ed Of the city attorney a report as to the
legality OF the water question have by
some persons been interpreted as includ-
| ing the chair, and the structures that l
then expressed have by some persons
been said to have been considered by the
chair as q reflection upon him.
Il desire to say that nothing was
farther from my thoughts or Intentions
than to ascribe to the chair any other
than the most honorable motives, and
in taking exception to the ruling Of the
president I simply did SO for the reason
that supposed that he was in error In
a parliamentary ruling. If what said
has been the source of any annoyance or
aggrievement I now wish to apologize
for what SAID I have since been sa tis-
| fed that the ruling was right in every
particular"
Replying. Mr.. Silver said that he could
realize that in the heat of debate per-
son might say things that were not
intended and another might construe
things said as having a different mean
ing from what was intended The fact
that when asked whether he had intend
ed to include the chair Mr.. Toll had not
answered directly led him to believe at
the time that he had been included in.
the arraignrnent but Mr.. Tolls explana-
| tion removed entirely any such impress
SION He said that his words had re-
moved the temporary shadow that had
fallen upon their friendship, and closed
by thanking Mr.. Toll for his manly
! statement.
