A VERY LIVELY MEETING Congressman Connell, John Jermyn, Colonel Boies and Other Prominent Citizens Have Something to Say of Our City Government Delegation of We3t Side Board of Trade At tends nnd Protests Vigorously Against the Execution of the Con tract Chairman of the Delegation Was Very Rabid in His Views. By an unanimous vote and at one of tilt- most largely attended meetings It has held in years, the board of trade last night adopted the following reso lution: Whereas. Thu condition of our paveJ streets (so called) Is absolutely disgrace ful, a reproach to our city, to every res ident therein, and especially to our muni cipal government; Whereas, While our mayor Is hesltnt- them honestly suggested and advocated, then- seems, to be only one menns of prompt and full relief, that Is by exe cuting the contract with the Barber Asphalt Paving company, to take the place of thoso already executed but mis laid, therefore be It ltesolved. That we respectfully request ! and urge his honor, the mayor, to sign the contract above referred to .it once. believing that in sn doing he will greatly advance all the Interests of our city, nnd CITIZENS ATTENDED. ' About llfty citizens, not members of the board, accepted the Invitation to I attend the meeting nnd give the board ; the benefit of their views on the as- ' phult repair question. Among them wero Mayor Molr, and a delegation from tho West Side board of trade. The latter wore rabid anti-contract peo ( pie and they made no bones of It. i In fact the feature of the meeting was the part played by the leader of 'the delegation. William Farrell. He was chock full of talk and tight and , ! Ideas. At the close of the meeting, when the "West Slders created a great tumult be cause they were not permitted to have a vote In the board's deliberations, Mr. Fairell was particularly vociferous. Above all the din he could be beard crying out against "monopolies throt- ' tllng the people." In the groups that gathered after the meeting broke up, ' he was quito as much discussed as the subject of asphalt repairs Itself. The resolution printed above was in troduced when the board had reached i "new business." Colonel H. M. Boles presented It, and when he bad con- eluded Its reading there was a hearty ' outburst of applause. Captain AY. A. , May moved its adoption and Joseph ' Levy seconded the motion. Secretary Atherton read letters from A. W. Dickson nnd B. B. Sturges ex- pressing strong sentiments In favor of the Barber contract. Then Colonel Boles spoke at length on bis resolution. He had no Interest . In the Barber Asphalt company, i said. He was simply moved by bis In terest in the city. The question has been ably discussed in the papers anil j everybody who tends should have a; thorough understanding of every side of the controversy. COLON'EL BOIES' CONCLUSIONS. ! i The conclusion Colonel Boles drew from the discussion were these: Prop- ertv Is derireciatlnir iii value because ! of the condition of our streets and there Is need of immediate repairs. The city is not in a position to do the work at once, and even If the city wns ilmtn- dally able to undertake the task on Its 1 own account, then would be the do- , lays Incident to legislation and lurtlier 41 J delay can not be tolerated. The H.ir 47.1 her contract. Is the only relief ottered. JJ-I I CouiicIIk have acted. The matter now ''.') lies with the mayor. This resolution Is intended to bear upon tho mayor and ' lriilii,in Mm t rt I'll'I'V r.llf t Vl tt nvlll ft i Vl C i mum..- im i. j un, hiv ... s nw t'ounclls ftnu l,ie People. i John M. Kemmerer, at this Juncture. ' asked if the city had a contract for the repair of the pave and If so how did Its terms compure with those in other cities). Secretary Atherton produced copies of the resolution awarding the con tract to the Uarber Asphalt company and the joint resolution adopted May 2, requesting the mayor to execute a contract under this resolution to tnlto the plai.e of the one mislaid or lost. Then came tho discussion proper.and a hotter one never, probably, was re folded at a board of trade meeting. On the side of the contract were: Hon. William Connell, Colonel II. M. Boles, John .Terniyn. C. E. Chittenden, Colonel George Sanderson, Tteese G. Brooks, I.uther Keller, James H. Torivy, O. H. Atherton. A. 1'i. Stevens, .1. UenJ. Dim mlck. Against It were: William Far rell, ex-Councilman Joseph Oliver, ex Couricllman T. B. Juekson nnd C. Com egys, attorney for those wlio fought the contract in court. Hon. John