Ignored After Arrangement
by Mayor McCaskrin.

There was no disturbance at the adj
journed meeting of the city council
last evening Mayor McCaskrin took a
positive position on any remarks from
the council sustained the municipal
executive.
The council was in committee of
the whole during the discussion of
the telephone merger ordinance.
Mayor G. w. McCaskrin was chosen
to preside. No sooner had the mayor
called the committee to order than
Alderman w. D. Cochran was on his
feet with a renewal of his motion
offered at the meeting of Monday
evening that John Looney be per-
mitted to address. the aldermen on
the telephone merger ordinance.
Cochran did not receive a second to
his motion. Addressing the alder
men, the mayor said:
eff there is no objection from any
member of this council l will permit
Storm Drain Looney to advise you.
If there is any objection from any
member Of this council 1 will not
W
this council, because he was indicted
by a grand jury for conspiring to de-
fraud this city in the notorious storm
drain case. He was found guilty of
that offense by a jury of IL honest
men. l have no personal interest in
what he may say, and if any member
of this council objects to hearing this
notorious Storm Drain Looney, will
require you to make. properly second,
and carry by majority vote, your re-
quest to hear from such character"
Cochran then arose and put his mo-
ton, but did not receive a single re-
Spouse from the other members of the
committee.
Then your advice is not needed, ="
the mayor said, addressing Looney.
McCaskrin and Cochran Clash.
The mayor and Alderman Cochran
got their wires crossed during the
parley. The mayor told Cochran that
he could De excused by his ignor
ance; that if he had ordinary sense
he would not have persisted in a pro-
ceeding that had previously brought
odium on the members of the council
Cochran replied that education was
d
bad thing for others. In emphasizing
his point he drifted into profanity
The mayor reminded him in rather
forcible terms that profanity was not
tolerated in a session of the city
council, whereupon Cochran apollo
gized, and the incident was closed,
for the time being, at least.
After the merger ordinance had
been read Leroy J. Wolfe, attorney
for the Union Electric, and President
Sucker were heard, both reviewing
the history of the independent tele-
phone enterprise, the details of which
the public is familiar with. 1t was
shown that the company was on It's
last legs, and that if the present ar
rangement with the Central Union
was not sanctioned by the city coun-
