electric light fund was. then read, and
Heber c. Vaughan, VIM. Evans, Jr..
! Enroll Lyons, Lester Worley, ct. al,
! turned the electric current on the re-
yolving wheel and gave her push
and the old wheel turned to the tune
of 500, $40. SIS, $50, etc. VIM. Ev.
ans, Jr., also plucked seventeen
plunksfrom the revolving fund. while
the wheel was turning. Before the
wheel had stopped the president read
the paving resolution and Evans and
Sons and J. p. Griffin smiled as the
old wheel responded to their desires.
Before the president had finished the
resolutions to appropriate from the
general fund the wheel stopped and
by the time certain motions were
made to eliminate Objectionable
claims the old wheel refused TO run
at all. in consequence no appropria.
tons were made from the general
fund.
In the resolution making appropria
tions from the general fund were in.
cluded such claims as Harry Wad.
man, Coop Drug store, City Drug
store, and others that are as reason.
able and just, and in fact more so. as
such claims as Evans & Sons, J. p.
Griffin and others. and should have
been paid, but for the pettiness of
the five Democratic members 1t was
"a practical impossibility to give
these worthy claimants their just
dues.
Councilman Off l. Peterson then
moved to adjourn, which was duly
seconded.
Griffin, however, wanted to make
recommendation to the mayor for the
appointment OF an employee in the
fire department, and Peterson waiv.
ed Griffin then presented his case
and the matter was favorably acted
upon. The motion to adjourn was
then called for but Hayball wanted a
hearing. A wrangle then ensued, Hay.
ball giving some expert evidence on
parliamentary law, claiming that the
motion TO adjourn was not in order |
as other business had been transact |
ed. Game, however, entertained the |
motion and 1t was put and lost on a |
tie vote. lncidently we might here |
remark, that having been defeated on
the motion to adjourn, the Republi. |
can members did not make an attempt |
to repeat the remarkable cake walk" |
stunt performed by Hayball, Morley, |
and Griffin some time ago, when |
they were defeated on the same mo. |
ton, much to the credit of the five |
Republican members. Mr.. Hayball |
then took the floor and moved that |
certain claims which he sent to the |
presidents desk be read and the |
amounts appropriated. IL developed |
that the said claims were identical
with those that had defeated in the |
general resolutions to cover appropri. !
atoms to men working under the dir |
ection of Robert Kewley. Stevens pro- !
tested that the motion was out OF or |
der on the ground that the matter
had been before the council and been |
disposed of. The president ruled 9th |
erwise and Stevens appealed from the |
decision of the chair. Game thereupon |
stated you can appeal IL you want |
to, but the vote will be five 20 five"
Stevens resented the disposition on |
the part of the president to direct |
the vote of the council and claimed |
that in the vote the president would |
not be- entitled to vote to sustain his |
own ruling. Game took exception, |
that the president had a
right to vote on everything coming
before the council even to his deeds |
and misdeeds The vote was called |
and defeated through President Game |
voting to sustain his own ruling. The |
Hayball motion TO read and appropri. |
ate was then acted upon and lost by |
"A tie vote.
Peterson then renewed his motion
to adjourn which carried. !