It. Farr wus opposed to the contract because he thought ten years too long a term. Mayor Molr, who came In towards the close of the meeting did not wiv whether or not, under tho present clicumstances, be Is opposed to the contract. Jle has voted both ways on It and now suyH ho will sign It If given Instructions to do &o by councils. Personally ho has been, of late, unalterably opposed to th contract. inn. connems v h:vf. Congressman Connell opened tho ball by pointing out, from flgtiroa submit- ted by Secretary Athei-ton that Wilkes- , atone repairing while wultlng the es Barre with lis municipal repair plant , ttbllshment of a city plant. The pays $1.'J3 per square yard for repairs, broken stone proposition was ridiculed whlla tho Barber company proposes to i with loud bursts of laughter nnd uo mo worii lor ; ccuia in mis city with Its much heavier truffle. Tlio contract, lie went on to say, is not a dear one apparently, but wheth er It Is or not Is not the question now. Tbeso streets have got to bo repaired, and at once. This contract offers the 1 only means of doing It. The people are clamoring for tho carrying out of these repairs. Councils have done their duty. It is a pertinent question for us to .islf, "Who Is to blame?" Homebody Is re sponsible. Who Is It? John Jermyn unswered: "The may or, of course." "Can any one Inform us," queried Mr. Connell, "why the innyor does not execute this contract, lis requested and directed by the Joint councils." "I'd like to answer that question," spoke tiri ex-Councilman Joseph Oli ver, and a murmur of applause camp from the West Slder.s. "The mayor has not been directed to sign that contract. A vote of tin- ma jority of cuch branch ot councils Is required, and on the resolution In ques tion select council gave only ten votes." This was followed with loud from the West Sldt-rs. cheers ' Chairman Keller lntenuptetl long enough to call attention to the fact that a copy of the resolution request- ingthemuyortu sign thut contract was 1.. i.,... ...... il,....,,,,,'.. ......... ...,,i ...1 . i, t'LLiLLiiiji miiviiuur (t,nnr,iuii mill It was marked "Adopted May 2, 18,93, by Joint Councils. H. H. Williams, chairman." llesumlng, Mr, Connell said: "Judg ing from the applause, there are per sons here who Hie opposed to Colonel Boles' resolution. I am satisfied they do not know all there Is to this nf fair. If they did, I have no doubt many of them would bo or a different mind MAYOR KNOWS THIS UEASON'S. "There were statements made to me today by three different parties on whom I Implicitly rely, to the eltect that there arc reasons not generally known for the delay In the execution of the repair contract. The mayor knows the reason. He knows why this delay occurs. Tho public will know why, If this paving Isn't pro ceeded with at once." Ixing continued cheers followed Mr. Council's address. Then Colonel San derson took the floor and rehearsed the history of tho asphalt repair legis lation from the beginning to end. Select Councilman Chittenden next i spoke. He said he was an advocate of I a cltv plant, but as that Is an initios- ! nihility ho considered the Barber con- ' tract the best available solution of the question. The mayor. Mr. Chittenden nald, was ready to sign the contract, If n majority of both councils had voted for that resolution. "Isn't It the duty of the mayor to repluce a contract lost by a city otlle lal'.'" Colonel Boles asked. "Yes," said Mr. Chittenden, "but yon understand this was complicated by Mayor Bailey's action in vetoing the appropriation." ; Mr. Connell "That didn't vitiate the . contract, did It? As I look at It, nil ' that wns necessary was to restore tho appropriation." ! Mr. Keller "The Barber company's ' attorney says they are willing1 lo pro- ceed without n new appropriation, be- ! lng satisfied that Bailey's veto was In- j effective." Mr. Connell "Is that contract viti ated? Or is II a valid contract?" ' Mr. Chittenden "A part of it was de clared illegal by the court." Mr. Connell "Yes, but that was th" old contract. A new one, to conform with the councils' decision, was drawn up nnd executed. What is the neccs- . sity of n new vote?" Mr. Chittenden "Different mayor, you know." Mr. Connell "Every time we get a new mayor, we don't have to renew nil our contracts, do we?" Mr. Chittenden "T know that, but X certainly sympathize with the mayor In bis position" Mr. Connell "This Isn't a matter of sympathy. It Is a purely business prnnositlon." .Mr. Chittenden "Well, then, as a