ii was boisterous in any way, but there
seemed to exist some rivalry between
the aldermen and this was what made
1t Z ir Fnsting. Notwithstanding the
DISCUSSIONS and arguments of the alder
men the council transacted considerable
business.
Mayor Madden presided at the meet
ing and Aldermen Collins, Dolan, Dav-
idson, Dunn, Fitzpatrick, Kelly, Muir
ply, Mcdonnell and Talbot were pres
en.
The ball of liveliness was started roll
ing by City Attorney Boarman and
Alderman FITZPATRICK 1t was during
the discussion in regard to preparing
and printing the city ordinances. At
torney Boarman explained to the coun-
ell that if he was to be held responsible
fof any Irregularities in the compiling
ofthe ordinances he would ask that the
work be done under his supervision in
his office.
Alderman Fitzpatrick objected to
this, stating that the work would be
done and submitted to the city attor-
ney, and then if any irregularities We're
found that they be corrected.
II had a conversation with Attorney
Boarman," said Mr.. Fitzpatrick, land
me- tolu me lndt tne Work Woulu nave
toabe done in his office or he would not
take the responsibility of it. He would
have the work done at the legal rates,
which would be s1.05 per sheet while 1
can find somebody who is reliable and
experienced who will do the same work
for 40 cents a sheet
II don't remember ever having had
that conversation" said Attorney Boar
man, rising suddenly to his feet. Mr..
Fitzpatrick must have been dreaming
or something l don't want to make Il
single dollar out of this affair, All l
want is to have the work well done, for
if j am to be credited with 1t want to
be proud of it."
There was some more discussion on
the part of the other aldermen, and
finally it was decided to advertise for
bids for the typewriting and it was or
dered that it be mentioned in the ad-
vertisement that the work is to be done
in&Mr Boarman's office and under the
latters supervision
