HOODOOED TIE ORDINANCE
Carl StrObGI Tries to Improve on Pub
lie Document.
He Inserts Words in an Ordinance
That Was Before the Board
of Supervisors


nance was up before the Supervisors
again yesterday, District Attorney
Ryan having submitted to the board a
corrected ordinance which, in his opin-
ion, would stand a legal test.
There were in the board room Carl
Strobel, Joseph Lang and young Mr.
Brooke from Oak Park, who were pres
ent in support of the original ordinance
which the District Attorney had been
requested to amend. They were per-
mitted to examine the new ordinance,
and when it was returned to the Clerk
1t was found that Strobel had inserted
certain words.
Chairman Morrison wanted to know
by what authority he had altered the
document, and Strobel replied that he
did not know it was the District Attor-
ney's ordinance.
STROBEL SCORED.
Assistant District Attorney Jones said
the ordinance had been prepared care
fully and after a great deal of labor
Considerable time was required to look
up all the law points involved and to
prepare an ordinance that would stand
before the courts. Mr.. Strobefs act, he
said, was an unwarranted interference
with matter that was in the custody
of the board.
Supervisor Todd said that for one he
wanted to have things done in legal
and business-like manner, and he
moved that the ordinance be laid on the
table. The motion was carried
Strobel then apologized to the board
for his action in altering the copy.
HOODOO NUMBER TWO.
Lang desired the board to take the
matter up again for action. He intimat-
ed that somebody had a pull with the
board, and employed an oath to en-
phasize his remarks.
Chairman Morrison called him to or
der. and warned him that he must use
respectful language in addressing the
board.
Lang then left the room after hurting
personal insult at Supervisor Dreman,
who had on Tuesday expressed himself
against new legislation on the subject,
believing that the State law on the
subject was sufficient.
Strobel again asked that his objection
able interlineation be erased and the
ordinance considered.
SHOULD BE CHAINED UP.
Chairman Morrison-The ordinance
has not been rejected. It simply lies on
the IdDles anu Cctl4 NC teefNCAA ~ 90 ~N--S
time. Mr.. Strobel, your act was an un-
fortunate one for the ordinance. Your
friends should have chained you up
and not allowed you to come here.
StrobeI concluded he had done about
all the good (and harm) possible, and
departed.
Mr.. Brooke urged that the board con-
slider the ordinance, as he and others
interested were not responsible for Mr.
Strobel's action. There is more than
one fat-boiling plant out that way and
the people of the neighborhood wanted
all such nuisances abated.
Supervisor jenkins said he under
stood that establishments of that KIND
were necessary, but he thought time
should be set for considering the ord1-
nance and have both sides present
their evidence for and against the ordi-
nance.
TO HEAR THE EVIDENCE.
It was finally determined by the board
that a. date would be fixed for hearing
all parties concerned. The ordinance
prepared by the District Attorney reads
