ABOUT A VETO OF THE MAYOR.
SINCE DORAN SAYS STREET CAR

Summit Park Passes Despite the
Contract Which Says Not.

The members Of the assembly,, ana
particularly those who broke into the
last spring for the first time, need
coaching. whole chunks of it, in the
Of parliamentary proceedings.
This was apparent again at the meet
last evening, When the veto mes
sage of the mayor came up for con-
sideration. The resolution, which passed
beth houses some week or so ago, di-
rected the city attorney to take steps
which would result in the street rail-
company removing the tracks
from Smith and Thompson
The mayor vetoed the resolution when
1T came before him for approval and
in the message that the counc
had nc legal right to take any lei
action. The aldermen Tuesday night
passed the resolutions over the may
or's veto by a vote of s to 8. When it
reached the assembly last night, Mr..
Daily moved that the vote by which
1t was passed be reconsidered. This
motion was looked on with suspicion
by Messrs. Craig, Thompson, Albrecht,
Mabon and Dix, who had an idea that
this might be the place where the may
OF Was 10 DG Sat upOH, 81 W SpSdh.
They accordingly voted against the
reconsideration of the vote, and Presi-
den Arosin, with a sigh, declared the
motion lost. Assistant City Attorney
Phillips hustled from one to the other
of the suspicious members and final
ly convinced them that the motion was
in no way a reflection on the mayor,
but that it was usual in cases of veto
messages being received to reconsider
the vote and then either concur with
the writer of the veto or pass the mat
ter over his head. Mr.. Albrecht accord
ingly moved that the vote be recOnsid-
cred which had just been taken, and
the veto message properly brought be-
fore the body. This Was lone and then
the action Of the mayor in vetoing the
resolution concurred in by a unani-
nous vote. TWAS brought out by Mr..
Thompson that the mayor had lone
the right thing in vetoing the resolu-
ton, as Supt. Smith had informed his
and several of the members of the
assembly that no more cars would be
stored on the tracks on Thompson and

tee and called attention to the fact
that, while the head street commits
5s0nar, who, by the way, is a relative
or c mayor, received only $751; SO per
month, it was the, intention to pay Mr..
SymondS 500 per month. Mr.. Reardon
said the present mayor and he nae
investigated the work done by the
inspector some time ago and
found that he was earning about SIS
per month for the city and that his
services were not needed by the city.
MI. Reardon said a whole lot of nice
thlngs about the sewer inspector and
wound up by saying that there was no
right under the charter to hire such
an officer. The other members Of the
assembly, however, didn't see the mat
ter IN the same light as Mr.. Reardon
and voted to "a the resolution. Mr..
DaIy n Mr.. Craig complimented Mr..
Symonds very highly on his work and
ability. :

rected to notify the various wholesale
dealers of the passage of the resolu-

1t best to have all wholesale dealers
come under the same law.
