A Great Council Meeting

Last night's council meeting will long live in the history of civic affairs as one of thelivliest ones since the council was established. There were three separate rows on foot. The most earnest one was between the sheriff and marshal. Seventyfive dollars was appropriated to fit up a room in fireman's hall for a lockup. The marshal claimed that the sheriff refused to let the city officers have the prisoners they placed in jail, preferring tol make complaint and get the fees himself. Sheriff Judson came before the council and denied the new ruling he was said to have made. The running exchange of coinpliments between the sheriff and marshal became so warm that the council adjourned. A very bitter feeling exists between the city and county ofïicers. Another wordy war grew out of the building of the main sewer in the fifth ward. A petition signed by ninety-five residents and property holders of the fifth ward protested against the sewer there. .Ud. Manly charged that the petition was inspired by the board of public works. After debate the council persisted in ordering the sewer. A long debate was held over proposed amendments to the city charter. Aid. Prettyman wanted a committee of citizens; Aid. Manly didn't. A committee of the council on charter amendments was ordered, but enough aldermen could p.ot be found who would consent to serve on it.
