siderable Discussion.

OF business which has accumulated and
which was not acted upon at the last
regular meeting owing to an early ad-
]ournment. Among the matters acted
upon was the resolution directing the
board of finance to include in the appro.
priations $500 to pay the salary of q
stenographer for City Clerk Norris
This resolution was vetoed by the
mayor and the aldermen passed it over
the veto. An attempt to pass it over
the veto by the councilmen last night
failed.
Phe bills Of the general registrars
We're referred to a special committee in
concurrence with orders to report at the
next regular meeting. Councilman Ty
ner said that several persons had
spoken to him concerning the legality
Of these bills and he suggested that the
special committee consult with the
corporation counsel. The following
resolution was presented by Councilman
Conlin:
Resolved. That the joint committee
appointed by the court of common
council for the purpose of inviting Ad-
miral Dewey to visit our city be and is
| hereby instructed to again invite the
admiral to visit our city and be it fur
| Their resolved that if the citizens who
have heretofore acted with the commit
tee do not desire to act. the committee
of the court of common council act
without them
Councilman Alling moved that unani-
nous consent be given for consideration

the Dewey committee Of the common

| A resolution offered by Alderman
Dickerman providing that permission
| be given the Fair Haven and Westvilla
Railroad company to lay a crossover
track at Dayton street on condition of
giving a fifteen minute schedule on the
Edgewood avenue line and twelve
minute schedule on the line between the
Westville postoffice and the Pond Lily
works came up for action. The coun-
cilmen from the Thirteenth ward stated
that the president of the road had sig
nified his willingness to give the
schedules asked for if the road was
permitted 20 build a crossover at the
point indicated in the resolution. Coun-
Gilman Chase thought that the matter
should go to the committee on railroads
and bridges. He said that he would re
fuse unanimous consent to passage o.
the resolution last night Councilman
Walsh thought that since the arrange
ment asked for was satisfactory to the
people of the Thirteenth ward the reso-
luton should be passed at once
IL
members from the Thirteenth had OBJ
structed a railroad matter in which he
was Interested If the railroad COM
pany was to be dickered with in any
part of the city he would like to have
ii dfckered with in matters in which he
was interested.
Councilman Rice, in view of the op-
position, moved that the matter be le-
ferred to the committee on railroads
and bridges with instructions to report
at the next meeting. The gentlemen
from Westville again asked that aJr.
Chase withdraw his objection, saying
that they acted under a misapprehen-
sion when some time ago they voted
against railroad matter in which lie
was interested.
Mr.. Chase said that he was satisfied
that the COMMON council made mis-
take in the Derby avenue bridge mat
ter and had don't it to twist the tail of
the railroad company. The resolution
was referred to the committee.
The mayors veto of the order for the
appropriation of money to pay stem
ographer for the city clerk was report
ed and the communication stating the
cause of the veto. already published
was read.
Mr. Chase moved that hte matter be
referred to the corpora ton counsel
Councilman Conlin amended to pass the
order, the mayors veto notwithstand-
ing. The order provides that the board
of finance shall appropriate the sum
needed to pay stenographer for the
city clerk and the mayor in his com
munication holds that the common
council has no power to obstruct or d.
rect the board of finance in such mat
tiers, referring to section 100 of the |
charter.
Councilman Tyner spoke in favor of |
sustaining the veto Mr.. Conlin |
thought that the common council had |
a right to authorize the hiring of a |
Mr.. Alling moved to ad- |
here, the veto Notwithstanding An aye |
and nay vote was taken and resulted |
in % for adherence and Q against. The
chairman announced that a two thirds |
vote had not been secured, the veto is |
sustained Mr. Chase then moved to
refer the matter to the corporation |
but he was informed that such
action would be of no avail since the
veto had been sustained Councilman
Rowland moved to reconsider the vote
on the veto. The chair decided that it
was useless to put the motion to re-
as 81 votes were required for
reconsideration and there were only 81
present some of whom were
doubtless opposed to reconsideration.
A resolution was introduced to in
struct the director of public works to
have the Grand avenue drawbridge OPP
sned for sharpies Unanimous consent
was granted and the resolution was
