In special meeting last night, the
city council. appropriated the sum OF

extra inspectors to check up the lists

Opposing the appropriation were Al

Rocheblave, Williams and Pfeiffer.
The action was taken following the
motion for a reconsideration of the
councils action as recorded at the
last meeting, when an appropriation
was asked for the same purpose, the
first recommendation voted for and
lost providing for the employment of
thirteen additional inspectors and pro-
viding the sum of $500. The recon-

vided for ian additional number OF
inspectors" and provided for the sum
of S225.00 as above told.
Those who attended the meeting
last night were the ten aldermen
named in the vote, and the president,
who came in after President Protein.
Kugleman had called the meeting to
order. The meeting under the acting
presidents administration had pro-
ceeded to the point where the re-
port of the finance committee was to
be made up in a short recess inter-
val, and then, upon re convening,
President Greenhut assumed the
chair.
After it had been officially learned
from the call that the meeting had
been ordered for the purpose of con-
Sidering report from the finance
committee on the question of appro-
priation, and also to consider or re-
ceive an ordinance providing GER
tain franchise privileges for the
Avery Hardware Company, on Jeffer-
son street, communication from the
mayor was read. This letter recon-
mended the appropriation of S225.00
for the purpose of employing extra
inspectors, etc, and it was referred
to the finance committee. That com
mittee, consisting of Aldermen De-
Silva, chairman; Bear and Pfeiffer,
acted favorably upon the mayors let
ter, returning after the expiration of
a five minute recess a favorable re-
port and recommending that the sum
be paid from the general fund. Al
derman Williams moved the adoption
of the report and its recommenda-

SOME DISCUSSION.
Upon the offer of the finance com
mittee report and it's recommends
tions which favored the mayors re
quest. there was some discussion pro
voked. Alderman Renshaw, calling
attention to rule 80 of the council
rules. which provided that only 4
member voting against any action
could call it up again, brought out a
ruling from the chair that the action
was cut of order in the adoption of
the mayors communication. and he
sustained Alderman Renshaw's stand
by ruling the communication out OF
order. Now to be absolutely fair
and square about this thing remark.
