PAY OF POLICEMEN
OFFICERS FEAR VETO OF MAYOR
 LYONS.
Mobile Fire Fighters and Law Gunrdi- ans Dubious About Raise In Pay Granted Them by
 General Council.
Advertiser Rureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, Jan. 16.
 "will Mayor Pat J Lyons veto the Berney resolution. adopted by more than a two-thirds vote of the General Council increasing the pay of firemen and policemen and officers of the two departments, barring tho ehiefs?" was the speculative question this morning. The question was principally dis cussed in firt and police department circles, the ones most interested. From time to time, whenever an Increase in salaries would be broached in the General Council. those opposing the movement would invariably use the ar guments, We're already heavily in debt" and Where Is the money to come from?"
 Last nights vote. 2 to 4, in favor of the Berney resolution and carried then only after two efforts were ma de to defer action. The vote throughout was tho same. those opposing the in- crease being chairman Lyons. Alder man kirkbride and Councilman Hale and Carrell
 One amusing incident during the fight was the suggestion of Chairman Lyons, who had called Alderman H. T. Inge to the chair and had taken the floor. Chairman Lyons put the sug- gestIon in the shape of a motion to defer until April 15. Aldermen Der ney, who is one of the retiring mcm- bers and father of the resolution. quickly replied. Some of us will not be here then to Note." This retort evoked a ripple of laughter among the spectators.

MONTGOMERY ALDERMEN DISPOSED
 OF MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS
FOR SCHOOL BONDS
CITY COUNCIL TAKES STEPS TO
 ISSUE THEM.
After Delay of . Year, Measure Is Introduced Providing for An Election On An Important
 Matter.

After a years delay. steps are now finally under way for the issuance of $75.000 school bonds by the city. which was originally decided upon in June, 1905. In that time, one set of bonds has been issued, purchased and deliv- cred to the buyer. only to be rejected. when found to be illegal.
 At the meeting of the City Council last night. an ordinance was introduced and referred to committes for con- sideration at a future meeting, provid- ing for the calling of special elect ion to decide upon the question of is- suing bonds. This measure. it is un- derstood, will be passed without opposi- ton, as soon as reported back to the Council. when the announcement of the date set for the election will be given out, and the voting held over again.
 It will be remembered that accord ing to the original ordinance, the bonds were to have borne interest from date proceeding that on which they were issued. The bonds were purchased by the Fourth National Bank. but upon advice of counsel. when they were de- livered, the bank refused to accept them, stating that owing to the inter- est bearing date specified in the ordi- nance and the date when issued, they were not legally issued, and therefore invalid.
 Investigation of the matter by City Attorney Mcintyre resulted 10 that off, cial recommending a new issne of bonds. to relieve the possibility of any future law suit. The ordinance of last night provided for the proper adver- tising of the election to decide upon the question of issuing them.

In the failure of Josiah Morris and Company's bank, six years ago, to set- tie all claims of the city against them for $12,000, hung fire in the City Coun- ell last night. and will not be decided until later meeting of that body.
 Notwithstanding the fact that it was the desire of the Mayor, and of the FL nance Committee that the matter be disposed of last night. immediate act lon was prevented by a refusal of AI- derman Roemer to grant a suspension ol the rules for that purpose, and the matter, warmly debated last night. will nave 70 come up in the regular order or the Council proceedings at inc nevt or some future meeting.

 Alderman Gunter said he believed the bondsmen were responsible for the full amount of the city's claims. It was a matter, however, which would be con- tested in the courts, with a possibility that the city would lose it's case en- firely. He advocated the adoption of the resolution.
 Alderman J. c. Tyson again obpected. urging that the courts had insured the city for $S.500 and he believed fin fight ing in the courts for the remainder due the city.
 Alderman Lobman asked for a suspen- sion of the rules to vote upon the mat ter, but Aldermen Roemer objected, and the matter was laid on the table to come up at a subsequent meeting.
