Petition For Permission to Erect Gasoline Filling Station
Grove Street Withdrawn

The special meeting of the common
council. Tuesday evening, called for
the purpose Of having the water COM
missioners present to explain why
nothing had been done to carry out the
vote of the council to build a steel
standpipe on Bates Hill, lasted but
twenty-five minutes. Before the meet
ing was half over Alexander Gilman,
chairman of the board, and Chester
nj. Elliott, a member of the board,
told the members Of the council that
the council may expect their resigna-
tons in writing at the next meeting.
II was Mr.. Gilman who first made
known his intentions. He stated that
he was talking for no one but himself,
and said In substance that as he did
not wish to assume any responsibility
by being in any way a party TO the
plan the council has adopted, adopt
ed contrary to the wishes of a major
ity of the voters of the city, and con-
trary to the views and opinions of the
members of the board Of water COM
missioners, he would save the council
further embarrassment by rendering
his resignation in writing at the next
meeting. Mr.. Gilman said he valued
his time too much TO go on wrangling
as in the past There has been SO
much talk and he had been the king
bee" and was sick of seeing his name
in print.

some member of the council came the
words Thank you"
Mr.. Elliott said he was in accord
with what Mr.. Gilman had said and
stated that he would tender his resig-
nation at the same time. Herbert
Smith, third members Of the board, is
on a vacation at Bar Harbor, Maine,
so was not present As the board
has been unanimous in its opinions
and policies II is believed that Mr..
Smith will continue 10 stand with the
other members of the board and will
also resign.
When the meeting was called TO
order three members of the council,
Aldermen Chadwick, Delisle and Vad-
nais, were absent. The clerk read the
call for the special meeting and the
mayor said, Eve have the water
commissioners with us and suppose
they will answer the question"
From this time until Mr.. Gilman
gave notice Of his intention TO resign
there was an argument between Mr..
Gilman, the mayor and one or two
aldermen as TO whether the commits
sioners had been given the notice 70
proceed to work that they had stated
they required.
Receive No Orders
Mr.. Gilman was emphatic in has
statement that the commissioners had
taken an unalterable stand that they
would not proceed until they had
been given orders in writing to dc

never received such orders" Wher
asked what he considered sufficient
