scheme to override Mayor Ber-

members of the city council, and its
execution was commenced at the
council meeting Monday night. The
plan is to hold over all paving petit

takes office next Friday night. The
pavement boomers believe that when
they get some new men in the council
they can muster enough votes to push

der and Wolf remain in the council
the people who are fighting Mayor
Bergundthal think that Hughes and

them the necessary nine votes to ride
down the veto.
THIS plan was set in operation last
night by Councilman Sinner and
Councilman Howe, who moved to re-
consider and lay on the table the reso-
luton for the paving of Twelfth street,
This resolution was passed last week
by only eight votes, and when the neAv
