Fails t0 Muster Enough Strength
 to CheCkmate Mayor

pllng dlpnB hlllCl party lllltN' lllH republican members of tho common council failed last night in an at tempt to override Mayor A. NJ. Pao- ncssa's veto Of a resolution 10 revoke Apcrmit issued 10 the Y. M, T, A. & R. society for an open air carnival and as a result the carnival will be held.
 Republican absenteos made It lm- possible for the C. Q. P. 10 muster the necessary 2l votes, There were IS republicans and eight democrats present and the vote stood IS for overriding and eight for sustaining the veto.
 Alderman William II. Judd of. the third ward who was responsible for | the vetoed motion and who pleaded unsuccessfully with his council, sus- i tained second defeat when he iu- troduced a resolution to strike from the books the councils request that no more carnivals be held. Repuhli- can members deserted him on this proposal and 1t was defeated.
 The council debated at length on the respective merits of a Packard and a Cadillac for the fire depart ment chief, and a vote showed 14 members favoring each. Mayor Paonessa broke the tie voting for the Cadillac and Its purchase wai ordered.
 Mayor Reads Veto
 At the opening of the meeting 1 Mayor Paonessa, read his veto as l follows;
 "Gentlemen of the Common Council:
 "I am returning herewith, diap- proved, your resolution adopted April IS. ordering revocation of li- cense granted the Y. NJ. T. A. < E. society for a carnival.
 My decision to present this veto was not reached until after l had carefully considered every phase oi the carnival problem, and is is con sistent with the plicy I have urged upon the body for several years past
 "On the general question of car nivals. let me say that I am heartily in favor of this method Of raising funds for fraternal and military or ganzations. Carnivals operating merely for the profit of traveline showmen, would not meet my ap' proval, but when they come into the city sponsored by fraternal or mill tary groups, and present a financia plan that appeals to the leaders oi these bodies, then I believe the mu. nicipal government should not ob' ject. Of course l would place q limitation, and a strict one, upon the number of carnivals coming here Two carnivals a season, believe would be all right,
 "My personal experience in at tending these affairs has been that thousands of our citizens derive en' tertainment through their patronage ] The argument that huge profits art taken out of the city is weak, since there is no admission to the grounds dllO 9uIll al llNlVfS nS llnJ bI pun SlAH' ed or such shows as may be pa tronized are displayed before the eye on the basis of q strict business agreement,
 Your resolution concerned spe. cifc case-that of the Y. M. T. A. X B. society-and therefore require, my consid iteration of this particular matter. The Tabs as the organiza' ton is better known. has been in this city for more than 40 years and ha. been a great factor for good. It' benevolences are well known.
 T believe the past record of the Y M. T. A. & B. society and the pur' poses to which the revenue of thi' carnival Is to he put. that Of new building, justifies our cooperation We should be willing 10 assist rather than anxious to block the society! progress such as this resolution aim! 10 do. There are a number of othe, fraternal organizations in the city 0 ] whom I could give similar accoun , and who deserve our cooperation They may from time to time conn before us for licenses, and until { reasonable quota Is fulfilled, shoui' also be assisted
 | "Then too, there is the question Q military organizations, of whicl | there are several In the city On' | a few years ago we were making al | sorts Of promises 10 our servicemer Yet we now have before us a resolu ton which, If adopted, will refus
 these men the privilege Of roldin carnlvals to make 1t possible 10 | them 10 pay the expenses of their or
 ganizations. We owe the duty of co operation 10 these military men. an the city's governmental body shoul he the last 10 attempt to dodge thi | duty.
