man Holiday, Objecting to
a Payment.

Councilman Holiday is OF the opinion
that the present Council is afraid of Pat
Moran. He expressed this opinion In de-
cided terms at the meeting last evening.
resolution was passed appropriating
$4,000 to pay Moran for the gravel he was
hauling for the city, at the rate Of 10
cents load for four blocks and % cents
a load for eight blocks. Holiday strongly
objected TO this, saying that Moran
should he paid by warrant. as were other
contractors. IT was pointed out that THIS
was a purchase from Moran, not a pay
ment on his contracts.
This did not soothe the Councilman
from the First precinct, who proceeded to
say that It was the general opinion that
the members OF the Council were afraid
to do anything against Moran. Moran
had said In Jest that he owned the pres
cnt Council. and that il they were not
good he would fire them and get another.
