when the session Of the Council:was opened
x.sterday President Guggenheimer was at
t.ndIpg the meeting OF the Board Of Estimate,
and yice.prosident Oakley called tho members
TO order.
One of tho first resolutions introduced was
nv Councilman Wise tTam.h, granting permits
siop TO the Columbus Club to parade. Mr..
Wise asked for unanimous consent to the con-
Alteration OF the ordinance. Councilman Nc
Garry Uem) objected on the ground that tho
Issue Of such u permit was a matter entirely
in the hands OF the Police Board, but Mr.. Wise
insisted that his resolution be considered and q
sharp debate followed. Finally Mr.. McGarry
said:
"My point is that this Council is supposed TO
he an intelligent body of men, and 1t seems TO
me that we should act on this matter In an In
telligent wny."
81 don't think:there Is a member OF the Coun-
oil who is not willing TO admit that IL Is an in
telligent body retorted Mr.. Wise, "but all the
same ] want to have the resolution adopted"
The Council adopted the resolution. Tho
Committee on Public Buildings. Lighting, and
Supplies presented n report designating quar-
ters for the municipal courts in Brooklyn. There
was less than:a three. fourths vote in favor of
adopting the report and It was recommitted.
The proposition to let the Special Sessions
Justices use the old Brooklyn Common Council
Chamber was brought before the Council by
Councilman Doyle Dem.l, who:offered q resolu-
ton that tho room be assigned to the court tenn
porarily. Mr.. McGarry was on his feet to oppose
the proposition before the reading was. finished.
He said that thousands wero opposed to 1t, and
that they had some right to be heard before final
disposition was made. Mr., LEIGH tRepD said
