when the city owns good site now?"
Alderman Hall-"The hospital ought
to be within the fire limits or in reach

Chairman Pro Tenn. Miller at this
point called Alderman j. j. Walsh to
he chair and took his seat upon the
loor. He then started to speak upon
he motion, but Aldermen Hall and
Moyle raised the point of order that the
notion to reconsider was not debatable.
Mr.. Miller said that members had al
eady been permitted to speak upon the
notion and he thought that others
should be allowed the same privilege.
The point was pressed and Mr.. Miller
esumed the chair. He said that he
lad desired to make some statements
n regard to what was back of the bill
low before the legislature but since the
Joint of order was pressed he felt that
t must be we'll taken. A vote was then
aiken and the motion to reconsider fail

anthony Carroll was then read:
