COUNCIL COACHED
BY COMMISSIONERS
Sabotsky Makes Charge at
Rules Committee Meeting :

The meeting of the special COM
rules OF the common council last
evening was enlivened by the state
ment of Councilman Sablotsky, DEM
ocrat, of the sixth ward. that on
two occasions since he has been in
the council, members of city COM
missions sitting directly behind
council members at meetings. have
called to them to vote. Once, when
there was a dispate in the council
relative to the purchase of a piece
of fire apparatus commissioner
called to certain council members
an6 again when park matters were
being voted on. council members
We're told how to vote. the council
man charged. II believe there
should be a stop put to this prac-
tice," he declared.
Alderman w. H. Judd, republican
leader. replied that Councilman
Sablotsky has often left the council
chamber to confer with outsiders,
but the councilman denied the ac-
cusation. saying he is under the in
nuence of nobody and he votes and
always will vote as he sees fit. The
repartee, while spirited. was ex-
changed good naturally, Council
man Sablotsky saying that last year
petitioners for salary increases
knew before hearings were held.
what disposition was to be made IN
their cases. Alderman Judd replied
that he has often seen Councilman
Sablotsky leave his chair and con-
suit outsiders and the next time he
does so, the alderman promised to
call" him for 1t, adding that the
councilman can do likewise if he
sees him do so.
Councilman Boyle democrat, told
Councilman Sablotsky that the way
10 silence commissioners and others
who attempt to direct the voting Is
10 tell them from the floor to keep
their places and not interfere with
council business. Councilman Sa-
blotsky said nobody has attempted
10 tell him how to vote but some
of the fifth ward members have been
coached.
The only charge the committee
will recommend in the council rules
is intended to clarity them. Under
the paragraph specifying the duties
of the presiding officer, a clause is
recommended to require him to call
for further business before a motion
to adjourn is entertained, directly
after the city clerk gives notice THAT
his desk is clear. Ordinarily, the
presiding officer makes this inquiry.
although he is not required to do
SO under the existing rules.
