vious council meeting, when Mark
mueller submitted a report to Lauer for
his signature recommending the 5000
appropriation. Lauer refused to sign,
on the ground that he had had no no.
tice of a meeting and that he had made
no investigation.
Markmueller accordingly submitted
the majority report. and Lauer on a
vote went on record against its adop-
ton.
Mayor Smalley at the time said he
would entertain a motion to continue
the committee, but no motion was made
and the majority of the council voted
in favor of the report and against ia

Lauer Attacks Minutes.
At the meeting last night Lauer at
tackled the report of the minutes of the
preceding session and insisted on hav-
irg ruling from Mayor Smalley on
point of order. on the theory that the
majority report had not been made in
proper and legal manner.
Mayor Smalley answered that he
could not go back of the action of the
council, and that it was up to the coun-
ell then in session to approve, correct
or amend the minutes.

you expect this council to get a fair

has served two terms been pitted
against an executive seeking renomina-

he commenced letting out steam. The
strenuous colonel began to annoy the
urbane Taft. and the growing uncer-
tainty of the outcome in the contest
for the nomination began to annoy
them both.
