A Very Warm Session

At the council meeting Monday evenng the saloon ordinance, that had been carefully prepared by the city attorney under the direction of a committee of the couuci), of whom Aid. Maynard was chairman, was brought up and diseussed but failed to pass, the vote being a tie, as follows : Yeas- Aids. Cady, Danforth, Dell, Mayoard, Moore, Sliadford, Soule. Nays - Aids. Brown, Burke, Grossman, Koch, Laubengayer, Khodes and l'residerit Hiscock. The discussion was very warm at times and the arguments used on both sides have been familiar to couneilmeu ever since this question has been a questiou. Tlie next question tiiat carne up was whether the 4th ward should be given sewers or not, There was a big lobby on hand to inñuence the aetion of the aldermen against it, but it did not appear to effect the aldermen of the 4th ward any. The vote shows the alderraen from other wards especially those wards that have sewers, voted to deprive them of the improvement. It was as follows : Yeas - Aids. Brown, Burke, Dell, Grossman, Koch. Nays - Aids. Cady, Dauforth, Laubengayer, Maynard, Moore, Rhodes, S hadlord, Soule, and Pres. Hiscock. The vote seems to be more of a personal matter than anything else, paying the 4th ward alderman back for their vote on the saloon ordinance, for it will be noticed that the Ist, 6th and 7th wards, all of which have sewers, voted solidly against allowing the improvement to be extended to the 4th ward- which has an extreinely selflsh look if it can not be aceounted for by the other theory, for it is the duty of the council to order sewers where they are needed, and when a man accepts the office he of course accepts the respongibility. The attitude of the aldermen from the 4th ward, in braving the opposition tliey did, (and especially when one of them bas connection for bis residence writli the liaron st. district, alrendv c:ni stntrted) mialit to havfl hoon sufflcicnt evi1ence ti llifse otlier nun of llie necessity ii) tliis luise.
