The city dispensary ordnance viii pass
on schedule time" This remark was fire.
quenty repeated yesterday by the friends
of the ordinance By schedule time is
meant Aug. 10, the date fixed in the or
dinance for the terminal on Of the terms
of the present monuments at the dispen-
sary.
The indications are that these predictions
will be fulfilled. Aldermen Mills and
Graham left yesterday on their summer
vacations, to be absent for some time.
This leaves only three opponents of the
ordinance i'm the city, Aldermen Thomas,
Tiedeman and farrell OF the other five
aldermen in the city Jnree, Aldermen Dix
on, Bacon and Doyle have declared them
selves in favor of the ordinance. Alder
man Williams has stated his intention Of
supporting it conditionally, and II was
claimed yesterday that Alderman Schwarz
had given assurances Of his support When
seen at his bakery on West Broad street.
Alderman Schwarz denied the report that
he had stated he would vote for the Or
dinance.
Il have nothing to say now" said Al
derman SchWarZ. 81 VIII be ready to vote
when the time comes / wanted TO wait
for Mr.. Myers, anyway, and hear what
he had to say"
Alderman Schwarz would not say how
he intends to vote, but he intimated pretCy
strongly that Mayor Myers view of the
subject would have considerable influence
with him.
There has been good deal said about
my not being present at the meeting last
week that Is not true" said Alderman
Schwarz. Il had no desire 10 keep away
from the meeting. Ny work was in just
such a state that I couldn't get away. 1

ton as any one on the board, having been
in Council the greater part of the time
since 1889, part of the time as chairman
of the sanitary board. I have looked into
this claim IS to the economical manage
ment of the dispensary and have my own
opinion on the subject"
Alderman Schwarz declined to say how
ever, what conclusion he had come to IN
the matter.
The meeting Wednesday having been an
adjourned meeting there viii be a regular
meeting next Wednesday. which Is Aug.
8. 1t is anticipated thar the ordinance
will be taken up and probably passed al
that time, which, would verify the pre-
dictions of the partisans to the effect that
it win pass on schedule time 1t is pos
sible that il may be taken up earlier.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that there
will probably be a meeting of the COM
mittee of the whole Monday or Tuesday
" tpllStleI various questions TeIeIEeN 10
that body. 1t viii be q very simple mat
ter to convert the committee of the whole
meeting into a session Of Council when
the ordinance could be taken up at once
it having already passed its second read
ing.
The ordinance could have been passed
yesterday" said Mayor Myers The vote
would have been a tie, and l being in the
chair would have cast the dec ding vote in
its favor. 1t was thought best, however,
to lay il upon the tab'e It can be called
up now at any time and passed. With a
fun meeting of the board the ordinance
would have passed easily. as Aldermen
Wells and Haas, who were absent, would
have voted in favor Of it,"
Mayor Myers is of he opinion that had
he been in the city the ordinance would
have gone through Without difficulty in
the first instance. Had the question been
properly puC before some of the aldermen
who opposed 1t, and who did not care to
reUede from their position after having
taken stand against it, he thinks they
would have voted for 1t at once.
