the same reasons as heretofore ex- pressed.
 Were there TO other quest tions in- yelved than the mere matter of de- termining the amount of water which the said company has fur nished for fire purposes, during the period set out in their claim, as com. pared to what they were required to furnish under the terms of their con tract with the city, then, in my hum- ble judgment, the Council would have justifable grounds for their actions in moving to pay the Water { ompaDy such portion of their claims as would be in keeping with the services rendered. But, when 1t is notorious fact that such actions i by the Council will serve to put at rest the very essence Of the dispute that of the claims of domestic con- sumers-then there remains but lit tie for the consumer to hope for in the way of protection at the hands of this Honorable Body.
 Is it not also fact that upon re- lfusal on the part of any citizen of this city to pay for such water, he is confronted by the same intimidating influences and bull-dozing tactics
 which appear to me to have been recently practiced by the Water | lC1n.s,rn,axy Ia .f this city aRd its citizens? Are we not being whipped into line and made to pay an unjust claim, under an arbi- trary threat to supend the contract, shut off water, and leave property and effects wide open to the mercies of fire-fiend and flame-a policy rev olutionary in its character, instead of being compelled to resort to the courts of the land for redress, as cit izens are required to do, in cases where they have disputed claims to settle.
 If it be the policy of this Council in treating with corporation which has been given extraordinary priv iliges and valuable franchises, free of charge, and which takes the peoples money without full compliance with the contract, to ignore the rights of private citizens, then cannot, under my oath of office, and pledges to the people, join hands with them. If it be their pur- pose where the city and citizens are alike interested, to settle disputes to l the exclusion of the citizens in- tprest, and with an eye solely to put ting money into the city s exchequer, then, and in such cases, shall be | compelled to withhold my approval to ali such transactions, and let the blame fall where it belongs. The Water Company dare not go into the courts of the country and under take before a jury of twelve good citizens to establish it's demands against the city, under the rules of the law. If it did; where would it go within the limits of our city to find single witness who would get upon the witness stand and on his oath say that the Water Company has eyer compiled with it's contract, either with the city or with the pri- vate consumers, who pay their money? Such q witness, if found.
 would certainly be a curiosity to our people and would be worthy ex- hibit at our coming County Fair. I am not ayerse to paying the

ing that any discourtesy was in- tended by the act.
 Alderman Fox then moved that a warrant be drawn in favor of the Light and Water Company for the sum of g, 2,669.75, in full settlement of tlieir claims against the city during the months of April, May, June, July and August, 1897. Whereupon the Mayor called attention to the law which provides that in DO ease shall a warrant be drawn on the treasury until the Council has first appropriated by resolution a suffi- eient portion of the city's funds not otherwise appropriated to provide fer the payment of same.
 The motion was temporarily with drawn and Alderman Well intro duced q resolution for the appropri- ation of $5,000 out of any future revenues of the city not already ap- propriated for the purpose of paying any warrants which may hereafter be drawn against it.
 Alderman Hightower made point of order that this was business not set out in the call. and, consequent ly, could not be considered at this special meeting, unless all members of the Council were present. The point of order was susta ined by tie Mayor. Appeal was taken and same sustained by a vote of six Aldermen to one-Hightower voting in the negative.
 The resolution appropriating S3,- 900 was then adopted, whereupon the Mayor vetoed it, giving as his reasons therefor that he believed the act was illegal.
 Alderman Johnson moved that the Mayors veto be not sustained which was carried by vote of to l, Hightower voting in the negative.
 Alderman FOX renewed motion to draw warrant in favor of the Light and Water Company for the sum of $2, ,669. .75 in full settlement of account tor water furnished during April, May, June, July and August, 1897, which was adopted. The Mayor then vetoed the order. giving his reasons therefore as follows: 
 GENTLEMEN OF THE CoENcIL:-I have convened the Council In extra ordinary session. to meet at midday, on very short notice, at the peti. tion of Aldermen Meyer. Well, John son, Bridges and Fox, for the pur- pose, they say. of directing the pay ment of $2,669.75 to the Light and Water Company; and, knowing be- fore hand, by reason of the informa- tion given me in said petition, that said amount would be ordered by them paid out of the money of the taxpayers of this city to the Light and Water Company, I have, in ad- vance, prepared what I, as Mayor of the city, have to say with reference to 1t.
 In passing upon thequestion again, I can see no cause for changing my opinion or the action taken by me against former resolution adopted by this Council. embodying the same matter as is contained in the resolu- tion just adopted. Therefore, in re- fusing to lend approval to this method of settling the disputed 1Iaim of the Light and Water Com many against the city, shall employ
