The bill OF the hospital-$55- care
OF Shick-was laid on the table.
The resolutions on number and
salary of police which had been
vetoed by the mayor, were taken up,
An attempt to pass them over the
mayors veto failed, Alderman Lane,
Moeelein and Mecusker voting nay,
and the opposition did not have the
necessary two-thirds.
Aid. Martin, with a laudable de.
sire to learn, asked the mayor for in.
formation on certain matters, which
the executive furnished. During the
discussiotf'the alderman practically
admitted that his reason for irving
to cut the clerks salary was because
the clerk is a friend of the mayor. 1t
appeared that several other &C.
tlons OF the alderman were governed
by equally as high motives. The
mayor said he did not particu larly
care to argue or jangle over the ques.
tions, but if the alderman was 80 de.
sirious of talking, he (the mayor)
would gladly hire the opera house
and give him or anyone he selected
all the time he desired, the executive
to have half an hour. The PROPOSE.
tion was not accepted.
