The mayor talked and when Hickey
tried to interrupt, the mayor used the
gavel and refused to let him talk.
The argument grew quite warm and
Alderman Butler arose and said that

Hickey, is for him to have the city

Meeting Of the City Council
Held Last Even.
Ing.
"BURLEsQUE COUNCIL"
Absent Aldermen and CITY Ensi-
neer Got Bumped and the
Mayor Nearly Broke I
His cavei.

A special meeting Of the city coun-
ell was held last evening 1t was
called for s o'clock at which time there
we're six aldermen present and rae
mayor, seven being necessary for a
quorum. After some skirm,shsng
around the seventh son was secured
and the meeting proceeded, there be-
ing present Aldermen Butler. Christy.
Hickey. Lindstrand, Roberts Swan
son at 5 o'clock.
While the six aldermen were wait
ing for another one to arrive Aldermen
Hicky arose and said the mayor was
too easy on the council and should
use his police power to bring tae al
dermen to the meeting. He said this
was the third time that he had been
at meeting when there was no quor-
UNI.
The mayor said he would use his
police power If necessary. He said
that they had all signed up to attend
the meeting.
Then" said Alderman Butler,
"call up the police station and have
the officers go out and arrest the
absentees on the street and bring
them up"
The clerk was ordered to telephone
to the police and the mayor stated
that he would fine those who were not
present.
The city attorney read the ordi-
nance which permits the mayor to fine
aldermen for being absent.
Rapping upon the desk, the mayor
announced that hereafter ne would see
that the aldermen were present, even
If the police had to haul them up.
Il think the council you have is
burlesque, said Alderman Hickey,
with few exceptions
Alderman Johnson's arrival at this
time saved police raid being made.
Alderman Annable being out of the
city and Alderman DeYong having
stated before that he could not attend
the meeting, all of the above ridicule
evidently WIS heaped upon the heads
OF Aldermen Kiefer, Mccormick and
Tigue, whose ears must have burned
during the evening for otaer things
were said besides those given above.
The Second Outburst
The smoke had about settled over
this question. when Alderman Hickey
started another forest fire before the
council had been called to order. He
declared again that there was bur
lesquing going ON and referred TO the
contract with the city which the Mil
Ter Brothers had asked for four
months ago He asked if the city
engineer had ever drawn a plat of
the city's land near the Des Moines
river bridge, through which the firm
wanted permission in order to conduct
taeir sand business.
The engineer said that this was the
first time ne had heard anything
about plat being wanted and the
mayor also said that he never heard
of plat being wanted.
Alderman Hickey insisted that
plat was needed. otherwise the city
attorney could not draw up the con-
tract with the Miller Brothers which
had been granted by the council.
There is no excuse in the world
why the plat was not made three
months ago. not today" said the al
derman. 1T is simply a burlesque."

for redemption and the city attorney
had advised this action IN getting the
trees out of the way.
Alderman Butler remarked that at
one time he had four OF the finest
trees in the city and when sidewalk
was ordered in front of his place, the
city removed the trees without passing
any resolution whatever.
