Two Ordinances introduced
for Future Action.
Matter Of Giving Water to 7. ID. G.
A. Again Referred-To I'm
prove Chiffon College and
Billing Building.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Montgomery City Council held last night
was marked by an interesting discussion
OF paving taxes brought about by recent
decisions OF the courts, but no definite
action was taken.
The Council found a congestion Of
business that was removed by three
hours labor and application. The press
of business, which the Aldermen encoun-
tered, no doubt had "a bearing on the
Councils action later In the evening when
II adopted a resolution providing for
meeting every two weeks instead Of once
a month as has been the rule during the
summer months.
The resolution for a meeting Of the
Council every two weeks to begin at 1880
o'clock was presented by Alderman An
derson and was unanimously adopted.
President Fleming. Aldermen Toole.
Hartley. Roeder. Anderson. MyIntyre,
Rushton. Cheney. May. Haygood. Hud-
son, johnson and Gunter were present at
the meeting.
+ Y. M. c. A. Swimming Pool.
BY far the liveliest question which came
before the Aldermen was the ordinance
designed to give the Young Mems Chris
tian Association 1,0)0.ooo gallons of water
each qua. ter for Use In the Associations
swimming pool now in process Of con-
struction. A similar ordinance was pre-
sented at the last meeting of the Coun-
ell, but It failed to pass.
The ordinance which was presented last
night sought to appropriate as much as
one million gallons per quarter to swim
ming pools under certain regulations.
The restriction set forth In the ordinance
that the swimming pool should be under
control of a benevolent organization
uvhOsa yna he 70
respectable men and boys.
Before the clerk had read far into the
ordinance Alderman Kohn interposed an
objection.
Mr.. President he said, II rise to a
point of order. That ordinance or a SINH
lar one was defeated at the last meeting
of the Council Under no rule of par
liamentary proceedings should this ordi-
nance be brought before the Council at
this time do not think that the Coun-
Gil should take up its time with the ordi-
nance ana I insist upon my point of
order"
IT take issue with the Alderman" said
Alderman Rushton. II see no reason to
prevent the Council from the considera-
ton Of this ordinance. If there Is any
parliamentary rule to prevent its co ming
before the Council have not heard of
it. Certainly the right Of member to
introduce a bill, with notifications after
1t has been defeated, has been recognized
again and again in Congress"
Mr.. Rushton announced himself In
favor of the ordinance and spoke Of the
liberality Of George Foster Peabody. who
had given the swimming pool to the
Montgomery Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. He referred to the convenience
the pool would be to the men and boys
of Monte6 merry during the hot months
and said to refuse to give the water on
any alleged economical reasons would be
pushing a penny wise and pound foolish
policy.
Alderman May got into the debate by
making the point that the city mad o
right to give the water away. He had,
h. sain spoken to the City Artor ICY On
this matter and the City Attorney III d
told him that the city did not IA e y e
right 20 make the contribution. BE
therefore moved that the matter lie over
until the next meeting of the Council
Alderman Toole, who was presiding
temporarily. overruled the point of order
