| ton was urged by one of the aldermen
to the effect that the term of five years,
in view of the probable future of the
city, was too long and that it would be
iuadvisable to fasten such contract
upon 1t.
In both of these reasons find that a
very large number of the citizens, bus
ness men, and Taxpayers of the city,
and those who are to be either benefit
ed or prejudiced by said contract con-
cur.
Recognizing and respecting their
good judgment, in d. ference to their
expressed wishes, and feeling that
though I have acted under your in
struction I may have signed the con-
tract too hastily in not allow
ing our citizens most interested
in the same an opportunity to
discuss. weigh it's merits and dement's,
and advise upon the same, and believ-
ing that said contract is longer than it
ought to be. and that It should give
some guarantee of reduced rates to
private consumers, feel impelled to
and contract, and to urge upon you q
reconsideration of same.
1, therefore. rs I am empowered to
do by the city charter, veto the afOre
said resolution, and hold for naught
such action as has been taken there
under, and refer the matter back to
you. respectfully asking your further
deliberatiOn upon the same.

Withdraw from the contract, but all
seemed to believe that the mayor
would use his veto power before mid
night and the meeting therefore ad.
journed in the belief that success was
assured.
CONTRACT VETOED.
When Mayor Magoffin left the COM
mittee room just before five o'clock, it
seems that he had fully made up his
mind to act and to act quickly. In less
than an hour he had prepared the fol-
lowing message to the council:
To the city council of the City of Ell
Paso:
GENTLEMEN: In regard to the re-
solution passed at your meeting of the
18th instant, accepting the proposition
of the Ell Psso Gas, Electric Light &
Power company, at that time submit
ted, and empowering and instructing
me to enter into contract with said
company in behalf of the city. in &C.
cordance with said proposition, have
the honor to submit the following:
You will remember that at said meet
ing, and while said proposition was un-
der consideration, I objected to the
same because it did not provide for rea-
sonable rates, or in any manner guaran-
tee any reduction from the present
rates, to private consumers of light.
You will remember also another objec-

have set their hearts on an electric
railway. I doubt if under the face OF
the sun there exists such another In.
stance of the survival of the bob tail
car and bob tail mule, as is to be
found in Ell Paso today.
st looks as if you had deliberately
stopped progress for FIVE years and lei
out our choicest franchise and 1t seems
to me IT'S poor bargain for the city.
You may have your reasons, but we
can see 1no necessity for making this
contract at this time.
s'This committee would like 10 hear
your reasons, if you have any. and re.
port them back to the people who sent
US.
"The contract is dead unless you
nurse it back to life"
Alderman Burton:-Did l understand
tn at you have said that if we reconsider
our action White would have no action
for damages against the city?
Attorney ell:-Most emphatic
ally he would. not!
Col. Campbell had a few words to
say in his usual style.
81 believe you gentlemen did what
you thought was best for the city.
give you credit for that.

tiers. In my opinion Joe Magofin has
q perfect right to veto that contract
and believe he ought to do it,"
ONE BY ONE.
Alderman Clifford, was the
first among the aldermen to admit that
he was willing to rectify whatever
wrong had been done by the adoption
of the contract.
II thought at the time I voted that it
was for the benefit OF
the city," said he; "how-
ever do not wish to stand in the way
of progress and had 1 known what 1
now do I would never have cost my
vote as 1 did aud now I wish that l
could recall my vote" (applause).
job Drummer explained that he had
negotiated with the man from Hous-
ton and he wanted q ten year contract.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-02-01

He thought at the time he had done
we'll in closing the deal with the old
company, but was now willing to rec
tify the error If possible.
Alderman Scott:-I voted for the
contract thinking it agood:th for the
town. but do not want to stand in the
way of progress. However Iwant to be
fair to both parties and hope the mat
ter can be adjusted.
Several of the aldermen then asked
just what was necessary for them to do
to rectify the error.
Messrs. Campbell and Coldwell ex-
planned that the mayor could either
veto or the councilmen hold special
meeting and reconsider their action.
IRONCLAD CONTRACT.
M. Burton said he had been advised
by Judge Kemp that the contract was
ironclad and could not be molested.
Attorney COldwell said he was posi-
tive IS to the law and that nearly the
entire bar agreed with him.
Mr.. Burton then said he could sus-
tain any action that the mayor might
be induced to take.
fin:-When you asked me this
morning 1 hadn't consulted with the
and hadn't made up nv
mind. You seem to think Ell Paso is a
city like Denver or Chicago. You all
seem to be fighting on different issues.

Coldwell again explained VIII at the
people wanted.

public opinion. The public has risen
as one man. Be sure you are not wrong
before you brave the power OF public
sentiment!
Magofin: If we are willing to aunul
this contract the old rate of S12 will
have to be paid to the company for
each arc light.
Attorney Leigh Clark then explain
rather have no lights than to have
that octopus contract fastened upon
them.
M. Krakauer said the committee
wanted nothing at all-not even the
contract.
&c. Lyons called for the opinion of
Alderman Stewart, who had remained
silent.
He said, "Mr. White told us he
wanted to put up new wires and poles
and had been kept waiting three
months. That's one reason voted for
the contract.
Magoff1n left the room abruptly at
five o'clock saying he had an engage
ment.
SENSATION.
Hon. Felix Martinez, who was pres
emit and had been introduced by Attor-
ney Clark, here created no little SEN
sation by Offering to put up a s., 600
forfeit that he could establish within
six months plant that would furnish
Ell Paso with arc lamps at SO per
month and incandescent lights for 81
per month, each to burn all night, If
he could get five year contract.
His proposition was greeted with ap-
plause and referred to the council.
One of the aldermen said that the
mayor had intimated that he would
veto the contract.
Col Campbell proposed that a special
meeting of the council be held at eight
