every man was there to vote according to his conscience and not to please other people.
 Chairman Hall wanted to know how this recommendation had passed with out any opposition before the mayor had vetoed it. Alderman Mahaney said he never voted to pay the bill. He was not there the night it passed, and besides that the members learned q good deal about it since that was not known at that time.
 Alderman Boylan wanted to know why it would not be we'll to try the merits of the case in the courts now instead of waiting to sue the brewery people, Isn't it a peculiar way of doing business" he said, ito hand and begin to fight someone else in tic hope of getting it back? MT Walker, I don't like to doubt your word, but you must have had a lot of stock in that Store."
 MT Walker: 'sI had, and if you come over there now I'll show you just as much now"
 The question was finally put to vote and was carried. The vote stood as follows: Yes, Aldermen Hall, White, Blakeslee, Goss, Cross, Callan, Walker, Chesson, Kane, Tyrrell; no, Aldermen Phelan, Foley, Morris, Mahaney, Boy lan
 When the fight was over Alderman Mahaney wanted to know if Mir Walk CT had right to vote on that question. He said that there are boards where a member is disqualified from acting when his own personal case is under consideration and he didn't know but it might apply to the aldermen. MT Hall said he knew of no reason why MT Walker had not the right to vote on the question the same as other meil- bers of the board.
