 MT. Klinkerfuss moved the adoption of the resolution, and Councilmen c. E. Burton and Brown seconded the mo- tion. Councilman Burgess thought that this resolution was similar to the one just vetoed by the mayor, and that 1t it passed the council it would meet 8 like fate at the hands of the mayor. He moved that the resolution be tabled for one month His motion was lost, as was also a motion to adjourn.
 Councilman Brown moved that the councilmen go into committee of the whole to consider the resolution, this motion being offered in view of the pro- wilson of section 132 of the new city charter which says, "No vote, resoluI ton or measure shall be put upon it's passage, except by unanimous consent until it shall have been referred to and reported by suitable committee after hearing"

 Ayes-Cronan, Wrinn, Flanagan, Dove, Fisher, Klinkerfuss, Thorpe, Burton, Brown, Coffey-10.
 Nays-Fuller, Beers, Liefield, Carle- ton, Burgess, Graves, Loveland, Isbell and Stewart-9.
 Alderman Burton called Councilman Fuller to the chair, while the body was in a committee of the whole. After MT. Filler had taken the chair Councilman Isbell moved that the committee rise, since the motion to go into the commit- tee of the whole had not stated that the object of so going into committee was to hold a hearing, which section 1S2 of the charter specifies must be held
 The motion was not put, but the chair
