ald. Big
eleW). theFeupon1 started after Mr.. OPP
penheim," the alderman said:
IT wish to publicly apologize for los
ing my temper. / realize that it was
wrong and unseemly on my part. But
after / informed Mr.. Oppenheim of the
nature of the engagement that called
me away. he was sorry for what he
had said"
In conclusion, Aid. Bigelow said that
things had come to a pretty pass If an
alderman's motives were to be impugn-
ed whenever he voted contrary to the
private interests of any party or par
ties. AS for to1erating any charge that
he could be fixed or .bribed, he GER
tainly would not take. it from any man.
He could live Without resorting to such
tactics. - 80 -, ,---s-.ss...sf
The clerk, then, proceeded with the
aroIi call, and. the ordinance was pas
sed by a, vote of 10 to L. Alderman
Shepard voting in the negative as he
thought that the street railway comp
any ought to have been heard, and was
opposed to any measure that tended
to injure or destroy the retail center.
President Markham's announcement
Of the passage Of the ordinance was
greeted with applause from the job
bers and manufacturers.
The board then passed to the con-
sideration of the lists of judges of
election recommended by the special
committee. Il.
Alderman eBigelow objected to ap-
proving the lists. inasmuch as the
Republican county committee had not
supplied list of alternates but had
simply named one judge for each pre-
cinct and had thereby deprived the
council of making any selection. On
motion of Alderman Bigelow the Re
publican list Was read and few
changes made. -
f. S. BrSantr,the secretary Of the
Republican county committee, suggest
ed that IL the RopulSts who had like
wise submitted but one name for each
district, were not required to submit
another list. it you'd be hardship to
compel the Republicans to prepare an
other list. fasf.
''That is eas1IxS. explained remarked
President Markham facetiously. 'The
was very difficult to find more than
one PopuIist in each district to act as
a Judge Of election.". tees~efs 5os
