Keller asked.
"The ordinance gives them full pro-
lection" Mr.. Farr responded View

they are fully compensated for any

The motion to refer for immediate
report was carried, without a division
being called, and the committee re-
tired. Mr.. Keller, its chairman, de-
clined TO serve, but allowed HIM
self to be persuaded to go out with
the other members of the commit
tee. Council finished it's business and
was idling about for fully ten minutes
before the committee came out

panied the report with a resolution
providing that the mayor, city solicit

property holders along the line of the
Improvement, with a view of amicably
adjusting the damage question.
The ordinance passed first reading
and council adjourned to meet again
next Thursday night to consider the
measure on second and third readings.
THAT HoSs DEAL AGAIN.
When the resolution directing the
city solicitor to take steps to recover
the six fire department horses ''ille-
gally sold" by the fire department
purchasing committee came before the
council, Mr. Paine, seconded by Mr..
Roche, moved to concur in the action
of select council. Mr.. Grier offered
as an amendment that it be referred
to its proper committee. Mr.. Keller
characterized this as a good deal of
gall" The proper committee would
be the fire department committee.
This is the committee accused of il
legal proceedings in connection with
the sale of the horses. Until this
committee purges itself of the charge
of irregularity il is hardly the body
TO pass upon the resolution, Mr.. Kel-
Ter said. The proposed reference was
for no other purpose, Mr. Keller al
legged, than to kill the resolution.
Mr.. Keller roundly scored the ac-
tion of the committee which sold the
horses. and commended the special
committee of select council which un-
earthed and exposed the transac-
ton.
Mr.. Grier withdrew his motion, and
offered as a substitute that the reso-
luton go to a special committee. Mr.
Paine wanted to have the resolution
concurred in first, and then an inves-
tigation conducted by a special COM
mittee. The Grier motion, however,
prevailed.
NJ. V. Morris, one OF the purchas-
ing committee, made the statement
that the members of the committee
who made the sale did so in the bes.
faith. Instead of paying the money
into the city 1t was hurried over to
Frank Cobb, to apply on the bill for
the eight new horses purchased from
him by direction of councils, the pur-
pose in this being to save interest
on the Cobb bill. The committee did
only what its predecessors had always
done, Mr.. Norris said.
