PROPOSE COMPLETE
RECORD IN COUNCIL
Members of Rules Committee,
Meeting Today, Want Steno-
graphic Report Of Speeches
ACTION OPPOSED BY SOME

The keeping of public record ot
every speech and action of members OF
the Council of twenty one will be pro
nOsed at today's meeting of the rules
committee named by Mayor elect Moore
aud headed by Francis II. Burch, of the
Forty sixth ward.
Opinion as 60 the need of such
record is divided, as it also on the ques
tiun of whether to allow the present
body to organize committees, and TO that
extent govern the new body. Advocates
of record such as is kept by Congress
say it would act as a check upon mem
bcrs disposed to make wild statements
Opponents of the record plan point
to the voluminous public Record of Con
gress to illustrate the evil that might
result from similar move here. The
cost they claim would be prohibitive.
As an alternative scheme It is proposed
to have stenographers make u single
record of speeches and events without
having the records printed for the benc-
fit of mcmbgs and the public generally.
A stenographic report. several mem
bcrs of the committee believe, would
keep the records clear and at the same
time cost only the services of limited
number of assistants aud not increase
lu' uItdtS htdNS NooI VI pllullhb JUL
mails.
Chairman Burch. with other iude-
pendent members of the rules committee,
has made a study of ruies, and is Of
the opinion that nothing should be done
toward the organization of the new body
until that body meets. In this he has
the backing of the committeeman
Joseph =. Gaffney and Charles B. Hall.
of the rules committee. favor the plan
TO have the present Councils provide
for committees and govern quorums of
the next body.
The question of committees will come
up today along with the general sub
ject of rules. The rules committee, not
being a body formed by Councils, holds
executive sessions and the result of it,
deliberations may not be known def
nitely for some time. Two complete
sets of rules will be taken up today. One
provides for committee formation by the
present body, the other for committee
formation independent of any legisla
tiou that may be enacted between now
and the time the prcscpt Councils so out

Dealers Announce Winter Schedule
Renlnnlna on Wednesday

Beginning Wednesday. there will be
no milk delivery until after daylight, or
about 8 n. m This was announced to-
day by the Philadelphia Milk Exchange.
According to the announcement, the
storms of winter have destructive ct.
feet upon the delivery equipment, as well
as the health and welfare of the drivers,
and the daylight service system is de
manded by economy. The system also
eliminates the losses from frozen and
stolen milk, according to the announce
ment.
The milk dealers of the city have
appealed to the public to cooperate
in maintaining a daylight delivery and
keep Philadelphia in the front ranks of
milk distribution. The dealers assert
that Philadelphia gets cheaper milk
than any of the eastern cities, cheaper
BY one to four cents quart, and
mainly because of efficient delivery.
