CITY COUNCIL
MET AGAIN,
Automobile
Ordinance,

Contrary to all predictions, and
to the utmost purprise of even some
OF the members themselves. the
Williamsburg City Council held a |
regular meeting last Friday night
Probably no other legislative body |
on earth except the Williamsburg
Council could assemble, transact
business and adjourn so quietly
If any Of the citizens had had a mat
ter of great importance TO bring be-
fore the body, they would have been
none the wiser about the meeting,
unless the city sergeant had gone
about and cried the meeting from
the housetops. Il is this method of
holding council meetings. when they
are held at all, that is getting on the
nerves of the Williamsburg public,
which is asking why it is the city
council does not live up to its owr
rules and meet on the night fixed by
them.
In this connection. Councilman
Spencer gave his colleagues a rap.
He asked them how that body
could expect city officers. subordin-
ates. to perform their duty when the
Council itself was derelict in many
things, chief of which was the fail
ure to meet each month and transact
whatever business that came before
them. His structures hardly created
a ripple, and not a member was able
to peel off a smile. Just 50 1t IS tha

become stepped in sin. With tn,
above observations, for wbich VT

if held.

A communication from the Cit
school board. asking the assistanc
of the council in stamping out diph
liberia, which had long since bee
accomplished. was read and tn
clerk directed to acknowledge il

be noted that the city has paid OF
recently over $40 for diphtheria ant
toxin. and has been refunded abol
