The president frankly explained the
situation. He said the message would

American citizens in Havana, and es-
pecially Gen. Lees personal safety,
rendered delay imperative.
The Democrats all expressed them

LACKED A QUORUM.
Common Council Did Not Meet Last
Night-Tax Resolution Was
Not Acted Upon.

Thanks to the Democratic members
of common council the resolution ex-
tending to Oct the time for the pay
ment of taxes without penalty was not
passed by common council last night.
Unless a special meeting is called be-
fore Sept. 1 a penalty will be added to
taxes paid on and after that date or
until common council meets again,
Sept s.
Only ten members were on hand last
night. They were President Moir and
Messrs. Keller, c.. Wenzel, Jackson,
Wirth, NJ. Morris, Reese, oliver, Zizle-
man and Walker. They waited in the
lower branch chambers until $50
o'clock. and then adjourned. Mean
while nearly all the Democratic men,
bers had been halted on the steps
leading to the building.
The reason for this condition of af-
fairs appears in the Farber court sew
er muddle. For so trivial a matter the
tax resolution is held up.
Thornton & Co., the Farber court
sewer contractors, failed during the
progress of the work, and their bonds
man, J. ]. Fahey, was obliged to fin
ish the work. City Engineer Phillips
made the voucher for the work payable
to the contractors. A resolution passed
select council directing payment to the
contractors and the bondsman accord
ing to the work that each had respec-
lively performed. Meanwhile creditors
of the firm had filed assignments with
the city controller. They caused the
resolution to be tabled when it reached
common council.
1t was understood that the council
| men favorable to Mr.. Fahey would last
night endeavor to have the resolution
taken from the table and passed. This
plan was halted, however, when it be-
came apparent that not enough votes
could be secured. The councilmen who
would have voted for action on the res
olution were induced not to attend the
| meeting and mo quorum" was the re-
suit.
Ordinarily the failure to have a
meeting would not have been at all
significant, but just now it is different.
On Aug. IS select council passed a res
olution extending from Sept to Oct.
the time for paying city taxes with
out penalty. No meeting of common
council will be held until Sept. s. I'm
less special meeting of the lower
branch is called meanwhile, persons
who pay taxes before Sept. and after
Sept. l must pay the penalty.
