 but not accompanied with any hint oi geuine personal feeling. last night reached the white heat stage after controversy between Aldermen Rigs

 The council had before it a resolu. tien which called on City Attorney Mcconnell to enter legal proceedings ln the court to compel Mayor McClen- don to sign the compromise contract with the Barber Asphalt Company, which was covered in an ordinance. looking to the resurfacing of Central avenue
 Alderman Woolston took the floor and asked Mr. Rigsbee if the latter had not taken a trip to Memphis to make a contract with a paving man there"
 MT. Rigsbee stated that he had not, and that he knew we'll he had no au. thority to make any contract with q Haying expert.
 MT. Woolston asked other questions relative to a talk they had previously on the subject, and then retiring, said Somebody has told a lie, and l don't think that it is me"
 MT. Rigspee resented the suggestion that he had lied, and gave his version of the former conversation. stating in conclusion that he would not permit any man to call him a liar and get away with it.
 MT Woolston in retort spoke of covering his own ground in any sort Of a controversy anywhere
 After the council proceedings the matter was repeated in front of the council entrance, and but for other | aldermen intervening, would probably | resulted in fisticuffs.
 The resolution was passed by vote as follows; Ayes Aldermen Rigsbee. Burgauer Little, Poe, Housiey, Led | widge, Kittleberger and Crockett. Nays, Aldermen Woolston and Cart ney.

 Nothing other than the paving con. iroyersy was up with the exception ot the matter of having fire-proof vault built for the care of the city's records, and this was referred to Mayor McClendon to get figures for such a vault and make a report back II 10 the city council. II
