MUCH BUSINESS DONE. TOO

With dispatch that was remarkable for the Montgomery City Council, a big batch of important work was dis posed of by that body at it's regular semi monthly meeting last night and the Aldermen adjourned before the hands of the council clock pointed to 9:30.
 Maybe the performance of the ele- ments caused the Aldermen to hurry back to their firesides. Maybe the rain put a damper on their eloquence.
 Alderman Jackson explained the phenomenal performance of adjourning at s:30 o'clock by saying that both Alderman Sullivan and Alderman Forbes had bad colds.
 Alderman Kohn explained it by say ing that the Councilmen were saving their oratory for the open meeting of the ohicebuilding committee, whicn he announced for tonight at T:3o o'clock at which time. every one will be given an opportunity to speak.
 The Aldermen were proud of the rec ord breaking meeting.
 Paving matters and appropriations were passed with such rapidity that precipitation poured from the brow of the overworked acting City Clerk, John Farley. The men. at the press table found difficulty in keeping up with the proceedings.
 Alderman Sullivan made the only speech of the evening and that was a short one and remarkable to relate he cast the only dissenting vote.
 President Mcintyre called the meet ing to order at 8 o'clock with the following Aldermen present: Gunter, Kohn. Forbes, Jackson, Teague, Lob man. Roemsr., Grifith, Sullivan. Thomp- son. Coins. Maddox and Strauss.
