MCINTYRE SUSTAINED
BUT COUNCIL WILL NEvERTHE-
 LESS OPEN A STREET.
Veto Approved hy Alderman Who Passed an Ordinance Appropri- ating Money for the Same
 Purpose.

The City Council of Montgomery at it's regular semi-monthly meeting last night practically set aside the veto of psoySi9ne for se or opens nG of McDonough Street to Clanton Street at a cost of $1 1,600, but maintained sem blance of reverence for the views of the Acting Mayor.
 The veto was sustained but the Council passed substitute ordinance for the original McDonough Street or dinance, in which sS,UVO Is appropri- ated for opening up South Lawrence Clanton Street
 Alderman Gunter, the author of this ordinance. said in his explanation that 1t conformed with the views of message said that 1t would be better to open both streets and pay for the property on the installment plan.
 Alderman Gupter's substitute pro- vides that the phyments for the prop erty to be acquired be made in year ly installments of $3,o00. It is we'll known, however, that Acting Mayor Mcintyre was opposed to any appro- priations for this work as he was of the opinion that the new street should have been donated by the property owners, whose property is improved by the opening of the streets.
 This opinion was expressed by AL derman Sullivan. who took a bold stand on the side of the Acting May or. He called the attention of the Council to the fact that W. H. Hub bard had donated lands for the open iEg of South Lawrence Street and ar gued that the McDonough Street prop erty owners should do the same. Everybody in the Council argued against Alderman Sullivan except AL derman Strauss, who said that he ob- tected solely on the ground that the Council should openly override the veto instead of doing so by covert methods.
 As scon as the substitute was adop- ted. the ordinance in it's new form was adopted. The veto of the Mayor to the old ordinance was then called up and Messrs. Sullivan and Strauss were the sole opponents.
 During the lengthy debate on his veto, Acting Mayor Mcintyre left his seat in the Council chamber and re- tired to the Mayors office, where he signed pay rolls.

 Alderman Sullivan wanted to know If tho ice company agreed to pay halt the expense,
 Alderman Maddox said that he did not know but 1t would do no harm to put the proposition to the company.
 Alderman Jackson asked why the

 Alderman Sullivan wanted more in formation and moved that the matter lay on the table until the next regular meeting. The motion prevailed.
