President McGowan Pptoried that ha
had been attending To business and added
that M didn't intend to vote for tho appro-
priation until h. knew more about II. Mr..
Metz threw y copy NJ the report toward the
President Of the Beard ~ Aldermen and
asked Mr.. MCGOWAN 10 read II at once 40
hat the granting. Of the appropriation
| might not be delayed. Mr.. Motiowan glanced
ut the document for a moment and then
repeated his objection, which meant that
under the rules the matter. would have to
lie over. .
Il call that a petty piece Of business
said Mr.. Metz.
II Is not petty business, am doing my
duty In looking after the citys business,
retorted MIR. MCGOWAN.
DO you think | am trying to steal any
thing from the city, was Mr. Metz's next
II Think Mr.. MCGOWAN started to
say when he was cut short by the Comp
troIler with: well, I don't care "A damn
what you think"
Mayor Mcclellan stopped further hostili-
ties by pounding his gavel, but a little later
when anot her appropriation was brought
up for discussion, one which was favored ny
MIR. MCGOWAN. the Comptroller objected,
and in loud voice said, I'll see that not
another damned thing Of yours goes through
if I can prevent it
Again the Mayor obtained order but
after the adjournment OF the board the
trouble began anew. When the recess
rraa anpp,annal the GnnlnfTO Her leaning
over the back of Mr.. Meow ans chair,
asked him il he would not read the report
in the luncheon hour 40 that IL could be
acted on at the afternoon session.
mo, | will not" Mr.. McGowan replied;
Il know how to conduct my business. and
| don't want any more interference from
you"
In a second the two men were believing
at each other with such vehemence as TO
bring into the room tn. loungers in the
You can't bulldoze me- shouted
Nobody is trying to-" the Comptroller
shouted back, glowering, at McGowan.
You are trying to hold me up on every.
and I'm going to let you know that l have
some powers here too.
Il won't be bulldozed," yelled MCGOWAN
again. Il won't vote for anything don't
understand and you can't force me into
doing II, eltner.
By this time there was a crowd around
the two men and in the crush they were
hustled apart. 1t was just as well, because
both were in a high state of rage and were
rapidly losing control Of themselves.
Charlie White, the well known, prize,
fight referee, was among those who listened
to the encounter. Il guess" he said, that
l had better wire to the Governor TO include
the Board of Estimate in his order to the
Sheriff against fighting. Anyway, | would
not like to referee this scrap, because neither
man IL in condition and the public would
call it a fake"
