Ho said that at thu last i meeting of thu Council, II, .1. Kim j ball had expressly stated that ho had taken the stand that ho would vote lu favor of tho majority s wishes and for that reason had vot ed lu favor of going ahead, consid ering M liner lu favor of grading and hard surfacing. He said Councilman Cook had taken tho sumo stand. Councilman Ferguson had taken a similar stand, but had then voted against tho Improvement, nut con sider ug M liner should be counted for or against. I'uder tho circumstances, he salil that tho Council to uphold their agreement should grunt tho petition of the rcmoustrutors. Ho said that j previously the Council had practical ly told hlui when he appeared on his hiuids'niid knees urging fairness and had needed only a foot, or so of having a majority, that "we are sorry C. II.. old boy, but you haven't 'a majority, audwo 'uu't do any I thing for you.'' "Now wo have a I majority," continued Mr. Peck, i "and we wish that promise kept. We 'simply want tho same treatment us was accorded tho other side when they were In our Bhoes." Dennett's Submarine Mr. Puck said that he understood that the opposition had a submarine to spring and he wished to bo heard I about it.
