ton up to the Clerks desk. Clerk Wool
Clayton. The Director glanced over it
and refused to permit It to be read. Then
there was a commotion. Several Free
holders demanded in concert and in loud
voices to have the resolution read. They
wanted to know what it was.
mn. Directori Mr.. sDirectorv' they
shouted, 'let us hear what the resolution
is. We have a right to know"
Director Clayton remained firm. He
said the resolution vas not a proper one
to be submitted to the Board. He had
declared 1t out of order, and he proposed
to stand by that decision. An appeal was
taken from the decision. but the Director
refused to entertain 1t. ~
Apprehending that the trouble was about
to. begin Director Clayton suggested that
a motion would be in order.
Freebooter Pierey, one Of the outs,
promptly took the cue and moved to
adjourn. The vote was five ayes and
twenty nays. The Director gave another
exhibition of nerve by declaring the mo-
ton carried and started to leave his seat.

ehair,,s cried out FreehoIder Riordan.
The Director paid no attention to the
appeal; but kept moving down from the
platform.

members of this Board are here TO trans
