ALLAN HOLDS UP
GARAGE CONTRACT
Files Reconsideration Notice
Following Parliamentary Mix
up in Council Meeting

Aid, Allan, Wednesday morning
filed notice that he will move to re-
consider the action OF the council
whereby Culbertson & Kelly were
awarded the contract to construct the
proposed municipal garage at Abbott
and Sixth-sts. His action follows a
curious parliamentary mixup which
caused aarumpus In the council, Tues.
day night.
iCulbertson & Kelly submitted three
bids 70 the. commissioner OF public
works. one on the specifications and
two alternates. Their bid on the
specifications Is 332,766. which is $50
lower than the bid submitted by
George d. Mutt. On the advice OF the
corporation counsel. Commissioner
Fenkell recommended Nuts bid. The
committee on public buildings over
ruled the commissioner, and recon-
mended that Culbertson & Kelly be
given the contract after listening to
the argument OF contractors.
The council supported the commit
tee report, rs to 8. Aid. Allan, who
had made q strenuous effort to de-
feat the committee report, asked
after the vote was taken TO have his
changed from may" to AYE" for the
purpose or fling a reconsideration
Then he entered a formal objection
to adoption Of the committee report.
A single objection will hold up for
one week any resolution involving an
expenditure Of money. under the
council rules. The point was then
raised that Allan was out of order
when he objected. The corporation
counsel was appealed to, and evaded
the question by repeating that single
objection would lay the matter over.
He did not say that Allan had made
his objection properly. Chairman Lit.
tleheld understood that he did. Mean.
while, Commissioner Fenkell called
attention to the immediate need Of q
garage. and Aid. Vernon moved to
hold special meeting at IL o'clock
In the council chamber to dispose OF
the contract. Instead OF ruling Aid
Vernors motion out of order. Presi.
dent Littlefield announced the ad.
lournment OF the council until next
Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning there was a
demand on the city clerk for the
council book OF rules. Some of the
aldermen were inclined to support
President Littlefield, while others de-
clared he had usurped the powers of
the council while in the chair.
Aid. Allan FASTENED to Ale recon
sideration, fearing that in the next
meeting some alderman might move
to correct the records and prevent a
review Of the contracts.

Bulgarian Prince
Fighting Country
of His "Old Love"

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
SOFIA, Oct. 1S.-The announcement that
Prince Boris. the crown price of sui
garia, will be commander-in-chief of the
Bulgarian army, recalls the love affair
between him and the Russian emperor 8
eldest daughter, the Princess Olga. The
engagement has been announced by the
papers on two OCCASIONS, and while not
officially confirmed his visits to the car
have given color to the romance. He

outside his own country. and prefers 1t
to any other foreign city.

Rainy Season Gives
Russia Advantage

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
PETROGRAD, Oct. 1S.-The early and
persistent rainy season over the greater
part OF the fighting front is taken by
the Russian peasants as a sign that the
text inscribed on the regimental stand
ards-"God is on Our Side"-is not mis-
placed. The Russian places great faith
In the defensive merits of his rainy sea-
son, especially in the marshy sections,
where intimate knowledge OF the bogs
will enable local guerilla bands, under
dsredevils. to keep up a continual harass-
ment OF the German flanks and rear.
The local peasantry alone is familiar
with the shifts and tricks OF the marshes,
especially in the treacherous Pinsk dis
trict. for there the bogs vary with the
seasons and according to the rainfall. A
case has already been reported from this
district in which a German column was
cunningly surrounded by a small force OF
guerillas, who crept by secret ways
across the swamps and raised an alarm
on all sides at once. The enemy. seized
with panic, endeavored to find a way
out and the whole column disappeared
in a treacherous morass which seemed
a possible road to safety from the I'M
known strength OF the attackers.
It Is still somewhat early for the APP
pearance of the guerillas. whose best OPP
portunity will come when the snow
obliterates the landscape for all save the
nAtive-born.
