GOOD WILL CO.
KNOCKED OUT.
The Council Voted to ReCog-
nize the Liberty as the
Fourth Company.
Sewers and Paving Considered

lhe GOOD VIII FIRE Company IS
down and out, so far as recogni-
tion from the present Town Coun-
Gil is concerned. The matter was
disposed OF so quickly that the
champions of its cause had scarcely
awakened to a realization Of what
was going on, and then it was all
over. The question as to which of
these two Companies was entitled
to recognition by the Council as
the regularly accepted fourth COM
pany of the town, is an old one,
many times renewed. Several
Councils have wrestled with it and
it has been before the Courts.
The action taken Monday night
administers quietus to the Good
Wills for at least a year, or until
another Council shall have been
elected. They may then make an
other attempt, but this repudiation
will serve to put them in bad
light for favorable consideration
from the next or any succeeding
Council
When the matter was taken up,
President Yetter, in order that the
Council might have some intorma-
ton regarding the action taken by
previous Councils, suggested that
the Secretary read from the min
utes.
In compliance, Secretary Quick
read from the minutes of the meet
ing of Dec. 5th, 1901, which
showed that on that date r. R.
John, Esq, had appeared before
the Council with request that the
Good Will Fire Co. be recognized
as No. d. That the matter was
discussed, and a motion made to
recognize the Company, having its
hose house on Leonard Street, as
Company No. 4, was carried, the
vote being q to 3.
From the minutes of June II,
1902, he read that a petition was
presented to Council asking theal
to recognize the Good Will Fire
Co. as the fourth Company of the
Town. A motion to recognize
them as No. a was lost by vote
of a to ?.
The minutes of the meeting held
July 10th, 1902, showed that Hon.
Grant Herring had appeared and
asked that the Good Wills be rec
ognized as the fourth Company OF
the Town. There was some dis
pute over the vote, but the Presi-
dent declared it carried.
AT this point Mr.. Magee queried
If it was proper to recognize Com
pany without charter. Mr.. Yet
ter replied that he knew of no OBJ
lection to it. That he had con.
versed with several members of the
various companies and told them
that he was in favor of the compa-
ny, whichever it was, that had
been recognized by previous Coun,
ellis. That he could allow nothing
to be done that would annul the
previous minutes.
To this Mr.. Magee responded
that the Master appointed by the
Court had decided in favor of the
recognition of the Good Wills as
Company No. 4.
This called forth a spirited ex-
preston of views, recriminate and
otherwise, between Mr.. Yetter and
Mr.. Magee, until the former with
drew from the discussion stating
that inasmuch as he was counsel for
one Of the companies, he did not
propose to preside or have any voice
in the vote. In the face of this
statement Mr.. Magee insisted that
Mr.. Yetter vacate the chair. The
