mittee session which was the usual
method. Alderman Clark declared
that that might be the usual method
but it was not the proper way to;
transact business.
Mr.. Wester declared Alderman
Clark's motion was out of order. The
latter objected and appealed. ssShei
vote was put as to whether or Nv.
the decision of the chair in ruin.
Mr.. Clark's motion out of order,
should stand. The decision was sus-
tanned. five votes to two.
During the discussion on wages.
the matter of police matters and the
stand of the various members on this
subject crept in and for a time 1t
was a case of discussing any subject
at all which might enter into the
matter, however distant. 1t was ne
essary for the chairman to call
order time and again before
members could be quieted dow
Despite the fact that his m
was declared out of order ana .
Alderman Clark continued n (.
during the remainder of the IL ~ y.
having, figuratively speaking, ="
on his shoulder" for anything /,
might come up and which he CO. d
object to.
The discussion continued after the
meeting had been adjourned. Alder
man Waters declared that he had not
been given an opportunity to say all
that he wished in replying to Alder.
man Clark's statements. Alderman
Waters said:
1T is certainly not fair or just to
the tax and rent payers of Perth
Amboy who eventually pay the bill
to force any contractor doing work
for the city to pay a higher scale Of
wages than the prevailing rate in
this community. We have state
law which compels all contractors
doing city work to pay this prevails
ing rate but we have a conflicting
city ordinance which attempts to
define what the prevailing rate shall
be and at present the rate as de-
fined in the city ordinance is much
higher than the prevailing rate In
this community. Mr.. Clark's motion
to which ] objected was very inno-
cent in words. but it -AealIY meant
that the contractors Would ND.U1I
pay higher ra-e of wages TIN, KAll n
prevailing rate in this comireYo.
because the city ordinance refsfse.
to above would hold them to it.. \
Alderman Clark seems rather
consistent at times for only lsts
week he had an opportunity to mad
terially assist some of the rent pay-1
ers of this community. but instead
of giving them his support he pre-
ferred to rule that the landlord.
should be given a free hand. 1t was
gratifying, however. that all Of the
members of the board did not feel
the same about it."
