FROM CAIRO TO THE HILLS
Is CITY COUNCILS SLOGAN
Ordinance Joining City TO Road District No. 7
Passed Last Night in Spite Of Strenuous
Opposition

The city council held short but
very important special meeting last
night There were present His Honor,
Mayor Parsons, and Aldermen Grea.
ney, Magner, Kelly, Walsh, Mechanics,
Ferguson, Williams, Burke. Koehler,
SeuHin and Neff.
There were also present several citt'
ems, among them Dr.. Wood. road
commissioner, and President Geo. T.
|Garnes and Secretary Johnson OF, the
Retail Merchants Association.
The mayor stated the purpose CT
the meeting was to consider the ordi-
nance annexing Cairo to Road Dis
trict No. T. The matter had been
called up at the previous meeting
by Alderman Williams who asked for
"a report by the committee to which
III had been referred, and on motion
OF Alderman Burke last night was
fixed as the time for a special meet
ing to hear such report,
The report was read by the clerk,
and it recommended that the ordi.
nance be not passed.
Alderman Greaney asked to be in
formed by some mem.er of the com.
mittee what reasons there were for
not adopting the ordinance. Cairo
had been voted into the district be-
fore for what We're then considered
very good reasons, safe the alderman
and he could not understand why
these reasons shouIf not be good
now He would like to be informed
what prompted the committee ia
bring In an adverse report.
Alderman Scullin said that so far
as he was concerned as member OF
the committee, the reason for not
recommending the adoption of the
ordinance was that it would place adj
ditional burdens on the people OF
Cairo, and that the people of Cairo
would not be able ITO dictate how the
money should be spent. The city
would pay five or six times as much
of the tax as the country portion OF
the district and would have no contro
over the money.
The mayor said the matter had
been very thoroughly gone into b,
our special counsel Mr.. Leek and he
would like to have that gentleman
state the reasons why the ordinance
should not pass.
Alderman Greaney expressed de
sire first TO reply to the First ward
alderman. He said it would make
little difference who handled this
money II roads were built. Roads Is
what the people OF Cairo want. And
another strong point in favor Of
adopting the ordinance was that 7
would give the city $4,000 annually
which it surely needed for its own
streets. AS city treasurer he knew
that the city depended upon this fund
for four or five months a year to pay
its own street gang, who could not be
paid from any other source.
Attorney Leek said he had no in.
terest in the matter except as a citi

one half of it would stay in the city
to be spent in keeping up the streets.
He believed that Of any 100 mer-
chants that could be named in Cairo,
80 would favor passing the ordinance.
He considered it the councils duty to
vote the city into the road district.
Alderman Scullin had moved to
concur in the adverse report of the
ordinance committee.
Alderman Greaney moved to lay
this motion on the table. Carried by
a vote of to 5.
Alderman Greaney then moved to
place the ordinance on its second
reading for adoption. Carried.
