MAYOR, AND TRIGG REFRAIN
FROM VOICING THEIR VIEWS
At a full meeWng of the Rapid Tran
sit Company directorate this afternoon
the . five Insurgent directors carried a
resolution nskins that proxies be sent
te them, although the result did net
disturb the cquanamity of Themas E.
Mitten, president of the company.
"I have te say just what I said the
ether day. It Is all ever. I say that
twice," remarked Mr. Mjtten at the
close of the meqtlng, which laBted for
one hour and five minutes, the longest
In several years.
The proxy resolution was carried by
the votes 'of William J. Montgomery,
chnlrman of the benrd; J. J. Sullivan,
W. Y. Trlpplc. Frank Buck nnd C. .T.
Matthews, a total of five.
The directors who opposed ' the
resolution were Mr. Mitten, G. A.
Richardson, n vice president; W. C.
Dunbar, n vice president, nnd Colonel
Shelden Petter, n city representative en
the Itenrd.
Mayer and Trigg De Net Vete
Mayer Moere and Ernest T. Trigg,
the ether city representatives, did net
vote.
"Any member of the beard has the
right te ask for proxies," said Colonel
Petter, indicating that the vote did net
change the situation at nil, except te
clarify the legal status of the recent
meeting of the benrd when the insur
gents only were represented.
"The meeting was just like that of n
peaceful family" continued Colonel
Petter, n sentiment which was dpllcatcd
a moment later by Mr. Montgomery
when he said:
"It was a love feast. Nothing that
happened in the meeting could be con
strued as Indicating any difference In
the beard."
Mayer Premises Explanation
As Majer Moere hurried from the
meeting, held in the Land Title Build
ing, he said he intended te glve n pub
lic explanation of what tiuA nln
He Rpbke of the vote nstn testef
Htrengtn and said tuat Blllk Ames Bal
lard, counsel for the P. R. T had
given an opinion indicating that the
reppnf "ln.ii.Mnf'1 miuiiHn ....... -4
valid.
The Mayer said after the proxy rese
lutien bad carried with himself and
Mr. Trigg "present but net voting,"
a question of refinancing, a matter that
Involved $5,000,000, was brought te the
fore.
Mr. Moere said the discussion then
became technical niwl enmnllentml. nnri
that he asked for-postponement of the
matter until he ceuldstudy the propo prepo
sition thoroughly.
The Mayer as Peacemaker
Mr. Mitten nnd Mr. Montgomery be
gan explaining the plail, the Mayer con
tinued, n coincidence thnt caused Mr.
Mitten te remark that the Mayer was
unnging .Mr. Mitten arul Mr. .Mont
gomery together already.
"I told them I thought it would be
a geed thing If they get together in a
let of things," the Mayer went en. "I
want te leek after the best Interests of
the city and I told them I believed it
would be better if the cltv would dcnl
with n'harmonleus P. R. T."
As Mr. Ballard hurried for nn ele
vator, he was asked jocularly if there
had been any casualties at the mcctimr.
It was the first full session since the
Montgomery group started a contest for
control of the ceinnanv.
"When eleven gentlemen get together
there nre no casualties," replied Mr
Ballard with a-smile.
Mr. Trigg would net comment en the
lreceedlngs. He chuckled .as questions
were nreti nt nun, but made no reply.
At the Executive Committee meeting
preceding the directors' session, it was
announced that the company's net In
