The committee on sewerage recon-
aided that the allowance for the
iatenance of the engineering depart
.-ent be increased from $3.50 to $1,000
->r month during August, September,
october and November.
AS the appropriation for the months
named Will cover the expense entailed
during those months by the resurvey
of plat E, that old muddle was again
ventilated.
O'Meara declared that the resurvey
of plat e was a useless expense, and
involved question which time would
never settle.
Caliister called attention to the fact
that over $1,000 had been expended by
the city in endeavoring to untangle
the plat, and contended that for $1,000
more the resurvey could be completed.
The report was finally adopted by a
vote Of to 4, Dale. O'Meara, Stewart
and Newell recording their votes in the
negative
LLOYD'S LICENSE RESOLUTION.
A resolution offered by Lloyd, in
structing the city treasurer to refuse to
receive any application for d license
unless the same be sworn 10, as the
ordinances OF the city require, brought
out a discussion in which he was
toasted to a turn by Mulvey.
Mr. Mulvey, in a calm, dispasSiOnate
way, said that the young man (Lloyd)
was not in position to judge of the
hardships which would be entailed up
on merchants in these dull times if the
resolution carried, and was utterly
lacking in those business qualifications
which could give him proper under
standing of the situation. Why" said
Mulvey, the young man has admitted
TO me and in the presence of members
of the council, that he has never been
a taxpayer to the city"
Then Lloyd had his innings. While
not admitting that he was not tax
payer. he declared in indignant tones
that he was citizen of the United
States and a resident of this city. and
he proposed to do what he considered
to be his duty, no matter what was
said
Mulvey begged permission to ask him
a question.
Lloyd refused. saying: No. sir, will
net, because you never ask proper
question"
well, if you'll agree to answer" was
Mulvey's reply, III guarantee that the
question will be a proper one"
O'MEARA TAKES a HAND.
Then O'Meara put Lloyd on the spit
cestry, and referred to him as that
man who had never been elected to the
council, but had slid in in the night on
a toboggan slide" O'Meara contended
that Lloyd, who had admitted that he
had instructed the treasurer. had no
business to interfere with city Off
cial and declared that the treasurer
would be justified in throwing out of
his office any member who attempted
to interfere with him in the discharge
of his duties. The council was the
proper place for instructions to ema-
nate from. andeno from an individual
member.
Stewart did not think Lloyd had
acted right. He should have called the
question to the attention of the license
It. looked as though an
attempt was being made to censure the
treasurer and TO haul him publicly over
the Goals of criticism. we all know"
said Mr.. Stewart, that the treasurer
has been subjected to many trials, and
that the hard times have made it dou-
bly, hard for him to conduct his de-
partment."
The resolution was lost by the follow
ing vote:
