SPECIAL MEETINGS.

The result had no sooner been an
nounced when Dale offered the follow
ing:
Resolved, That it be the sense of
the members here present that they de-
cline to receive or make any charge
for services at this session"
Immediately OMeara arose and in
terposed an objection, contending that
the resolution was out of order for the
reason that the body could not, by
such a move, prevent anyone from
drawing their pay, which was provided
for by ordinance.
President Newell ruled against him
and O'Meara noted an exception. He
took the floor and denounced the pro-
ceeding as a grand stand play. Even
though the motion carried any member
of the council that saw fit could draw
their pay.
Romney thought, in the light of all
the circumstances, it would be an out
rage for the members to charge any
thing. He had affixed his signature to
the call with the express understand
ing with the majority of the members
that no charge was to be made.
Callister thought the resolution could
not be legally binding. If it was de-
sired to resist payment for services,
why not have the finance committee
cial meeting-refuse to sign the pay
roll?
Stewart had an adherence for grand
stand plays and made a vigorous talk
in opposition to the resolution, when
O'Meara. interrupted him and asked if
he (StewarO did not. at the time the
retrenchment wave struck the present
council, vote to reduce his own salary
20 per cent?
Yes, sir replied Stewart.
"Have you ever turned any of that
20 per cent back into the city treas
ury as yod voted to do?" continued
O'Meara.
mo, SIR was the frank reply of the
member from the Fourth.
o'MEARA GETS WARM.
O'Meara got mad. He took the floor
and talked about the condition of af-
fairs. He was surprised that Dale
should ruffle the gathering by intro
ducing such a resolution. 1t was moth
ing but a gallery play. He criticised
Stewart and hit right and left at any
thing and everything TO prevent the
passage of the measure. When he fin
ally sank back in his chair exhausted,
Newell, who had called Dale to the
chair, gained the floor.
Newell thought there was a great
y
olution. He took it the authors de-
sign was simply to get an expression
from the members of the council. He
knew as well as anybody that if any
member desired to draw his pay for
the special session no resolution could
prevent him from doing so.
PUTS ON A RIDER.
Buckle, at this point, sprang another
surprise on the member from the Fifth
by moving to add to the resolution:
And that the finance committee is
hereby prohibited from signing the pay
roll for this extra session"
O'Meara raised another objection and
launched into criticisms until he was
called to order.
In spite of all this the resolution
went through, all voting in the affirm
alive except Allen, LIE Prohon and
O'Meara.
ALIENS REASON.
Allen. in casting his vote, explained
that he opposed the measure for the
reason that it was in conflict with an
ordinance of the city. OMeara said
something of the same effect.
The meeting then came to a close

REGARDING WARRANTS.

Now as 20 whether g warrant issued
or claim allowed is a liability or indebt-
edness, permit me TO say that "liabili-
fy'' is defined to be "a responsibility:
the state of one who is bound in law
and justice to do something which
may be enforced by action" [Bouvier's
law dictionary Under this definition
can it be said that an allowed claim
or warrant issued upon the treas
urer by the county auditor as pro-
vided by law, wifi constitute q liabil-
fly or Indebtedness against the county?
/ am of opinion that either or both is
a liability of the county, unless they
come within the inhibition of the law,
and that they reman a liability or in
debtedness until discharged by pay
