The Second Branch laid the major
ity report on the table. The name OF
F. M. Milligan, deceased Councilman
from the Second ward, appeared in
the majority report.
In the First Branch, Nj. Knoke
wanted to offer the majority report
as a substitute. and move its adop-
ton. 1t was represented to him that
the proper method would be to ask
for a committee of conference. Mr..
Otto said the proper place to give no.
tice of a minority report would have
been in the committee meeting. He
moved to substitute the names in the
majority report, wherever they con-
flicted with names in the minority re-
port.
Mr.. Waterhouse took the floor, and
prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that he was a member of the
Committee of One Hundred. He said
he objected to the personnel Of three
committee. There were a number OF
Councilmen who were eager TO get on
the committee on ordinances, and he
prepared a new list which contained
names of members who were not
anxious to get on. He objected to the
committee on equalization and appeals
because several members were not
competent. He objected to the COM
mittee on petitions and remonstrances
because he thought there should be
no saloon keepers on it. Then he also
objected because DR.. Haskins had
been placed upon such a small number
of committees.
This brought Mr.. Knoke to his
feet with the statement that DR. Has
kins had not been placed on commit
tees because of the fact that he did
net have time to serve
Mr.. Otto's motion was adopted.
The Second Branch refused to con-
cur, and a conference committee was
appointed, consisting of Weisgerber,
Killeen and Marshall, from the Second
Branch, and Otto, Hamilton and
Waterhouse from the First Branch.
AS it was impossible for the commit
tee to agree last night, both branches
adjourned after the tables were
cleared.

port of City Clerk O'Brien- II also
