MAY BRING 1T UP AGAIN.
MAYOR DOES NOT CONSIDER THE

He Believes Some Member of Council
VIII Again Raise It-Says He De-
Iieves the Majority of the Board
Is Appreciative of the Need of a

Alderman Mills Thinks the Project
TO Buy the Garrard Tract Is Dead
and Will Not Be Resurrected.
Mayor Myers thinks it probable that
some member of the City Council will
again bring up the matter of a new GEM
etsry. Whether the Garrard tract will be
taken up again or some other site cham
piored is more than he could predict. He
has net been advised of the intention of
any member of The board to again bring
up the issue, but it is his opinion that it
will soon be heard from
The d-fcat of the effort to secure the
Garrard tract was the Mayor believes,
due to a lack of information. If the Alder
men had had more facts as to the land
before them. ne said he is sure the vote
would have been different.
Its fnaccessi Utility, the Mayor thinks,
is but minor objection to the Garrard
tract If it were to be used for came. cry
purposes, he is confident that satisfactory
railway arrangements coulj soon be
made. The advantage of other tracts in
already having street car facilities is not
regarded by the Mayer as sufficient to
make their claims fer the city's recogni-
tion stronger than those of the Garrard
tract
Alderman Haas was asked if it is his
purpose to bring up the question again.

Council had gagged" him, he said, and
he was not able to reply to the last words
of Alderman Tiedeman, who had closed
the debate with an argumeu Mt against the
purchase of the Gacrard tract. The motion
Of Alderman TieGeman had been to lay
the committees report on the table, mo-
lion that, under parliamen airy rules, al
mitted of no debate. He had risen, he said,
TO ask to be allowed 10 speak, but the
Mayor did not recognize him.
Alderman Tiedeman said he had
heard of no intention entertained by
any alderman to again bring up the c3me-
terry question. Mir Tisdeman felt relieved
by the result of the fight in Council as
he has be5n convinced that he purchase
of the GarTard tract by the city would
have been unwtse.
Alderman Mills believes the issue is
dead. He does not believe it will be rails
ed again, for some time at all events. The
vote of Council he declared, is precisely
in accord with pubic sentiment upon the
question, and he does not believe this
sentiment will be braVed by the resurrec-
ton of the project to purchase the Gar
rard tract. Reaching the cemetery, Mr..
Mills believes would be the prime OBJ
