One man was angry and many were
pleased over the fact that a quorum
for a special meeting Of common Coun-
ell failed to materialize last evening.
The angry man was Councilman
Grior, of the North End who had been
made a catspaw in getting four other
members to join him in a call for the
meeting. Ostensibly-and really, as far
as Mr.. Grier was commemorative meet
ing was to be for the particular pur-
pose of conCurrng in select Councils
resolution awarding the contract for
building the Cumberland Hose house.
That was not the true reason, how
ever. The opponents of the LaCka-
wanna telephone franchise wanted the
meeting held so that the common coun-
Gil end of the conference committee on
the franchise amendments could be ap-
pointed.
a quorum was probably prevented
by city officials friendly to the new
company. The latters representatives
in council will now have opportunity
tonight in select council to bring about
a reconsideration Gs the action taken
| at the last meeting, when they failed
| to secure concurrence on common Coun-
ellis amendments.
This could not be done tonight il
common council had developed quo
rum last night. In that case con-
! ference committee would have been APP
! pointed, and under the rules no re-
| consideration could be had.
Mr.. Grier was very much disturbed
over his failure to hurry along the
| Cumberland building contract, but hi
was much hotter when it dawned upor
him that the Central Telephone advo
Gates had encouraged him to have the
meeting called and had then failed tc
| provide quorum.
He made no secret Of his displeasurt
| while flying around the corridors anc
told all within hearing that someone
besides himself would pay the fiddler
Those who responded to roll call were
| President Mor and Messrs. Reese
Grier, Walker Calpin, Gilroy, Sheri'
dan, Cusick and Norton.
