Ford Votes Aaainst Mayor


In defense of his committee the mayor
stated that representatives of the brick
layers union had called on him and
had expressed themselves as pleased
with the names he had suggested and
that none Of them had demanded a
place on the committee for one of their
representatives.
When the confirmation of the mayors
committee was put to a vote, Houghton
and Ford voted against it. Ford eX-
planned that he voted mo" as the funds
In the treasury were growing low and
he believed the money could be better
expended. The action of Ford In vot-
ing against a measure desired by the
mayor came as a thunderbolt to the
council, as 1t is probably the first ac-
ton OF the kind on record. Ford repre-
sents the mayors ward and the two
have heretofore pulled together like a
team of well broken mules.
Where the money to pay this COM
mittee will come from still Is moot
question. In his address to the council
yesterday the mayor stated that as
that body had authorized him, q month
ago, TO appoint such a committee, the
council would OF course take care of
the expense. 1t was made in such q
sweetly insinuating tone Of voice that
only the hard hearts of the councilmen
could have resisted 1t, but resist they
did and said nothing ON this question,
although the mayor awaited several
minutes for an answer.
