Adopt Rules.
The rules OF the meeting were then
adopted by the body after q great
deal OF controversy. Butts said that
ne believed that some Of the council
men were afraid of not getting in on
the ground. The Objectionable fea-
lure OF the rules vas that the orig
inal Section ?. OF the rules stated
that the attorneys for Chief Leyland
could object Co any member of the
committee with Just cause and de
mand his. removal.
An amendment was then inter
posed by Mr.. Alexander allowing thai
the body itself should decide the val
idity of its own members. Council
man Green said he believed that the
rules were meant for discrimination
OF members. This brought forth q
nearly rebuttal by Butts. Alexander
said that he did uot believe incom-
petent men should be allowed on the
committee Green then wanted TO
know who was to judge incompetent
men and inferred that the majority
OF members could bring charges
against n of the committee. and
whether he was guilty or not could
exclude him. Mr.. Alexander stated
lhat the man who was incompetent
was he, who would hear the testi-
nlony and then decide according To
his personal feelings in the matter
as he had expressed himself before
the time. With the amendment. the
rules were adopted as follows.
