A peculiar situation arose at the | inaugural meeting of the city coun- ell Monday morning when the mat. ter of striking the standing commit- tees came before the aldermen. In concluding his remarks following the inaugural address, His Worship i Mayor Angrove pointed out that the | council factions were divided into two parties of eleven and ten mem- bers respectively. He asked that the committees be selected from the best men, regardless of party. Ald. F. J. O'Conner, rising when the business of nominating a com- mittee to strike the standing com- mittees, delivered his opinion quite frankly. He stated that the traf- ficking in public positions by the aldermen during the past year had been disgraceful, and that, for his part, he wag a free lance and not identified with either of the fac- tions. "The majority of this council have sold their birtiright to free voting here," said Ald. O'Connor. He asked the mayor to be the fifth man of a committee that he would name to adjourn and strike the standing committees. His Warship declined, saying that such a procedure would put him in a very awkward position. Ald. O'- Connor thep moved. seconded by Ald. William Holder, that Alds. Peters, Richardson, J. B. Holder, Johnston, and Kelly be a committee to strike the standing committees. The vote on this stod ten to ten, Ald, Kent being absent. Mavor An. grove was called upon and declared the motion carried. The vote: Yeas: Mavor Angrove, Alds. Dris. coll. J. RB. Holder. Willlam Holder, Kelly, Kidd, Latimer, O'Connor, Price, Richardson.
