floor and after speaking in defense ot
the concern. got into warmer discus
sion with Alderman large Eckert,
when that gentleman contended that
the resolution introduced had decep.
tive motive to cheat the city. Mr..
Edgar wanted to know why the city
would not sell nothing for something,
for such was the case in this matter
when it has already been admitted
they have no title to the property.
Mr.. Eckert attempted to explain and
DIR. Ramsay got a few questions in
when Mr.. Eckert began to talk about
a decision of Judge Beasely.
1t had been contended during the
discussion that at the expiration OF
the lease the city was bound to give
another lease for ninety y-nine years
and so on for an unlimited time and
the discussion hinged on this point.
Mr.. Eckert cited a decision of the
supreme court in which it was decid-
ed that such contract was not bind
ing. Mr.. Edgar also recalled the
same decision in which he said the
contract was not for a money con-
sideration.
Postmaster Geo. Fl. Tice said he
came to be enlightened and in his
speech he declared he was satisfied
that the city certainly had an equity
in the property.
Cortlandt Parker Jr., then took the
floor and explained that it was not a
matter that any one present could
decide and, in answer to Mr.. Eckert,
he said there was no attempt on the
part of any one to deceive the city.
Cortending that it was matter for
the highest tribunal of the State the
Chancellor Court to decide, every
one interested had the same right to
present the facts connected with the
case and that no deception could be
made there. He asked that the resolu-
tion be passed, that the matter may
be cleared up.
