REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL AIDED BY MINORITY OF DEMOCRATS

Alderman Garlick Led the Opposition and He Was Able to Muster Six Democratic Votes-MeyeP and
 King Favor Improvement.

The project to widen North avenue was defeated by a vote of to 10 at the meeting of the Common Council last night. The majority report of the Streets and Sidewalks committee, recommending that the petitioners he given leave to withdraw. was accept ed. Much was said in favor of the project: and much against it: Alder man James P. Gerrity and Alderman Guy P. Miller amused their colleagues with word war over the merit sys- tenn question; Alderman Frederick Cederho1n incidentally tried to get recognition of his resolution relative to a municipal ownership; Alderman George w. King brought out a vicious rap from the mayors gavel when he taking up the building code report, and quite a bit of routine business was transacted
 When the majority and minority re- ports of the Streets and Sidewalks committe were presented Alderman Patrick H. Brady moved that the re- ports be tabled. A vote was taken and showed 13 against the motion and 10 in favor of it. Alderman King did not vote, declaring that he thought the motion debatable, though the mayor had declared it not debat- able.
 The majority report, signed by AL derrnen Walker, Garliek, Steigler and Stewart. was then moved for adop- ton by Alderman Primrose. Alder man Brady amended the motion ask ing that the minority report, which was signed by Alderman F. J. Carroll, be substituted for the majority re- port This amended motion was de- feated by the same vote that the majority report was adopted by. IA to 10.
 In the discussion which arose A1- derman Brady declared that the mat ter hadn't ought to be considered a fractional fight. He contended that the heavy traffic on the street de- Alderman Farrell said that he didn't consider the majority report consist ent with good judgment. He thought the street should be widened because there was 8 need for it's widening. Alderman Moran said he had studied now hung in the city clerks office, the property interests on the street. He said that he desired to vote as a majority of the property owners on the street desired and that from his study of the map he had found that ed in that property which is in his district the Sixth. He found that the property owners in favor of the wfd- ening represented 4,019 feet and those opposed to the widening represented 3467 feet He was therefore in favor of the widening.
 Alderman GarIick said that the matter seemed to be a factionaI affair and that it wasn't right that the peti- ton should come in the council to create so much confusion and dis turbance after once having been kill fare was not main artery in the city and that he had never seen any congested traffic the street, nor avan traffic to speak of He

 Mutt and Jeff lead a precarious sort O. existence They subsiet on what they can gather through their wits, and to their credit be it said that they always aim high, but they never n ake a bullseye. When fortune is within their reach their schemes fail, and invariably they have to start anew with another daring scheme
 Their various enterprises are repro duced to the setting of catchy music by Howard Webster lyrics by E. s. Tannehill, Jr.. the man who staged the show, and Bud Fischer, the origi- nator of the two characters. .1> 4

He said he was satisfied that it was nothing more or less than 8 factional fight.
 Alderman King said that the high way was a main artery of travel and that it was the direct road between New York and Boston and that other cities and towns between those two thoroughfare and were making 1t uni form all the way. Bridgeport ought to do the same with North avenue, he had been stolen by the property own CTS who have encroached more and more until now the street isn't as wide as it was originally.
