Parliamentary Tangle.
When Mr.. Sattcrheld moved to re-
consider the vote by\which the ordin-
ance proposing an Increase of 10 per
| cont. in the salaries of patrolmen in
| the Police Department, a prolonged
| parliamentary skjrmsh .cnsued.
Mr.. Satterneld was unable to cope
! with President Turpn as a parliament
tartan, and Mr.. Dabney rushed into
the breach and took tup the struggle
| Before 1t began President Turpin adj
| mitted that he was in error when this
ordinance was formerly before the
Board in ruling that the)various items
therein could be separated. Hc had
| since conferred with the City Attorney
and was now convinced Of his error.
Then followed long parliamentary
tangle, in the course of Which Mr..
Dabney moved to amend by. including
in the increase the scrgeants and caps
tains.
Mr.. Adams moved to strike out. the
captains. The, amendment was reject
ed.
President Turpin ruled that It was
not possible to reconsider legally and
concur in the action Of the Common
Council without reconsidering and
retracing, step by step, every action
heretofore taken. He directed the clerk
To
various motions and amendments.
Mr. Dabneys and others took issue
with the chair. who reminded the
Board that tho clerk could not pos
sibly straightcn out the tangle into
which the Board had been drawn.
Mr.. Dabney Offered a substitute pro-
posing a 10 per cent. increase in the
salaries OF the police captains, ser
y geants and patrolmen, but President
. Turpin ruled that having adopted
amendments to the ordinance recon
sidcrcd, it was not in order to con
slider n substitute.
Mr.. Dabney argued the point at some
length, but the president adhered Y
his ruling, reminding the body, how:
ever, that he, was not infallible. ant
that an appeal from the chairs de
cison was always in order In fact
lie invited such appeal.
Ruling Reversed.
