HUE MEETING OF COUNCIL Council met in regular session Monday evening. All members -werepresent except McAfee. Dur­ ing the absence of Mayor McFarland tho president of the council, J , H. Andrew presided. I t was due to this fact tha t the meeting termina­ ted as it did for the presiding dfllcer put a now interpretation of parlimen- tary law and overruled a motion to adjourn. v The meeting was one spectacular to say the least. As predicted some time ago by the Herald tlie meeting promised.interesting things owing to the dispute over a gutter in front of J, II. Andrew’s residence. I t will be remembered that Wel- mor, as chairman of the street com­ mittee; ordered the gutters on Main street cleaned of grass, Andrew stopjied the work and proceeded' to pu t the sod back, Bailey as street commissioner again had the sod removed and after threatening Andrew with violence made him leave the gutter and stop intefering with public labor. At the time the Subject was well discussed and the principals gained more or less no­ toriety,' I t was speculated as to what council would do from the night of Jibe quarrel when a special meeting was, held, until Monday evening, the time of the .regular meeting. The night of the called meeting Shroades and Walker had expressed themselves,, as in accordance with Weimar’s orders. At the special meeting , both back tracked and voted at the nod of the Boss. At the Monday evening meeting all business liad been transacted ' except the gufcterproposltion. This had not been' mentioned for discus­ sion and a motion to adjourn was made by Weimer and seconded by Mortbn. Andrew as chairman was not ready for the motion and polite­ ly stated that he overruled it. This was indeed something new in par-' limentary law and contrary to Cushing and Roberts, Butrthen when yon are operating a machine and using public officials and public money for private gain it sometimes becomes necessary fcq. Andrew Brothers methods and .the tax payers ate paying far it a t the rate of $8,iff in the election of the present council. The meeting was stormy" and somb broad statements made. The oft’stomary. term of Andrews was passed, th a t of the “ liar.” ' While Andrew has more or less reputation of the use of billings-gate in council meetings he seemed more composed. This was probably due to the fact th a t Weimer had made some plain statements ns to how some ot the members of council were conducting themselves, Weimer made a speech that seared every member to the hone for being dominated by some otie else. He .openly charged (I. H. . Shroades, the hardware merchant, and Thomas Walker as being double- dealers. I-Ie sited them to what they had said as to orders In open­ ing the Andrew; gutter and how they hacked down and voted the op­ posite at , the special meeting. Shroades was in a rago in an in­ stan t when Ins name was mentioned. I t will be remembered that the Herald quoted both Walker and Shroades in otir account of the quarrel July 13 between Andrew and Bailey, Reference wasmado by Weimer to the time .when he was forced to re­ move a fence that had been re­ constructed on the old line. Ho rbforr.-d to Andrew as having stated th a t he (Weimer) or any other man could steal sfct inches from the cor­ poration. Andrew managed to de,iy the Story bu t. we ilnd tha t others are aware of the incident. In this Weiiner had reference no doubt to Andrew, who constructed his steps over the property line and probably some one 'else got the six inches referred to above, There lias been somo talk since the Monday evening meeting of forcing' Andrew to remove his steps as they are over the lino, the very thing which' he held Weimer guilty of. Speeches were promiscuous and given a t random. There wore few* outsiders present, for such things are certainly of interest to the peo­ ple who aro paying for them. I t seems like paying for admission to a circus and then not being able to seo it* 0, Morton, who holds two jobs under Boss Andrew ami is one of his firm supporters, saw .th a t the troubled waters ' must have some balm and offered a-Way out of the difficulty. Andrew oifered a motion authorizing Shroades to iix the gutter. Bhroadefl thought ho had done his part and suggested that some other members of council might get fn and got their ‘'feet wet” also* Walker seconded the Andrew motion. I t was really a game of Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday, 'with Andrew and Walker, Walker takes tlio hint the .quickest of any inomboi when ah Andrew want is to he granted. Tho morion of Andrew and sec­ onded by \ ..iker was against par­ liamentary law but that made no difference, Results are jieeded and the shortest and quickest way is the best way with the gang members, Morton managed to got tlie salve on'the wound and moved with Walker’s second, that Andrew be instructed to put back the sod, An­ drew has had experience in tills line' before and the motion was well taken1py Shroades and Walker, Weimer had refused "to obey tlie order of council, He stated that no man could make a cats-paw out of him, which was sufficient for Mor­ ton, Shroades and Walker, the ones that dared stand for the public when an election was nigh at hand. That two dollars a night, might convince any man right was wrong or wrong Was "right. The Boss elects, the people pay, so it is compulsory to obey the Boss. Peculiar to com­ plaints of the gutters in other streets were ignored by Shroades, Walker and Morton owing to “ no funds” , while the Andrew gutter was ordered fixed regardless of tlie cost. ■The meeting may lie hold in ques­ tion from the fact that an adjourn­ ment was asked for and refused on the part of tho chairman. I t is not expected th a t the dork’s minutes will show that such a. motion was offered and seconded and “over­ ruled" by the chairman. The clerk wants his pay and dare not place the minutes in any way detrimental to - the Andrew interests, Judas never looked more contented unless it was when- reading, ,*'How to take the first degree” or “What to do When black-balled?” Secret ordor men will explain these terms. Other matters before council were complaints of the condition of tbe_ streets and gutters, "Weimer stated that there were no funds for this work, Andrew wanted the extra brick unused for the crossing* returned to the D. S. Ervin Co. as a bill from this concern had to bo held over a t the last meeting. This was dde to a shortage of finances even under-a ?3,lff tax rate. A certificate of indebtedness flas been nectssary to meet bills. Reports from different committees worn read and approved. Thrown-. There was thought to be something wrong with the number, of days handed in, The cistern a t the intersection of Xeniaavenue and Miller street is in liad condition as something Uke de­ composed flesh has been found in tho water causing a strong odor. The matter was brought up by tlie board oikhealth but a t Andrew’s suggestion the subject was dropped. This was probably due to the fact that it was not in. front of tlie An drew residence and Jk made little difference -about those on Xenia avenue, ’ . , The corporation finances begin to look like that of a wholesale grocery firm that is now defunct. The peo­ ple have paid the taxes. The mem­ bers of council have spent it. What have we to show for it? I t would notbe best a t this time to oxpjain, A suggestion lias been made that a petition be circulated asking the state auditing department for an examiner to see where the money is goihg. Such an examination will no doubt reveal thing* not yet brought to light. The finances stand as follows: ■General fund $147.71 Safety fund 242.66 Service land 112,48 Health fund 89.09' 1$ V 1 AN |JF 5 1 i v% X / f - \ .V i W & - N\ V [WEATHER REPORT. !y-» '" fj NOT DISSOLVED.
