WANT To KNOW
FERNS REASONS
Supervisors Ask That He Tell
Them the Why for His
Rulings.

Supervisor Aylett wanted some rea-
sons, good reasons if possible, but rea-
sons OF some kind, why the Mayor
should refuse to put one of the motions
at last nights meeting of the Board
of Supervisors. He quoted Cushing S
parliamentary rules to confute the
stand of His Honor, and '.towered in
righteous Indignation, head a trifie
ON one side during the towering, as he
discussed the duty of a presiding of
fcer over~any legislative body. Mr..
Aylett made good speech and fully
justified the confidence showed in him
by the electorate, but he didn It feaze
the Mayor. Without removing his cigar,
His Honor calmly declined still to put
the motion. Even Logan S thrice re-
peated prayer that he put the motion
failed to move him. He didn,' put the
motion, either.
This was motion to pass on third
reading an ordinance legalizing every
thing done by the Supervisors in those
eventful three or four first meetings of
the Board, before the members had
found footing in the technical quag-
mires and had struck out blindly in all
directions in passing things. Eventu-
ally, Logan took the matter into his
own hands and put the motion himself.
s4sse ordinances were passed for the
shl-l and final time last night, one
abolishing for the third or fourth time
all the offices, positions, jobs and en-
Payments not created by law and es-
tablished by the old Board of Super
visors. The second ordinance was that
establishing the right of the various
standing committees to hire and fire
all the employees they wanted at sal
aries fixed by themselves. subject to
after approval or disapproval of the
majority of the Board. The Mayor put
both. of these motions, but baked on
the third.
''WeIl, give US some reasons. We
want some good reasons why you rule
this resolution out of order,' exclaim-
ed Aylett. 81 can not see why you, as
the presiding officer of this legislative
body, should rule this motion out of
order. According to parliamentary
rules it is up to you tc put this motion.
| do not think that you are doing your
duty as presiding officer, according to
parliamentary rules. Give us some rea-
sons. Otherwise III leave it to my
friend here waving at Logan" he II
do the rest.
81 rule the resolution out of order;
it is up to the majority of the Board
if you want to pass it," responded the
Mayor
Then Logan did the rest, and the
resolution passed final reading.
Logan then introduced an ordinance
fixing the salaries of the various clerks
in the city offices, including the staff
of the City Clerk. "Of course, if you
do not approve of these officers" he
said, referring to the clerks staff,
their salaries can not be paid. We
all admit that. / assure you this is no
attempt to go over your head. 1t is
only taking action in order to be ready
for the time when our differences will
be ENTHUSIASTICALLY settled. ]

the Metropolitan Meat company issued

as stated, are the scarcity of the local
supply and the necessity of importing

Never since then has he been out of

him as II has scrutinizel few other
characters in history. In even its

triumphant life has stood the ordeal

acid test that destroys SO many repu-

panded Lincoln. Out OF the investiga-

grotesque upon the surface he is
seen to have been loving. patient.

on the centenary Of Lincoln's birth.
President Roosevelt will not only de-
liver the chief Grafton at this cere-
mony, but 1t is believed will make the
effort of his life. The event comes so
near the end of his term in the presi-
dency that it would be but natural for
him TO give here his last important
utterance. 1t is also believed that h'
will make his address short and thai
he aspires to have 1t the nearest thing
TO the immortal Gettysburg classic
that has been delivered since that day.
Judging from the length Of his mes
snees, it will not be exactly easy for
Mr. Roosevelt to hold himself down to
nh utterance no longer than that OF
Lincoln at Gettysburg. but If he sue
ceeds it will be an accomplishment
worthy of being celebrated in song
and story.
