ALAMEDA TRUSTEES
IN STORMY SESSION
WARM DISCUSSION CONCERNING
THE TIDAL CANAL.
Lobbyists Accuse the Board of Not
Acting Honorably in the Matter
of Wooden Awnings.

ALAMEDA, Nov THE tidal canal
controversy was resurrected last night at
a meeting of the Board Of City Trustees
by a motion from Trustee Mackie that
committee be appointed to meet SINH
lar committee from Oakland to confer
upon the next step to be taken. A storm
broke almost Immediately. Trustee For
derer voiced his surprise that Mackie,
who, he said, had ridiculed a similar plan
some time ago, should resurrect 1t now.
He said such a conference was entirely
unnecessary, as the work was all ar
ranged in Alameda's favor and nothing
but an act of Congress could change 1t.
City Engineer Poyzer addressed the
board, stating that he agreed with Trus-
tee Forderer, but was interrupted by
President Brick.
you are out of order, Mr.. Poyzer,' he
said. When we want information we
"Im entirely in order" retorted Poyzer;
''I know what I'm talking about and you
do not"
Matters were smoothed over later. when
President Brick admitted he had misun-
derstood the City Engineer, to whom he
4 small sized cyclone started when the
question of removing wooden awnings
was again brought up. A. c. Burns and
B. ]. Smith had a wordy war over an
awning on the Burns property, adjoining
Smiths store. The Trustees were about
to rescind an ordinance adopted at a pre-
vious meeting by adopting an amendment
to allow all awnings considered safe to
stand Smith arose and asked if the
board was going to perform the great
snake act of swallowing itself. Smith
referred to Burns as my friend" Burns
denied the allegation and stated that he
associated with gentlemen. More words
followed, and whisky barrel" great big
loafer, bag of wind whisky bum
and other epithets were hurled. Presi-
dent Brick and Sergeant of Police Kamp
finally quelled the disturbance. The
board then decided to stand by its for
mer action and ordered all awnings down,
with the exception of those in front of
the Park Hotel and Water Works build
ing.
James Munro accused the board of
showing partiality. and said the reason
the Park Hotel and Water Works build
ing awnings were allowed to stand was
because there was $40 900 900 behind one
and SO, ,000,000 behind the other. President
Brick remarked that such talk was out
of order. Munro replied that it might be-
but it was the truth nevertheless Burns
said that the board was called honora-
BILE, but it had not acted honorably in
this matter Brick admitted that the or
dinance was unjust, but voted for it.

specific information upon some Of
these projects, viz:

in the western portion OF the city,
erecting school buildings and purchas-
ing school sites in the annexed dis

to know beyond a doubt before calling

NOW CALLED TIME

late Thomas Varney to-day once rooro
tried to bring their action against the
trustees of the estate to a. sac 80
speedily as possible. The suit came up be-
fore Judge Ogden to-day on motion for a
continuance. Attorney Goodfellow, on be-
half Of the trustees urging a continuance
for time to answer the complaint in in
tervention recently filed by Media King
through her father. w. B. King.
When Varney died in February. 1890 he
left an estate valued at about $500, 900. By
will he left several legacies TO be paid out
OF a trust fund. The devisees claim tnat
the annuities amount to at least $500 per
year. Now they ask that all the prop

ing the amount sufficient to pay the an
niiities, be distributed. They also charge
that the estate is not being properly man
aged to yield the best returns. Media
