TH0S. R. BLACK EXPLAINS
BUT WATER SCRIP ORDINANCE
GOES TO ANOTHER COMMITTEE
TH0S. r. BLACK EXPLAINS

c. j. Crabtree, chairman of the mu-
nicipal laws committee and his COM
mittee, Of which T. r. Black, his part
ner, is member, were scored, jumped
on and fairly annihilated by Council
men NJ. Z. Mulvey and T. D. Martin
at the council meeting last evening.
The trouble came up when the water
scrip ordinance was under considera-
ton and for half an hour the battle
between the "refOrmers'' was fast and
furious
Mulvey started il. The rotund coun-
Gilman was wTathy. He had introduced
the ordinance a week ago and had seer.
II referred 70 the municipal laws COM
mittee. Last Thursday evening when
it should have been considered by the
committee. Crabtree told the anxious
owners of Federal Heights that il
could net be found.
When it came up last evening Mulvey
was not paying attention and on motion
of Black, Crabtree's partner and mana
ger, it WIS referred to the municipal
laws committee again Mulvey, how
ever, came too in short order and
was very angry. He said:
There is a scheme in all this. This
is the ordnance We want and 7 don't
propose to have the water committee
fooled with. We want no more lost
ordinances. I move that the ordinance
be read"
A Warm interchange.
w Mont Ferry, who was presiding
in the absence of President Davis.
said that it had already been referred
to d committee and that it would be
necessary to, take It from the COM
mittee's hands. Mulvey made the mo-
ton and il was carried
Il have quit fOOling with this ordi-
nance and It must be passed" he de-
clared.
But it was lost" said Crabtree.
4 know why it was lost" signif-
cantly remarked Mulvey.
Il. has never been before the cOun-
Gil" said CTabtree.
ct was up two weeks ago and was
lost when most wanted" replied Null
vey fairly boiling over with wrath.
Ferry sided with Mulvey and declared
the ordinance before the house. Black
objected.
"Of course you OBJECT" commented
Muivey.
Black then arose to explain. He said
[ the charge had been made that the
ordinance had been lost and tried 10
prove by the recorder that it had not
been, but was not successful
1T was lost like some others have
been and you probably know more
about it than 1 do" said MuIvey
whereat Black flushed and so did Crab
tree.
''Well, it has been done before" added
Mulvey, and Crabtree broke in with:
How could it have been stolen2"
90. I guess it went uD in a balloon
was the reply.
Martin Cuts Loose.
Then Martin became excited and he
| launched into a TRADE against the NUM-
| cipal laws committee, saying:
1.-The water main fund is exhausted and
we should give the people who desire eX-
! tensions a chance to make them. Appar-
entity the municipal laws committee Is
the whole thing in the council 1 don't
propose TO stand for it any more. I won't
| bend my knee to that august body any
more. Nothing comes into this council
/ that is not referred to that bench. They
| will find out soon that they are not the
whole show. L. D. Martin IS going to do
| some talking from now on. / have been
/ dubbed around and rubbed by that ag-
/ gregation long enough. They can't run
me any more"
| Several amendments were then offered
I to the ordinance and Councilman Black
attacked them upon every imaginary
ground Finally MulVey came 70 the res
/ cue after three or four queer amend
ments had been introduced and moved
| the ordinance be referred back to the
water committee.

well, it won't go there" said Mulvey.
'EWeU it will" said Crabtree.
1T will go to the water committee,
/ whore if can't be fooled with" was Null
! vey's reply. and there it went on the
/ order of Ferry
The ordinance provides that owners OF
additions can put in their own Watermalis
/ and he paid in negotiable water scrip, one
! fourth to be paid every year for four
years.
