SALTY TALK IN THE ANN|STON COUNCIL Mayor kiIby lmpugns Motives
 of Aldermen HIS VETO IS INEFFECTIVE For Second Time the Council Passes Measure In Spite of the Mayor.
 Brokerage Concerns
 Involved.
HIS VETO IS INEFFECTIVE

Anniston. August 11.-(Special) )-Last night the City Council again overrode the wishes of Mayor kilby and passed an ordinance over his veto. The ordinance passed was the one introduced at the last meeting to regulate the business of brok- craze concerns. The ordinance provides for the keeping of book of transactions by each concern, and that this book should be open to inspection to an or ficial to be appointed by the mayor. Last night a communication was read from Mayor Kilby. who is spending some time at Atlantic City, stating that he felt 1t his duty to veto the ordinance. The communication, to use a vulgar expres- sion, was exceedingly salty.
 Smarting under the recent action of the council when another ordinance relative to license for brokerage concerns was passed over his veto. he took occasion to impugn the motives of majority of the council He stated that the ordinance had for it's purpose the shielding of viola tors of the law. rather than their detec- tion. He stated that it was useless to give reason for his veto, whether they be sound or unsound, as he had no asstr-
  tion referring to the fact that members voted to pass a former ordinance over his veto, after stating they had read his veto message. He citicized the council because of utter disregard, as he saw it. for the city charter, and concluded his message with these words:
 "A charter to guide us when 1t suits us and to be set asioe when 1t does not suit us, may as well be torn to r,ia the winds "
 This communication occasioned a warm reply from Councilman Blackmon. of the First ward He took exception to that portion which intimated that he had dis regarded the city charter or tried to shield violator of the law, and stated that Mayor Kilby would not tell him either as a councilman or a private indi- vidual that he had done so. He then moved the passage of the ordinance over the mayors veto.
 Councilman Cooper of the First wsS then recognized, and spoke in defense of Mayor Kilby's action. He said that he was looking at the matter from what he conceived to be a legal standpoint. but that if it became a moral issue he chal- lenged Councilman Blackmon to name ten men who would approve of his course over their signatures in the papers in the city. He also referred to card. said to have been published by MT. Blackmon shortly after his election, stating that he would represent the moral element of the city in the council. Councilman Lewis also spoke in defense of the mayor, aud MT. Blackmon stated that Mayor Kilby had made his attack on the council in his absence and probably knew when he sent the communication that he would not be present when it was read. The ordi- nance was then passed over the mayor s
