1S0ME TART THINGS
IN COMMON COUNCIL
Cltnivmnu Mnsteis, Mr. Whitfield
and Mr. Snlim Havo Something to
Say About Settlement o Suits
Against the City The Forbes
Dfininge Suit Precipitates the Dis
cussion. An otherwise dull session of com
Dion council wus enlivened last night
by expressions of opinion of several
members tin to the proposed settlement
or the pull for damages brought by
Mr.. Ann Forbes, n former resident,
but now of New York city.
To begin with common coiinull it t Its
lust mooting repudiated the suggestion
to ngroo on it settlement of the Forbes
case out of court, at tlip I'lime time In
dicating the city solicitor to proceed to
the iMt'ino of I ho city when the lie
ecsflty arose. t.nst night Mr. Hunter
of the judiciary ronimltlce made a le
imrt In which ho Informed council that
at a nieellni; of the committee on No
vnmliLf 2S, called, ho said by the city
solicitor, the damage .suit wits dla
ciiUud ami was left In the hands of
the city solicitor to elfe. t a settlement
tor a sum not to exceed JSOO.
Mi. tliuiler had scarcely finished be-fnW-
Cliult rutin Miitcrs exclaimed: "It
seems that some of the city olllclals are
afraid to do th'-lr duty. When council
taken a' tlon or. n mnttrr like this It
ought :i be a hint ,to the city solicitor
ilt.it In should contest this. ca-v. II
su-ms strange that such action should
Ii' ta!"!i w'in; council had already dN
puri'd of llir matter."
'WlnU'' Die Judiciary committee or
anyone ('no to do with this i-.u-e'.'" In-Miili-cd
Mr. Whitlleld, as s-non as the
I'h.'ilrir.ati llnh-hrd. "fummun t ouncll
decided that this suit mus-l not be
bottled out of court, so What business
li.'t" th" mniuilttrp to deal with It."
"Neithr the i Ity solUltui or coin-tnltt'-e,"
I'alloNMd .Mr. t'ahin, "have any
litt-iiu i: in my jud;:Mcnl to settle the';?
r:t.rs out uf court. A person who I
i ntlth d tti ihiiriims i-hould tjot them.
Probably one of tluve days we'll have
a claim of S'.'.OtO which inlj;ht he MUtled
for Sl.iVo when the pi. riles are entllL'd
to ninie. This is not ilj'ht. Councllmen
are not (nullified to pass on or appraise
ditmnse.s in such easts. it's time we
put our foot on this tiling: we aie hav
ing too many of tin ?r."
Mr. Hunter, in auswet to .' miskch
tion fiom chairman Maulers, mid that
the city solicitor cxpr. vd I he opinion
to the committee that It would be very
unwise to lest this ease when it was
the last of (-nver.il claims rcrowhts out
of the same matter.
The chair replied that this was not
the tact: that there was nnoir.";- un
settled IMS, the Uuftcr claim.
Council llnally decided to take no ac
tion on the icport presented by Mr.
Hunter. The, matter, the nieuibets
agreed, had been disposed of by coun
cil two weeks aj?o, when It decided not
to settle the suit. The judiciary com
inlttee, they said, had no buincss or
authority to take up the ni.ittt r.
Storm Doom Condemned.
Mr, Knhm Introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, directing, the storm
doors to bo erected in front of the poit
ofllco. lie supplemented the resolution
with a few words to the effect that new
doors be provided. "The prrent ones,"
he said, "are a dNuracr to the city.
They nro a menace as well. I'll wajrer
that I have seen twenty-five persons
struck on the head or body by these
doors lllp-floppltu? In a strong breez".
"We should use the old excuses and

in w style built at onet ."
