The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-03-09

There was no response: the directors
We're waiting to hear their written pro-
tests read. After waiting moment
ana seeing no one rise, Mayor Harring-
ton said There being no protests or
objections heard. a motion to adopt the
resolutions before the council is now in
order"
Still the DIRECTORS did not tumble but
kept their seats, while Alderman Pas
coe rose to inquire if the adoption of
the resolutions committed the council to
granite blocks and put change to
some other kind of pavement beyond
the councils control, he having been in
formed property owners in some of the
districts preferred vitrifed brick. The
mayor replied that the character of
pavement could be changed after the
adoption Of the present ones by the in
PRODUCTION of other resolutions repeal
ing them, but the same course
would have to be pursued. While
knowlton, Macarthur and Noyes inter
posed some further remarks the mayor
sat with immovable countenance, but
he was plainly uneasy lest SO much
time would be consumed that the OBJ
jectors would drop to the game, but
they dropped not, and a roll call was
ordered. Every member of the Is voted
aye on the resolutions and Mayor Har-
rington announced:
"A majority of the council having vot-
ed in favor of the resolutions declare
them adopted. and the city has ac-
auired jurisdiction to pave"
AS these words fell on the ears of his
listeners, sense of what had hap
pened came to S. V. Kemper, one of the
obJectors, and he arose to inquire what
action had been taken. Mayor Har-
rington Informed him that there having
been no objections the resolutions had
been adopted.
But l represent the owners of more
than so per cent of the property at
fected in some of the districts to be
paved, and we have filed objections"
said Mr.. kemper.
Your objections We're not made in
conformity with the law returned
Mayor Harrington, land as far as this
council Is concerned no objections were
made. The law requires that property
owners wishing to object must be pres
ent in person or by counsel and make
their objection before this body. You
had your opportunity, and it is now too
late"
But 1 was present" replied Mr..
Kemper
Yes, but you did not make your OBJ
lection" said the mayor.
We'll, we did not understand" said
Mr.. kemper, and l do not believe this
council desires to go directly contrary
~ viz " AsiiSS VI dli the DTUpelIN-DWnefS
VINO have filed objections. | think we
should have a chance to object
here Mayor Harrington read the law
on the subject. and remarked 1.-THE
law has been followed implicitly, and it
Is now too late for any objections"
There was no further attempt to pro-
test, and the directors sat still and
looked foolish to think of how they had
been tricked. Alderman knowltcn had
not been informed of the deal and he
too was fooled He arose to state he
dld not know he was voting on the
adoption of the resolutions. He was
given an opportunity to change his
vote, but decided not to do so.
J: H. Curtis was then given the floor,
ana proceeded to go after the "croak-
ers' in style that evidently met with
the approval of the council, as he was
warmly appauded.
AT the conclusion of the paving bust
ness, the light and building committee
reported favorably on the petition of
Pat Mullins for permission to erect a
hand-ball court on North Main street,
an ordinance amending the existing or
dlnance for the opening of Galena al
ley in block 81, was introduced and
passed under suspension of the rules,
and a committee consisting of the
senior member from each ward was an
pointed to locate polling booths for the
city election and the meeting ad-
journed.
