UP. Alderman Stiles suggested that the
mayor was busy man and that perhaps
the chairman OF the various aldermanic
| committees could run their own depart
ments. This caused the mayor to say
| that he was not craving for the work but
| that ne was willing to serve the citizens
| Alderman Meaghcr then offered an
| amendment to his motion adding the
| names of the charmen of the different
| committees interested but he quickly
withdrew 1t on the ground that two OF
| the chairmon were opposed TO the pur-
chase of coal from New York dealers.
| lie opposed the same amendment when
1t was again offered by Alderman Will
lard.
| The resolution finally stood rs orig
| ally offered, to the effect that the mayor
buy the coal in New York. The mo-
ton was carried by vote OF hve TO
| four. 1t was as follows;
Yes-Courtney, German, parkcr,
! Mcagher and Willard.
No-Coffey. Morgan. Reeves and stiles.