matter of business, the mayor is right. I wouldn't sign the contract either, un der the present circumstances, without the assurance of councils that t had it majoilty of each branch behind me." SHOWED SOME FEELING. Mr. Chittenden and Mr. Connell, dur ing their dialogue, kept their feet and talked directly one to the other. Mr. Chittenden made his last remnrka somewhat feelingly and sat down. Mr. Connell continued standing und said: "The great trouble Is that thero Is too much politics in this thing. I make this statement without qualifi cation. There Is altogether too much bid under the sent." Mr. Jermyn was asked to give his views. He did so briefly and to the i point. "Our bad naves." he said, "aro ' sncrlllcing property from fifteen to ' twenty-five per cent. We must have them repaired. We want the mayor i to sign that contract. I don't know ' that I want any municipal plant, If the I ' manner in which tho streets aro clean- ' ed Is a criterion of the way they would be repaired under city ownership of a repair plant." After making comments on the way tne ciiy is governeu, jir. jermyn saia; I can run this city as it is being run ...... OAi AAA ., ....,! .-.1. .-wt .. 1. n U I.. , uuvv .juv.'tvvv it j'u-i i;ii.-aiJi:i man n i being run at present. I'll put up $500, 000 In the First National bank in tho morning to back up what I say. (Cheers and laughter). Mr. Atherton told of two industries being lost through the condition of the streets. jvir. uuver urguei tnat tne Uarber company was neglecting re pairs It had been ordered to make by the Gas and Water company in order to make the streets look as bail as possible. At this juncture Mayor Moir came in and at the suggestion of C. V. Whlt- icmore he was asked to take the floor. "I didn't come here to talk.'' said His Honor. "I merely wanted lo hear what was going on. I will nay though that I nm waiting for the legislative branch i it tne goveinmeiii to act. wnen tne proper time comes. I will sign tho con tract, if It is all right. I huvo not been instructed to sign It as yet." "If that Is the case," said Mr. Cou ncil, "the mayor Is certainly exonerat ed fiom all blamo for this delay. That is the first time I have heard that that wus his reason. I understood dif ferently." -Mr. Dlmmiclt suld he couldn't see what the mayor wns hesitating about. Au he understood It, It simply meant that tho proper city officials were called upon to dpullcate the lost con tract. "That's it! That's il exactly," came from a number of those nearby In voices that snld: "That's what we've ' been trying to say all evening.'' Next rose William Fan el. He spoke ut length In general terms In favor of n municipal plant, residents as labor- t era on tho repair work and broken ) groans. Mr. Torrcy next inude a clear and conclso statement of the mutter from a legal standpoint. According to his view, the mayor has no right to delay In signing tho contract Mrruroolts ald that while ho - Interested In the paving brick business, ho thought there was only one thing to do under the present circumstances and that was to accept tho Barber 1 contract. MAY WANT A (.'HANOI!. ' Mr. Farr thought thu mayor wus ! doing right to go alow In dealing with i the Unrbt-i- company. Ho was opposed to tho contract because of tho ten 1 year term. We may want a brick 1 or stone pave on some of those streets I before tho ten years have elapsed, said Mr. Fair. j Mr. Comegys thought the present I mayor had no power to execute thu contract. Mr. Jackson was opposed to j anything savoring of asphalt, nnd par . tlcularly the Barber company article. Mr. Stevens was "agin" the Barber company, nut favored tiien- present proposition. TmM vn,l?a " speecnmaKimr. W,,WI f'hulrnmn Keller was about to cn" fop il vute " '"' resolution, Mr. wrell ntose and moved to lay It on the tuble. Home member asked if tho , genuemuu who maue me iiumioii wau j a member or the lioaru. lie answerett "no," but understood It was a cltlstens' meeting and not a board of trade meet ing. Chairman Keller corrected this Im pression, and called for the vote. There was a loud nnd ununimous) 'aye." When the noes' wore called, Mr. Fnr rell was the only one to vote. There wus no end of noise created by all the West Side specchmakers want ing to talk at onco on the unfairness of not allowing them a vote. Mr. Par rel! was the only one who succeeding In making himself heard. He bad to tax Ills remarkable voice at that. FEARS AN EPIDEMIC OF FEVER, Dr, John J. Walsh Serves Notice on the Board of Health.
