TOWN COMMONS .
ORDINANCE IS
NOW 4 CITY | LAW
T WAS PASSED BY COUNCIL LAST
NIGHT AFTER CONSIDER
ABLE DISCUSSION.
Lengthy Meeting Was Held BY the
soiers Last Night and There Mas
Considerable Wrsnglirs Amsns che
Members.

4 City council held the longest meet
ing OF the year last night. which was
characterized by more wrangling than
has been the case at any meeting OF
! the council Of 1912. The meeting
lasted almost three hours, and a half
dozen times curing the evening the
aye and nay vote was called for on
various questions and in one or two
Instances the mayor had to decide a
il tie. vote.
\ Most Of the wrangling was over the
ordinance, which was finally passed,
under which council is to dispose of
all of the Towns Commons property,
as authorized by the last session of
the legislature and ratified by the vot-
ers at the December, election. The
wrangling, however, was not over the
passage Of the ordinance, as every
member of council favored it, but over
a half dozen or more amendments
submitted to the original ordinance.
After council had finally disposed of
this ordinance, other business was
taken up. The ordinance providing
Nfor the paving of thirteen city blocks
was placed on it's first reading, as
was another by Alderman Leo giving
the city authority to condemn any
tunsishtly and unhealthy buildings in
the city. Or
Another long-winded argument oc-
| nnrrad rrbon tbo or xbo S,,d;
tors who recently examined the city's
books, was read. Some of, the mem
4 bers thought it ought to be published
4 in full, covering two or three pages
i in, a newspaper, others thought onfy
4 the comments of the, auditors should
be printed, while others held, that it
was not necessary to publish any of
\ the report, inasmuch as it was only
a duplication of financial statements
4 already published this year The re-
| port was an exhaustive one, and was
/ to the effect that books of all of the
city officers had been, found correct,
1t was finally. ordered that the re-
port be fled: }5fs II. aa.., ....tt Il
The ordinance providing for the sale
of all Town, Commons property is one
of the most important matters that
/ has been up For action before a city
council in recent years. The amend
nent differs IN many. ways, from the
original ordinance. AS amended and
! pass ed last night, the ordinance I'M
full is as follows; =, .H-rf Y.4.l1rfLI
