session Of City Council tonight. when
that body meets as a committee of
the whole.
Judging by the sentiment ex-
pressed at the meeting of Council
last Thursday night nearly every
member present would have voted
for the payment of the bill Of s45,-
600, for the building Of the incin-
orator IL it had been offered, but
today the situation has become so
muddled that it is hard to ascertain
Just what the members now propose
doing.
Mayor Harvey, who, on Thursday
night. openly advocated the rejec-
ton of the plant at once and a tacit
invitation for the Ney people 20
bring suit against the city, and who
is publicly credited with the rejec-
ton by City Solicitor satterthwaite
of the plant on Monday, has a. least
one loyal supporter in Council, J.
Edward McNabb, who said this
morning that he agreed with the ac-
ton taken and that If an attempt
is made by City Council TO pay the
s45, 900 Thursday night an injunction
viii be asked for.
DR.. c. M. Handy. President Of the
Board OF Health, also apparently
sides with the Mayor, and, as stated
in the report OF the Board OF Health
to City Council, seemingly favors the
rejection of the plant.
Both Mayor Harvey and DR..
Handy, who held a conference in the
Mayors office this morning. refused
TO answer the question as 70 who au-
thorized City Solicitor Satterthwaite
to send the telegram rejecting the
plant.
Mayor Harvey, when asked
whether the meeting Of the advis-
ory board had been called for this
afternoon for the purpose OF dis
cussing the garbage plant. refused
to answer the question. He said that
various matters come before the
board. he declared the session this
afternoon will be private.
While the subject is being dis
cussed. It was learned sthis morning
the new company is earning 6 per
cent. on the $4,000 which, accord
ing to the contract the city Will
have to pay from the tenth day Of
July. amounting already TO a sum
said to exceed $500.
1t was also said this morning that
in the event OF the incinerator COM
pany's bill being presented to City
Council for payment tomorrow night,
Il will require only a majority vote
to pass IL, and apparently major
itv of Council favors its passage.
No matter what the final outcome
may be, a warm session Of Council
is expected, and. as was declared by
/ Councilman McManus, the respon-
sibility for the rejection of the
plant will be fixed.
city Solicitor Satterthwaite. who
was out of the city yesterday, said
this morning that he sent the tele-
gram to the Nye Company rejecting
the plant as he was under the i'm
preston that such was the senti-
ment of the conference held in the
mayors Office on Monday, and fur
ther stated that he was under the
impression that the members OF
Council present had been authorized
bv CITY Council to take what action
they deemed advisable on the garb-
age situation.
According to members OF Council
today no such authority was grant
ed the members present, nor was any
authority granted any committee &c
take action on the acceptance or re-
lection OF the incinerating plant
The only committee ever appointed
consisted OF former Councilman
Charles Forwood and Councilman
4 Alexander r. Abrahams 10 super
wise the construction OF the plant
neither OF whom was present at the
meeting.
