and Lancashire Company. The. letter was curt and gave the Aldermen to under, stand that the insurance company Iau temporized with the city as long as II intended and if settlement was desired pers. He said he insisted that the three quarter co-insurance clause should not operate in the settlement of the claims. FIeming motioned to Alderman TooIe. The Alderman from the Sixth Ward re- lieved the President and Alderman Elem ing went on the floor of the Council He izing the Select Committee to meet with the adjusters and resembling former m structions The resolution Was unani- mously adopted.
 Apparently the insurance discussion was completed and the Council went off into other business until near o'clock when Alderman Rushton announced that May or Joseph desired to address the body. The Mayor entered the Council Chamber, papers in bis hand. He adjusted his spectacles and began to read to the Coun- ell. He said that according to state ments made by The Advertiser in its report of the proceedings of the meet ing of the Council early in Januray Al defman Gunter had made remarks on the floor of the Council which did him-the Mayor-an injustice. He read from The Advertiser and said immediately after reading the newspaper article he ad- dressed d letter to Alderman Gunter which letter he read to the Council. lie requested Alderman Gunter in this letter to name his authority for the informa- tion which he had given to the Council to the effect that he-the Mayor-had not manifested proper interest in the set clement of the insurance claim. He also asked permission of Alderman Gunter to read the letter and its answer to the next meeting of the next Council.
 T have not received an answer to thls letter from Alderman Gunter, and now take the liberty of presenting my letter to the Council" said the Mayor in quiet voice.
 The Mayor went on to say that he knew nothing in connection with the adjust ment of the insurance on the Heron Street School building which warranted such criticism by Alderman Gunter. It was true ,the Mayor said. that he had appointed appraisers on behalf of the city soon after the fire. but he thought this was his duty. Soon after the appointment of the appraisers a joint committee was ton by Alderman Gunter. This, the Mayor said, took the matter out of his hands. He had not been asked to meet with the committee and he had promptly forwarded all communications bearing on the insurance question to the chairman of the Select Committee. Alderman Gun ter.
 When he had delivered himself of these remarks the Mayor retired to his office and resumed his seat in the doorway from which point he could listen to the delib- erations of the Aldermen.
 Alderman Guntcr arose quickly and spoke directly.

Notwithstanding 1t has been more than a month since the Heron Street school building was almost completely destroyed by fire, the claims of the city against the insurance companies have not yet been adjusted. The City Council reached A decision last night which gives promise of bringing the matter to settlement within few days.
 This decision was not reached by the Council. however. until President FieE- ing, for the first time in many months, resigned the Presidents chair tempora- rily to Alderman Toole and hiniself went on the floor of the Council to make a motion. This motion was in substance, that the Select Committee of the Council meet the insurance adjusters and ascer- tain the best terms of settlement that can be reached and that the previous in- structions to the Committee to insist upon $6, l6O in settlement of the claim be rescinded. The motion made by the President of the Council was unanimous ly adopted, ..,,,r-
 The question of the insurance contro-

versy claimed large share of the time. Quite the most interesting feature or the discussion was a statement from Mayor Joseph concerning the criticism made by Alderman Gunter at the last meeting or the Council concerning the oH1cial con- duct of Mayor Joseph in connection with the insurance claim. By consent the Mayor appeared upon the floor or the Council and made statement to whicn Alderman Gunter responded at some length. There was an undercurrent of bitterness in the toQes of both the Mayor and the Alderman, but neither transcend- ed the bounds of propriety-
 After the reports Of all standing com mittees had been received Alderman Gun ter, Chairman of the Select Committee, appointed to adjust the insurance claim, made verbal report for his Committee. He said the Committee was absolutely unable to reach a settlement with the insurance companies, the Connecticut Fire Insurance Company probably being excepted. After a conference with the representative of that company Alderman Gunter said 1t was possible this company would be willing to settle the claim on basis of SLIGO as the Council had tn- structed. The other two companies, the London and. Lancashire and the Western Assurance Company, would not settle ex- cept on the 75 per cent co-insurance plan. The matter stood, Alderman Gunter said. very much as though nothing at all had been done.
 Then Alderman Gunter went into con siderable detail concerning the cost of the building and its value. He said if the damage to the building was $6, ,160 the city ought to get that much from the insurance companies. He did not think. however, that the building was worth what it had been estimated. On the 10 per cent co-insurance plan the city would get S5.10O in settlement and he said he was unalterably opposed to this plan Of settlement. The Committee was unwil- fr md a Hnfflannanf the Council
 "The Committee is at arms length with the insurances companies" said Alder man Gunter, "and my personal opinion is that the best thing for the city to do is to enter suit on the policies"
 At the request of Alderman Toole, City Attorney Steiner appeared on the floor of the Council chamber. He said that he had been accustomed to advising the Council on questions of policy. and it seemed to him the matter before the Council was purely one of policy. It seemed to him, he said, that the city had a good suit against the insurance com panies.
 Alderman Kohn advised the Council fhat a compromise with the insurance companies might be better than entering a suit against thsm. He laid he thought it might be advisable to meet the insur- ance companies half way.
 With some sarcasm in hls voice Alder man Gunter said that since reference had been made to the suitability Of the insurance companies he would read let ter which he, as chairman of the Select Committee had received from the London
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-01-21

floor of this Council he said, was to. let the Mayor know that he was hands concerned"
 statement was made to the Council after he and another member of the Select Committee had received information that an act of the Mayor had htndered the committee in the settlement of the insur- ance claim. The Alderman then went into details of various conferences held with the Mayor and to visits paid by him to the office of the City Attorney He said that after the Select Committee had been named by the Council one of the ap- praisers for the city had been made by, the Mayor to feel that the appointment of the committe was a reflection up ,l the honesty of the appraiser and this had hindered the committee In adjusting the matter.
 finnter repeated the statement that hs arose to impress upon the Mayor and the Council that the insurance, matter had been taken out of the hands of the Mayor and was now in the hands of the Select Committee, Then Alderman Gunter sat down. t as ,
 Mayor Joseph came into the Council again, this time without invitation, and replied briefly to Alderman Gunter. The Mayor denied that he had conversed with any appraiser excepting Contractor Hug ger on the subject of the insurance since the Select Committee had been appointed. He had repeatedly and constantly. re- ferred all communications relating to the subject to the chairman of the commit tee, he had never had a conference with the insurance adjusters and he had been entirely consistent in the matter.
 'I have no further Statcmen. to make,' said Alderman Gunter, except to say that myself and another member of the cc mmittee were informed that hte con. versation between the Mayor and the appraiser took place after the matter had left the hands of the Mayor"
 This closed the incident and the Council resumed It's steady routine.
