Quigley and Curtis Clash.

Commenting upon this report, Alderman Curtis moved that it be printed and said it should prove the fallacy of municipal farming. Re- ferring to the canning account, which showed $1,00O had been expended, he just had to have his little joke and said that 1000 was canned" He favored putting an estimate for the
 home gardens in next years budget
 and letting the people vote on it, as-
 serting that there has been some S25,-
 900 expended since the tax rate was
 settled. This amount did not appear
 in the budget and is spending money
 through improper channels, he said.
 Mayor Quigley jumped to the de-
 fense of the committee and said that
 the council has to be composed of
 big men in order to do big things in
 times of stress. Sometimes" he said
 "I have to hang my head in shame
 to hear members of the council criti-
 else the men who are giving up every-
 thing to do their bit. dislike men to
 be low, petty and mean"
 Not at all nonplused, Alderman Curtis said: ''The mayors remarks, or some of them, are perhaps aimed at me, but I don't have to ask any man in this room about my patriot ism. We have commissioners and commissions, but it is not what we have in the line of commissions, but rather what we get out of them. Re suits for the people are needed" From gardens and potatoes the de- bate then switched to patriotism and Councilman Andrews said he wanted to make the statement that he was patriotic and he thought all other
 members were. Councilman McDon- ough also said he objected to being called a stacker and said he and other council members were working for the best interests of the city. Alder
 man Paonessa also got in another
 speech in a similar vein and discus sion was finally closed when it was voted to print the report in the min utes.
 MT Pelton stated however, that un- less the council takes some action and makes the necessary provisions for the garden movement another year it cannot be great success as l now is the time to prepare for the l future.
