OyERULED BY THE
CITY COUNCNMEN

Secure the Approval of
His City Engineer.

Sioux Falls, S. D. Sept. 26.-Mayor
W. T., Doolittle had 10 straight vetoes.
recorded in the meeting of the council.
last evening in a contest which has
become almost historical. In each case.
the council reconsidered and passed.
the measures over the mayors mega
tive action.
The council had agreed TO approve
the appointment of A. A. Wagner for
city engineer in case the back salary
of L.. r. Hendricks. former city engi-
neer, was paid, but when it was shown
that the check covering the salary of
the chief engineer did not include the
back pay of the assistant, the whole
agreement was thrown in the air again.
Only wv of the aldermen voted to sus-
tain the mayor on any proposition that
was under consideration.
The mayor and the aldermen have
been at loggerheads practically since
the mayor qualified for Office after the
spring election, and the lack OF har-
monya among the members increases the
sentiment in favor of the Galveston
plan of government which is to be
voted on this fall.
