Bisbee daily review., 1920-08-04

I
 council, ordinarily a peaceful and
 commonplace affair, was punctuated
 last night by fireworks touched off l by Alderman John Caretto; fireworks
 that sizzled viciously but failed to go
 off for the most part with an ade- quate bang.
 1 1t all started when T. B. Read,
 chairman of the police committee,
 made his report for the month of July and in conclusion called for re- marks. Nobody had anything to say with repard to the report until Ca
 retto rose to say that he had seen pa trolman Sherril converse with a boot Nlegger without arresting him. Sher- frill endeavOred to explain that it is his duty to converse with bootleggers, lwhereupon Caretto burst forth with ] the announcement that one John Stanley had told him that Patrolman Sherril had stolen eight gallons of whiskey Sherrill rejoined with ve- hement remark concerning the said John Stanley's veracity.
 At this point, to restore the deco rum of the council, the mayor rapped with his gavel and advised Sherril to go out and get Stanley and bring him before the council at once Sherrill went, as if on wings, and returned with Stanley.
 Did you tell MT. Caretto that Sher- Till stole eight gallons of whiskey," the mayor demanded of Stanley.
 "I said took, not 'stole,'" correct ed Caretto.
 John Stanley shuffled from one foot to the other and finally declared with some uncertainty that he had told Caretto that he had heard about it.
 Mayor Erickson made some appro- priate remarks about hearsay evi- dence after which the council decided that the proceedings were out or or der Chief Kempton took advantage of the occasion to point out that the records show that SherriI has arrest ed more bootleggers than any man on the force and has always done his duty. The mayor complimented Sher- Till on his good work in recovering a quantity of goods recently stoien ,lI the city. John Stanley was dismiss ed. He had appeared before the council earlier in the evening to find out why license to drive a rent car had been denied him by that body. He was informed that the city coun- cil had decided by resolution that not more than 15 rent cars should be op- erated in the city at one time and that there are now more than that in operation.
 While Sherrill was out to invite i Stanley to appear before the council that body continued with business. I. A. RosOk, chairman of the street l lighting committee, offered a report 1 on a trip from which he recently re- turned and which included many | cities in the United States. in the in | terests of street lighting in general. l The report told what these other l cities are doing in the way of street | lighting. It was a fine report, the council admitted it-all except Ca retto. He moved that the report be | tabled. There was no second to the | motion. / Councilman Read moved that the report be accepted. The mo- tion was seconded and adopted.
 With the formalities over the mayor asked Caretto why he wanted Rosok's report tabled.
 ''I don't like the way it came in and | therefore l objected to it. said Ca rettO.
 The next proceeding was to con slider bill presented by Rosok for $1OO for personal expenses incurred on the trip on which he had made the report. Caretto promptly moved that it be rejected
 "Rosok is working for the B. l. company" said CarettO, ''and all that camouflage about going in the inter-
