Mayor Becker Wakes I'M
patient at Kane's Oh
structive Methods.
N EXITING IS STORMY
Robertsdale Sewer and Water Sup
ply Create Acrid Discussion.
Contracts Awarded.

1t was decidedly warm in the Ham
moRd city council chamber last night
and the warmest places there were
under the collars of Mayor Becker
an Councilman Kane 1t could hard
iy be called a set-to because the may
or and alderman did not mix, but
there was certainly a tilt between
the two that at one time looked
rather serious.
Mayor Becker was anxious to dis
pose of lot of business that had ac-
cumuIated during his absence. and
among the most important of the
measures under consideration was
an ordinance approving the contract
with William Kleihege for the lay
ing of water mains in Johnson street,
State street, Calumet avenue and
Chicago avenue, and also the ques-
ton of taking measures to prevent
the stopping up of the Robertsdale
sewer with gravel in the summer and
ice in the winter.
In the case of the Kleihge con-
tract, Councilman Kane and one or
two others refused to ratify the con-
tract which had been made by the
board of public works because the
contract price did not compare fla
vorabIy with other contracts for the
same kind of work. 1t is nuneces-
sary to enter into the details of the
discussion except to explain that
there was a bid accepted some time
ago at much lower price because
there was a mistake made by the
contractor in figuring the cost of the
work. Mr.. Kane could not under
stand why there should be the differ
ence and refused to vote for the sus-
pension of the rules that would en-
able the council to pass the measure
at last nights meeting.

Up to Public Works.

The mayor said 1t was the board
of public works that should deter
mine the advisability of those things.
that Mr. Kane did not know his
place, that he was jealous of the
power of the board and did not real
lie that council could not both pro-
pose and dispose as it used to. He
said that Kane did not have plan
of his own and did not care about
any plan as long as it did not affect
him.
Mr.. Kane jumped to his feet and
protested that he had the right TO op-
pose any matter that he did not ap-
prove of. There were several min
utes in which both men were talking
at the same time and wildly gesti-
culating but quiet was finally re-
stored and the work OF the council
continued. The ordinance was or
dered to its second reading.
Walter Hammond was awarded
the contract to supply the city pump

conclusion that every gram (one-thir-

Relief for Robertsdale.

In the case of the Robertsdale
sewer Councilman Schaaf reported
that the waves had clogged up the
mouth of the sewer so that there was
no outlet for the sewage. 1t was
pointed out that this condition of af-
fairs was a menace to the health of
all the people of Robertsdale and re-
lief was asked for at once. The
remedy proposed was to build pro-
lection at right angles to the end of
the Robertsdale pier which would
form an l. out in the lake that would
prevent gravel and ice from washing
in and clogging up the mouth of the
sewer
In this case it was proposed to
transfer $3.50 from the general fund
and close a contract with the Great
Lakes Dredging company to do the
work Again Councilman Kane OBJ
jected. He refused to consider the
recommendations of the board of
public works, and said that he would
not vote for the measure until he had
an opportunity TO investigate for
himself.
In this case as in the other it was
important that action be taken at
once and it was desired that the mat
ter be passed at once by a suspension
of rules instead of allowing the mat
ter to go TO its several readings.
Kane, however, obstinately refused
to vote for the measure and it was
then that Mayor Becker lost his patti
ence and turned his gatling guns on
the impIacable councilman.

Wants Whiting Connection.

wants " 41k4AH OJ1lCIt1OA.
John FernelI of that portion OF
Robertsdale lying on the Whiting
boundary line asked the city to make
an appropriation Of $1,000 for the
laying OF a water main from the
nearest Whiting main TO the point
of distribution in Robertsdale, it
having been found too costly To con
meet with the Hammond main. The
hitch came here when it was learned
that the people of Whiting wanted
Hammond TO put in the pipe and they
collect all of the water rentals. The
idea of investing $1,000 with no
prospects of receiving return on
the money did not strike the coun-
cilmen as a very businesslike propo-
sition. They are anxious to afford
the people of Robertsdale the proper
relief, however, and Mr.. Sshaaf Will
meet the Whiting council and see if
an adjustment of the matter can be
made.
1t was announced by the mayor
that since the water meters had been
in at Reed Murdoch S there had been
onlys4 worth of water used in excess
of the amount that was paid for be-
fore the meter was put in and de-
clared that the company should be
exonerated from the charge of steal
ing water.
After hearing some complaints
from Mr., Tuaschek about walks and
sewer the council adjourned May

call special sessions of the council
