QUESTIONS LEGALITY
Of COUNCIL S ACTION
M. Norris Claims Election Of
phoebus Town Officers Was
Not Regular.
OPPOSES APPROVING The MINUTES
Council Adjourns Without Attempting
to Transact Buslrees and VIII Hold
Special Meeting to Straighten Out
Tanqle-No Official Notice of The
Meeting.

Councilman William G. Morris, Of
tn, Third ward. created a sensation
IN the Phoebus council last night,
when he questioned the legality of the
action of the council in electing the
town officers and selecting another
night for holding its regular sessions,
which action was taken when the
council met in special session on the
FIRST Wedne sday night in September.
Mr.. Morris brought up the matter
Just as soon as Town Recorder Frank
c. Larabee had finished the reading
OF the minutes of the special session,
and strongly opposed the councils APP
proving the minutes of that sess!on.
lie commended that the council mad
erred in going into the election OF
the town officers without serving
notice on each member of the special
meeting: that the council had no au-
thor'ty to change the night of the
regular meetings from the second
Thursday to the first Wednesday night
in each month: and that the council
had done things not stated in the
call fer the special session. On these
grounds Mr.. Morris fought the appro-
val of the minutes of that session,
contending that the minutes were al
so incorrect. Mr.. Morris declared that
he had not been officially notified that
a special meeting fer the election OF
officers would be called by Mayor Fur
ness Had he known what would be
done at the meeting he would have
been present.
Knew Meeting Was to be Held.
Councilman Sutler replied 10 Mr..
Morris and urged that the minutes
be approved as read. He told MIR.
Morris that he was aware of the fact
that a meeting would be held wheth
or he had been formally served with
legal notice or not. Mr. Sutler claim
ed that the council was acting within
its privilege when Il made the change
in the meeting night and also argued
that the minutes were correct.
Councilmen Ferber and Copeland
agreed with Mr. Sutler.
After some further discussion the
molten to approve the minutes was
put and defeated by the vote of four
to three:
Ayes. Sutler. Copeland and Ferber;
noes. Clarke. Morris, Fontaine and
Urduhart
When II was seen that the minutes
had failed OF approval Mayor Furness
asked whether the council could pro-

Binding. SAYS Mr.. SpratIey.

Town Attorney Spratley. after the
meeting last night, declared that the
action OF the council in electing the
officers at the September meeting was
binding. whether the minutes of the
meeting were approved or not
Mr. Sprstlcy said that the officers
have since qualified and received GER
tifcates of election from the town re-
corder and therefore the elections
Were valid and binding.
However, there are some who con-
tend that inasmuch az Mr.. Larrabee
was reelected the town recorder at
the meeting that ii the meeting was
Illegal he was therefore not the town
recorder. and certificate of election
from him would not be binding on
the council 1t was contended that
Mr. Larrabee would be unable 10
make a contract fer the town. if he
had not been legally chosen. II is
also said that this feature will be
used in the event that a contest is
made
1t is likely that Mayor Furness will
today issue call for a special meet
ing of the council to thrash out the
entire dispute. when both contending
parties will have legal representation

Some idea Of the magnitude of this
great circus may be found in the fact
that it travels on five trains. the COM
bined length of which lacks but a few
feet Of being two miles. When the
tyenJy-eight tents are erected four
teen acres of ground are under can

one time en- tandem the team would
be almost three miles long. Twenty

Although he was fleet and in earnest,
