 men F. J. Rice and filling. l The first business taken up at the
 regular meeting of the councilmen held
 last night was the report of the com
 mlttee on investigation into the super
 visory system in the city schools. Tip only one of the two reports submitted | by the committee which came before the councilmen was that signed by AL dermen Staub and Brennan and Coun- cilman Conlin, the other report having
 been tabled by the aldermen. The coun-
 cilmen accepted this paper as report
 and voted to concur with the aldermen to refer it to the board of finance to consider before making appropriation for the board of eduncation next fall.
 After the report had been read Coun-
 spoke in favor of sending it to the finance board, as did also Councilman
 Conlin.
 Councilman Dawson said that there
 was no doubt but that a large amount
 of money was wasted in running the city schools and he thought that the common council should have jurisdic- tion over the board of education. He favored concurrence. Mir. Tyner speak ing of the report said that he thought that supervisors were necessary in the schools. MT. Chase rose to speak and as he did so the previous question was called for. Mir Chase asked the privi- lege of the floor At first his request was refused, but finally it was decided to allow him to speak three minutes. { The vote on the motion to concur re- suited as follows: Ayes-Messrs. Hill- man, Bohn, O'Meara, Keane, Erff, Ma goohan, Cartier, Maroney, Maley Bur- ton, Conlin, Rowland, Gerner, M. Rice, Walsh, Holiday, Dawson, Casey, Doo- ildll, nduSCII-AU. INdyS-MSSSTS.

 Councilman Keane moved to recom- init to the street committee the matter of the paving of Temple street, between Chapel street and Congress avenue. The committee recommended an order for paving the street with brick and the aldermen passed it. A movement is said to be on foot in favor of asphalt and it Is said that an attempt will be made to substitute asphalt for streets ordered to be paved with brick. The motion to recommit the order for brick on Temple street was lost by a vote of 16--13, the members voting as follows: Nays Messrs. Hillman, Beecher, F. J. Rice, Mead, Burton, Tyner, Rowland, Gerner M. Rice AL ling, Dawson, Greenfield, Casey, Brad- ley, Barnes, Bohn-16.

Later In the meeting Councilman Burton moved to reconsider and Councilman Keane moved that vote on the motion be postponed until the next meeting. It was so voted
 The committee on appropriations re- ported an appropriation for brick pavement on Temple street through the green. After this report had been read F. J. Rice moved to adjourn. The ,hair did not recognize him and pro- ,eededNto state that the board favored asphalt but that the committee had 'eported an appropriation for brick. MT. Rice jumped to his feet and said that he chair was out of order that he had 10 right to instruct the board when 10 instructions were asked for. Coun- ilman filling also objected to Presi- lent Miller's remarks. MT. Rice again moved to adjourn and insisted that the notion be put. President Miller did lot yet put the motion but instructed he sheriff to have the member from he First ward (Mr. Rice) take his seat. 'everal members, including Councilmen 1illman, F. J. Rice, filling, Barnes and Irff, rose to leave the chamber but were revented from doing so by the city heriff. President Miller said that he bought that the committee on appro- riations should be instructed to send l recommendation for an appropria- ion for an asphalt pavement. MT. lice asked if the board could instruct
 committee as to what report it should ring in and President Miller said that could. MT. Rice then wanted to now what a committee was for. He insisted that his motion to adjourn be ut. The motion was put and declared )st on viva voce vote. The decision 'as doubted, but no rising vote was aken. MT. Chase presented resolu- on providing that the committee on appropriations be instructed to report n appropriation for asphalt through le green. The resolution was referred ) the committee.
 It was voted to recommit the order for 1e paving of Crown street with vitri- ed brick. Councilman filling, who ad voted in the affirmative, moved to consider and the chair declared his lotion out of order. The board then djourned. It is probable that a spe- al meeting will be called for next eek to finish up old business.
 The aldermen have voted for brick aving on Temple street through the 'een, while the councilmen have vot- for asphalt. President Miller ap- ointed Messrs. Cartier, Maroney and hase members of a conference com-
