firmed
The confirmation of the nomination Of
Clinton L. White by the Mayor, to in
vestigate the sale of the bonds by the
Funded Debt Commission, excited some
discussion. 1t being asked why the
con mittee appointed by the Board did
not look after the bill abolishing the
! commission.
Trustee Tebbets stated that as Grove
L. Johnson had stated he was very
busy, but would look after the bill as
far as possible, he had recommended
that the Mayor appoint some attorney
to look into the matter and it had been
done.
| On motion of Trustee Devine, the con-
flrmation was deferred until next Mon
day night
| Trustee Devine moved that it be the
sense of the board that Mr.. Johnson
and the other representatives be re-
Quested to use their best endeavors 10
have the bill passed at this session.
| Mckay and Devine opposed the
amendment continuing the commission
till next January They wanted II
wiped out Immediately
| Trustee Dolan said that the bill would
not have been reported favorably If the
amendment had not been agreed to.
Devine's motion was carried.
| LIVERY LICENSE.
Mr. Grafmiller for the livery men,
asked what the board proposed to do
in regard to the petition for repeal of
the livery license. He said that they
paid their money, but the ordinance is
not enforced and other people who rent
hcrses are not forced to pay license, so
the livery men have no protection.
| Trustee Kent said that on such occa-
SONS as Fourth of July the livery men
expected to make money out of their
horses, but outsiders come in and rent
horses to those who want them. He
did not know how it could be .remed.ed,
as every way had been tried.
Mr. Grafmiller said that there are
more horses hired out by private par
ties in this city than are rented out by
|
a quarter.
| Trustee Tebbets moved that the Cor
porat;on Counsel be instructed to draw
up an ordinance repeating the livery
| license.
Trustees Dolan and Devine opposed
the notion as the grocers and all others
| would ask to have their licenses re-
mitted and the city would lose much
| %
cial legislation.
The matter was referred to a COM
mittee of three, consisting of Dolan, De-
vine and Tebbets, to confer with the
Corporation Counsel.
