 Gill Champions Molander.
 Alderman Gill told the caucus he had an objection to voice. but ex- rlained that he intended to have final say on the matter in the council. He then discussed the Molander case.
 George Molander has been chair many months Alderman Gill began. As far as know there has never been any objection or criticism of his work and I want him continued in l hat office. This is the first time I have presented a minority report. because always believed that the will of the | majority should rule. But conditions here tonight justify me in presenting ! minority report to the council.
 T have no criticism of Nair. He's Ill right and probably efficient. but 10 more so than George. It's all fight to have lawyer as chairman of he claims committee. but you don't ,eed one: we have corporation council to advise him and George has ,een very susceptible to advice
 Alderman Dehm's committees were | 'atified by the caucus.
 The ballot taken showed Aldermen sill and Pajewski and Councilman Iolander opposing the committees; Backiel and Karpinski not ,oting, and the remaining members in avor.

One day he cit that it would be an easy thing to eat up one of the two since they did ot stand together, and he proceeded Q do so; but he found that before ,ng he was fighting both. He told he caucus that it was all right for he republican members of the coun- III 10 nave tnelT lltlle uluSTeHCcS Uc- ween themselvs, but urged that they -on out their difficulties before going ito the council and vote as a unified ody on party matters. That's all very good" Alderman Pa wski said in reply, ''but you can't ailroad things through and then get 1T confidence with that stuff. Councilman Nair moved that the aucus go on record as standing unit on the nominations made at the eeting. Alderman Dehm called for standing vote and all but Aldermen ill and Pajewski and Councilmen olander, Karpinski and Backiel ose.
