COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE
OVER MAYORS VETO
Two City Fathers Attack MeAleers
Refusal to Sign Measure, Saying
His Course Would Prevent
Union Depot

In spite of the mayors veto the coun-
cll Yesterday passed the ordinance
abandoning that portion of Fifth street
between Central avenue and the Arcade
depot and giving It to the Southern
Pacific.
When the mayors veto message was
read Councilman Smith was the first
on his feet. 1t is one of Smiths pas
times to move that ordinances be
Veto
This looks like some more of Nc
Aleer's business administration" said
councilman Smith with fine sarcasm In
his tone. Here the people of the city
have been demanding union depot for
years.
"1'he Southern Pacific and other rail-
roads offer to give 1t to them, but in or =
der to effect this purpose ask that a
portion of Fifth street, which is utterly
useless now except as an approach to
the depot, be abandoned and revert to
the abutting property.
"McAleer has made certain demands
on the railroads which propose to build
the union depot, which they cannot
comply with and retain full title to
their property and because they will
not accede to his demands. McAleer
would block the plans for a union depot.
Fine business administration
What the Southern Pacific proposes
TO do is equal to full deed to the
strip of land demanded by the mayor,
as far as the city Is concerned" con-
tinued Mr.. Smith. 1.-The railroads want
to retain control of the property and 1t
is perfectly right they should. I move
that the ordinance be passed, notwith-
standing the mayors Veto"
Houghton was quick to second the
motion, and indorsed Mr. Smiths ideas
both as to the union depot and the busi-
ness administration of the mayor.
The ordinance was passed by seven
votes, no one voting in the negative.
