Mayor Absent.
Mayor Fern was not able to be pres
ent last evening and again Supervisor
Low was named as chairman, although
not with Murray's consent. Super
visor Arnold mentioned Low while
Murray was talking with Mcclellan,
and as soon as it was done Murray
stated that he had intended to name
Arnold to take the chair at the ses-
sion.
Supervisor Low makes a venerable
appearance in the chair at the delibera.
tions of the board, his gray hair lend
ing dignity to the office. Besides, his
call down to the members for grunting
instead of rising and making motions
at the last meeting had its effect, fol
each and every one arose when he had
a motion or second to make.
Just One Scrap
Only once did the fire fly during the
meeting between Murray and the tenn
porary chairman, and that was oveI
the report of the sanitation committee
that the action of the building inspec
tor in holding up the permit for Lord
& Young to make an addition to the
Arlington without putting in the fire
proof shutters was proper.
Murray wanted to make a few re
marks and did so, but after he haC
talked once and stopped and theI
started up again the chair told hin
the motion was before the house anC
there was no necessity for any further
hot air.
At this Murray said he was entitled
TO speak and his remarks were emit
tied to consideration.
You will get the consideration du
any gentleman" said Low, with &C
cent on the last word.
