BASIS OF THE ACTION.

1t was on this plea that the suit be-
gan yesterday was based. but judge
Archibald held that II was not suf-
ficient. The attorneys for the relator
offered In evidence the minutes of the

The most the relator could show was
that tn minutes as they appeared on
the books of Secre tary Schubmehl were
not a p owed. simply Because it was
and six and the motion to approv
would be lost on tie vote. 1t would

that the minutes had en- corrected.
