VAUGHAN DOES NOT DESPAIR.
Believes the Ordinance He Helped to
Frame Will Pass.

Select Councimen Chittenden and
Vaughan, the fathers of the fire de-
partment reorganization ordinances
which were turned down by the fire
committee of select council on Thursday
night, are already preparing for the
fight which they are to make in that
branch of councils to have their meas
utes passed and the substitute ordin-
ance, to be introduced by the fire COM
mittee, killed.
Mr.. Chittenden was surprised at the
action of the committee and is rather
discouraged at the outlook, while Mr.
Vaughan, who is not at all astonisne1
at the committees action, believes that
the ordinance drawn up by Mr.. Chit
tenden and himself can be passed
1t is understood that the plan of
campaign will be to move next Thurs
day night when the substitute ordin-
ance is introduced that action on it be
postponed indefinitely and that the
ChittendenN Vaughan measure be
brought before the house. The vote
on this motion, which will undoubt-
edly be close, will show just how the
wind blows.
WELL" said Mr.. Vaughan last night,
see lney gave our ordinance twenty
minutes consideration. That's pretty
good. Yes, that's very good. This
schedule of permanent men arranged
by Mr.. Melvin and which is to be
drafted into a substitute ordinance is
very cleverly arranged, I must say.
ut gives pretty nearly every one
of the twenty-eight councilmen having
companies in their wards n new per-
manent man or two. ! suppose they
think that by this means they're going
to get 1t through councils. Well, |
think they're going to have a pretty
| tough fight. Much as the Century
| company in my wards needs new
| permanent man they're not going tc
| get me to vote for this measure be-
cause it provides for one"
Yes" said Mr. Chittenden, who
was standing by, 1.-THE only trouble
with our ordinance was that it saved
the city yearly expense of $4,000. II
certainly is a very foolish thing to in.
troducc any ordinance which provides
| for a reduction of expenses. This new
scheme provides for an additional cx.
| pense of $4,000 a year and is therefor,
considered favorably. We can't i'm
| prove existing conditions until we dis
band our volunteer companies"

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
William Morgan Tries New Method
of Tax Collecting.

William Morgan, of the Sixteenth
ward, was held in $500 bail last night
by Aldermane John 7. Howe on
charge of forging the name of TN
Collector Anthony Scanlon, of that
ward to a commitment. The facts in
the case are very peculiar.
1t appears that Morgan was depu-
tized by Scanlon to assist him in col
lecting taxes and it is alleged that
when the parties wouldn't pay up that
he would threaten them with arrest
and flash i'm their face a commitment
paper which he claimed was signed by
Scanlon. The prospect of spending
some time in the country jail isn't gen.
orally very enjoyable, so that by this
E.eahs, ii is claimed Morgan was en-
ahled to collect quite lot of taXC&.
Now, it must be understood that the
tax collectors have power to arrest de-
linquent taxpayers, but not to commit
them to the county Jail. This must
be done by an alderman. Morgan, it is
claimed sprung a signed commitment
on Louis Soloman yesterday, when the
latter refused to pay his tax for 1899
on account of his not yet havins ome
of age.
Soloman's father complained to the
police and Mounted officer Bloch. who
was dispatched to the scene, placed
Morgan under arrest.
AT last nights hearing Mr.. Scanlon
took the stand and testified that he
had never given Morgan any authority
to sign anything but receipts. He
stated that the signature on the COM
mitment blank, which was offered in
evidence, is a forgery.
Morgan said he had no intention of
taking Soloman to Jail. He was held
in $500 bail
