 old Issue. Are, Re-
 versed.

The two hours' meeting of the Coun- ell last night was marked with the introduction of many resolutions and ordinances. and unexpected sharpness of debate upon matters that might have been expected to be disposed without extended comment.
 This latter feature was particularly notable in the remarks that followed the offering of the petition for the granting of the privilege for a fruit stand on part of a sidewalk. The mat ter was talked over by half a dozen aldermen and at the last some made two speeches. More than once dual controversy between members as to a suspension of the rules became inter- estingly humorous or tense.
 Alderman Saul revived the question or ordinances purposed to regulate and define the duties of the ofiices of City Veternarian. and introduced a measure 10 create the, office of the City Live Stock Inspector.
 Both the announcement that he moved for A reconsideration of previ- ous proceedings, referring to the adop- ton of an ordinance introduced by Aledman Seidle, and the later introduc- tion of an ordinance creating the of- flee. made much discussion.
 Alderman Saul first asked that the Council reconsider the vote by which was adopted the Seidle ordinance. in- tended to place the City Live Stock In- spector in such supervision by inc Mayor that the Mayor might direct him to perform offices which the City Vet ertnarian was intended by Alderman Saul to do. Alderman Saul was in- formed by the chair that as the ses- sion then existent was merely an ad- journed session from that at which the ordinance had been adopted. the ordI- nance might not properly be recalled for another consideration.
 Alderman Saul then announced that at the next regular meeting he would move for reconsideration.
 Live Stock Inspector Again.
 The ordinance intended to create the office of City Live Stock inspector was evidently in line with a statement which Alderman Saul hade made, sev- eral weeks ago. during a discussion of the ordinances he had introduced. He then declared that thera was and of constitutional and legal right could not then be at the office of City Live Stock Inspector. He held that the place was merely a temporarily manu- factured position in which a driver of the Fire Department was employed at a salary additional to that which he drew for his services in the Fire De- partment. The ordinance the alder man introduced~last night was for the creation of the office of City Live Stock Superintendent. It Is provided that he shall be under the immediate direction, of the Mayor; that he shall report to the City Veterinarian all cases of ill., ness among the city's live- stock and that he shall be responsible for the nursing and the care of sick and live stock.
 The ordinance was appropriately committed.

 The location of the South Perry Street car line was not terminated last night. Alderman Jones read to the Council telegram to the Montgomery Traction Company. from it's president, R. D. Apperson. advising that MT. Ap- person would come Immediately to and requesting that final disposition of the matter be postponed until then. It was agreed by the Coun- cil that in the present circumstances
