THE FERTILIZER AGREEMENT.


The next document on the, desk was
the agreement between the United
States Fertilizer Company, and the
Natural Gas Company of Yves; Virgin

party. The agreement. which was in
printed form, similar to an. ordinance.

The features OF the agreement apply

ed provoked some inquiries and discus
Sion. Mr.. Miller raised the point that
the city couldn't fix the price for the
Gas the company should charge the fer
t!lzer company. City Solicitor 5Nesbltt
was called In and gave lucid explana-
ton OF the agreements provisions re-
gardlng the cltY's connection with the
Gas company. Under an agreement
made in 1892. the gas company furnish
ed free gas for the crematory, and the
gas company agrees to furnish 10000
cubic feet daily TO the fertilizer COM
pany, provided It Is released from It's
agreement with the city. Then there are
provisions In cases Of breal-downs. The
various details were rather foggy to
some members who hadn't been in touch
with the negotiations, consequently the
city solicitors opinion was bread upon
the waters. The questions asked him
We're more or less amusing.
The agreement was finally adopted
unanimously by the second branch. The
only change made was the increase in
salary OF the two men the fertilizer
company Is to employ.

consequently the first had to stop then
and there with a batch OF unfinished
business on Its table.
The business transacted included the
adoption OF all agreement With the Uni
ted States Fertilizer Company to de-
stroy the city's garbage, the grant of
about one hundred liquor licenses and
the rejection OF the Angie Strong peti-'
ton, and the presentation or y petition
by the Peoples Railway Company
The second branch passed onEn, lot of
bills, but adjourned before they were
taken up BY the first, so they Will lay
over until the next meeting OF council.
The motion to adjourn In the second
branch was evidently adopted without
due consideration. The first branch
was indignant over the matter, but
President Maxwell maintained that the
first could have proceeded With the
business sent to 1t. There was differ
ence Of opinion about 1t, and City So!!c-
!tor Nesbitt was unable to decide def
nItely al that stage.
Mr.. Healy was elected to the chair In
the second branch, owing to the alb
sence OF President Maxwell, who arrived
later, however. Mr.. Healy had his
troubles. a number OF the councilmen
didn't understand the fertilizer agree
ment's provisions very well, and their
questions led to a discussion, which was
very vague at Intervals. Then the An
sic Strong petition provoked score OF
motions and amendments, and those
against the petition inadvertently
moved to grant 1t. They got In their
work though, by passing motion to
reconsider their former vote.
The first branch concurred In oil bust
ness It had time to consider, but the
fertilizer agreement only received eight
votes In It's favor to five against, which
not being two-thirds vote as requir-
ed. necessitated Its postponement until
the next meeting. The directors wanted
more liberal supply OF gas FOR the Gre
matory from the gas company. A mo-
ton to reconsider prevailed, and the
