The report of the committee on com
mittees came up first in the first branch
and was objected 10 by Mr.. WaterhouSe,
the Democratic leader, who claimed the
Democrats had not been fairly treated.
| For instance. he said, all of the COM
| mittee on wharves are members OF the
second branch, and he and Mr.. Bach
mann and Mr.. Maxwell desired TO be on
that committee.
II beg your pardon" said Mr.. Max
well, soto voce, he second branch
president being at the time a first
branch spectator.
In the second branch, a motion was
made to substitute Scheehla for Zeigler
on the wharveS committee. In this
connection, President Maxwell express
ed his doubt that the committee on
committees had followed the rules Of
| council In casting the wharves commit
tee. At Mr.. MaXwelrs suggestion. the
ordinance bearing on the. subject was
produced. and 1t was found the commit
tee on wharves must legally be compos-
ed of equal representation from each

sent the committee on committees re-
port back TO it for revision Immediately.
