that he brought the proxy with him
when he attended the meeting, and his
father wasn't then a proprietor
Mr. Hopkins read from the metrOpol-
itan act the clause that says the work
OF disturbing any cemetery il may be
necessary To take during the COnstTuc-
ton Of the reservoir shall be done un-
der regulations Of the board OF health
in the town where the cemetery is 10
Gated. This, he said, gave inferential-
~ clear authority TO the metropolitan
water board to proceed. In cOnclu-
sion, Mr.. Hopkins said that II the court
was Of the opinion that the proper
parties were not before the court, the
bill must be dismissed.
Mr.. Parker opened very eloquently.
He said that there was no shadow Of
excuse for dragging in the names Of
Mr.. Mcnamara, Mr.. Philbin and Mr..
Murphy in the unwarranted way pur-
sued By Mr.. Hopkins. Mr.. Parker then
said that the course pursued by these
men was the course Of good men who
did not wish 10 see their sacred dead
removed by strange hands. Martin
Murphy was the local undertaken, the
friend Of the dead. AS for Coughlin
and COOney, they were strangers and
aliens to the dead. For his part, Mr..
Parker could not treat the case with
equity. II dealt with things that from
the very birth OF time have been con-
sidered sacred.
Mr.. Parker read from the statutes
TO show that wherever the bylaws Of
a corporation set forth the place, time
and hour Of the annual meeting, that
nothing more is required and that a
meeting may be legally held because
such clause in the bylaws is con-
structively notice TO every member
Of the corporation.
The associates were proprietors in
the very instant that the corporation
acquired property. The organization
must be based upon joint ownership
in property OF else IL fell. The very ex-
istence Of the association was based
| upon the common ownership Of land.
Judge Hardy reserved his decision.
Something like three weeks ago the
men working on the new st. Johns
Cemetery association we're discharged
Pay to the amount Of nearly $1,000 was
owing to them. They are still waiting
for their money. Chief Engineer Har-
old Parker expects to be able to pay
the men, however. on Saturday, in the
office Of the St. Johns cemetery cor
/ pOratiOn. He has completed an ar
rangement with the metropolitan water
board who have advanced the money.
| The check was sent today to Bishop
| Thomas D. Beaver for his endorse
ment II is expected that it will De in
7 the hands Of Mr.. Parker again tomor-
| row. or early Saturday morning. The
| statement that the men will be paid
| Saturday is based uuOn this expe.ta-
| ton. If the bishop should not return
/ the check as early as this, the men viii
| have to wait a few hours longer.
| Manager AIcManus thinks it will be
| necessary to have q little shakeup be-
fore his base ball team will be all he
would like to have it. Come it slow
! or come it fast, it will be a shakeup
that comes at last. Mr.. McManus con-
| templates building an addition TO the
| seating capacity Of the bleachers. II
the games are to be as largely attend
ed as they have been. more room Is
needed. A game will be played Satur-
/ day afternoon.
