Aldermen Hush Attempt
To Air Meter Scandal
Resolution Calling for Inquiry
and Permitting Use of Badger
Device Are Tabled

The Badger water meter scandal
broke out again In the Board Of Alder
men yesterday, when Alderman Bruce
NJ. Falconer, Republican. and Alder
man Vladeck, Socialist, both intro
duced resolutions which would permit
the meter to be used In this city, and
calling for the appointment OF q
committee 60 investigate the charges
made before the Lockwood committee
that certain aldermen had been in
strumental in keeping the Badger
product out Of this market.
AS the clerk started to read the
Falconer resolution, Tammany alder
men Immediately moved that the read.
ing be suspended and it be laid on the
table. Vice Chairman William p.
Kenneally, who was presiding in the
absence of Aldermanic President La
Guardia, ruled that the motion to
lay it on the table was in order, but
be permitted the reading OF the reso-
luton. saying:
Perhaps the introducers of these
resolutions can give the Lockwood
committee some helpful information
on this subject. That is the place
for them to go, and hope they will
do so. We will permit the reading of
these resolutions and their reference
TO the proper committees for con-
sideration.'
On the roll call, however, the vote
was SO to 20 In favor of tabling the
resolutions, the Tammany majority
voting solidly against the Republicans
and Socialists. In objecting to the
ruling of Chairman Kenneally, Alder
man Falconer charged that the Tam
many men were endeayoring to shut
off free speech in the board and were
afraid to have the resolutions come
out in the light for discussion. He
declared that such methods made "a
joke" Of the Board of Aldermen.

report today by the census bureau.
