Ruthless Majority of City
 Council Acts.
Mayor Joseph Authorized to Pay $s,ooo to J. c. Carter for Pit Four Miles From
 the City.

After denial of the courtesies of the floor of the Council to Mayor-eIect Thom- as H. Carr by the single objection of a representative of the majority, and with the filing of a burning protest by a rep resentative of the minority, the resolu- ton to purchase the gravel pit of J. c. Carter for $s,00O, passed the City Council last night.
 These were the sensAtional features of very lively session of the Council.
 It is understood that Mayor-elect Carr, who will assume the duties of Chief Ex- ecutive of the city in October, objected to the purchase of the gravel pit at the price named. It was proposed to have MT. Carr address the Council on the resolution, concerning a matter, which with other affairs of the city. he has already investigated.
 MT. Roeder Objected.
 Alderman Roeder who was floor man ager for the resolution, objected to the extension of the floor courtesies to Mir. Carr. One objection was sufficient. Mir. Roeders objectioe called forth an eloquent protest from Alderman Kohn who declared that the advocates of the resolution were showing through the Council a measure upon which they were afraid to have the light of day turned Alderman Toole declared that the pro- test of Alderman Kohn was not couched in language which was respectful to the Council.
 Council not to pass the resolution and pay what he said was such an enormous price for the gravel pit.
 It was altogether a lively incident. The checkered career of the gravel pit prop | osition ended In strife and dissension The minority broke its passage with i'll grace. It was announced that an att lar meeting sf the Council to have the vote by which the resolution was adopt. | ed, reconsidered.
 Pending Some Time. The proposition for the purchase Of a gravel pit by the city has been before the Council for the past six months. Whenever it appear el it never failed to bring discord with 1t.
 It came up last night in the form of a resolution reported from the Special Committee on Gravel Pit of which AL derman Roeder is chairman. The report of Alderman Roeder recommended the adoption of an accompanying resolution which instructed the Mayor to contract for the purchase of the gravel pit of J. c. Carter for $500, provided the titles were good.
 Alderman Gunter, at this juncture, call cd attention to the presence of Hon. Thomas H. Carr. Mayor-elect.
 "He always talks interestingly on any subject" said MT. Gunter, "and this question which Is now before the Coun- ell Is one of vital interest to the city. move that the courtesies of the floor be extended Mir.
