OFFERS ACTION ON
HANLEY CONTRACT
Council Gets Into Parliamentary
Tangle and Resolution Is Held
Up Temporarily.

Mayor Thompson's veto of the
councils action in relieving Contrac-
tor James Hanley OF the Fairyiew
sewer contract resulted I'm parlia-
mentary tangle at Tuesday nights
session OF the council, with the re-
suit that final action on the matter
was deferred until next Tuesday
night. Attorneys John ID. MacKay
and George Is. Yerkes and two sons OF
the contractor did some active lobby
ing and claimed TO have enough votes
to pass the resolution releasing Han
ley over the mayors head, but be
cause OF the parliamentary mix-up
they were fearful that, II the matter
were put to vote, tlNre might be
some question as to tie legality OF
the action. Accordingly TIE whole
matter was laid on the table.
Aid. Vernon started the ball rolling
by moving that the vote whereby
Hanley was relieved OF the contract,
at the last meeting, be reconsidered.
This was carried unanimously, and
Aid. Vernon then moved that the mat
ter be referred back to the commit
tee on sewers. Aid. Gilman moved as
an amendment that IL lie on the table,
inasmuch as some OF the members ~
the sewer committee were absent. He
saw no object In sending 1t back to
the committee. Aid. Heating then
came forward with a motion to
adopt the original resolution notwith-
standing the mayors Veto This was
made as an amendment to the amend
ment. Before any of these motions
had been acted upon, Aid. Lynch
made a substitute motion that the
matter lie on the table and the chair
ruled that he was out of order, after
friendly tilt between Aid. Vernon
and Heating. The latter finally with
drew his motion to pass the resolu-
ton over the mayors head and Aid.
Glinnan's motion to lay on the table
then carried unanimously.
From the sentiments expressed by
the aldermen, II was evident that,
with possibly two or three exceptions
they are inclined TO uphold Hanley. No
one arose to advocate the adoption
Of the minority report of the sewer
committee, holding Hanley to his con-
tract, as recommended by the mayor.
Aid. Mason had filed notice that he
