Council Open) Protracted Meeting
nnd Docs Things.
All members of the city council
were present Monday evening when
Mayor King rapieil his gavel to
call the meeting to order and the
records of the previous meeting
were approved as read.
The matter of vacating a iwrtion
of Kdihon street ijctwceti blocks 21
nnd 28 was discussed. Another
street has been laid out to take the
place of the one to be vacated the
laud being donated by llartmau,
Thomson & Powers and as soon
as it is shown that this street is
protxirly ricdicatcdito the city it is
probable that the vacation will be
ordered. Upon motion of Council
iiinn I,eggitt the matter was laid
over till the next meeting.
Ways and Means committee re
portal that according to instructions
of the council a' meeting was held
with Attorney MeGorry on the
evening of Saturday, July 8. He
then presented a bill for $396.30
in lieu of the; onciprcviously ren
dered for 240. The committee
remonstrated against this increase
but this had no effect: they made a
preliminary ofTer of $120 to settle
although they stated that their
action was subject to ratification by
the full council.
"At this," said Councilman
Peterson, "Sir. McGarry seemed
angry and asserted that unless the
hill was mild hi full he fMctlnrrv)
would sec to it tltat the bonds were
not sold: that St. Johns should not
receive 11 dollar: that he would
cause trouble in other ways and
that, if the bonds sjiould be sold,
lie would iruriiishee the monev."
Mr. Peterson's report was corrobor

THREAT?
Rerortvtf Cwttmittce Accuses Attor-
r;iy of iDanuglng Intention.
If the report of a majority of the
Ways andMcans committee of the
St. Johns city council is to be
believed one of the knockers against
thlsicity has liecn discovered. At
this time no one doubts the asser
tion of these two men.
"Uulcs; this claim is paid in full
I will sec to it that the bonds of St.
Johns do not sell: I will fix it so St.
Johns will never get n dollar for
them: and I will do what I can to
hurt the city lu other ways!"
This is practically what Council
men Peterson uud Thompson declare
Attorney McGurry boldly asserted
to them on the night of Saturday,
July 8, when they met with him
in Portland. "Do you mean to
threaten us?" (lUcried Councilman
Peterson. "On, no. I wouldn't
threaten I" returned the attorney.
The facts leading to this threat
are us follows: In May, C. K.
Organ, then holding position as
marshal or chief of x)licc of St.
Johns, presented a bill to the city
for 2.o for mouths of December,
19041 January, February and March,
1905, at $60 per mouth. Mr. Organ
desired to. get a settlement so that he
could relinquish the position and
was willing to make any reasonable
reduction in the account.
The matter was placed in the
muds of the Ways and Means com
mittee to ascertain from Mr. Organ
the sum that he would accept us
full payment and to ascertain the
cugth of time he actually worked
at his ofhcial duties. 1 he matter
dragged along u few weeks when
Mr. Organ placed the ulluir lu the
hands of Mr. McGarry, an attorney
now in Portland, who asked an
immediate settlement: uud at the
meeting of July 6, he lcing present,
insisted that the matter should lie
quickly closed.
On the evening ot Saturday, juiy
8, a joint meeting was held in Port-
and lietween Mr. Mcuarry upon
the one side and Councilmeu Peter
son uud Thonmsou on the other
Mr. llrice lieiug absent. It was ut
this meeting that the above threat
was tittered if the word of the com
mittee lie lielievcd. And it looks us
f Mr. McGurry hud made good.
All puiiers pertaining to the Issue
of the St 0,000 bonds had lieeu
turned over to the Portland firm
that had been the liest bidders and
Mr. McGarry was cognunnt of that
fact. These papers had been pro
nounced goal by one of the buyers
but he declared that the attorney
must pass ujwn them.
After this threat which is claimed
the bonds were returned with the
decision that die apparatus and 11
city hall were "not public utilities:"
hence the lionds were not valid.
I'he mierv then arises "Is Mr.
McGarry the attorney for this liond
buvlne firm?" or "What influence
does he maintain over the firm?"
Conditions huve reached u critical
phase when one man cuu make his
boast that he will damage a city
unless his demands lie conceded. It
is true that had Mr. McGarry issued
papers and tied up the money it
would have caused bother and
tills, it wus asserted by the com
mittee, he promised to do if he
could secure his money in no other
way. .. , .
The question now naturally mi-
laws as to who Is in league with
this attorney in his endeavors to do
harm to the city? And why should
any reputable business man see: to
Inflict n damage tinon a community
wherein are a couple thousand Inno
cent dwellers?
Would the firm figuring on buy
Ing the bonds go upon the stand and
testiiV that 110 man hud approached
It with advice, legal or otherwise,
regarding the municipal ooims 01
St. Johns? Or would it swear that
such advice or hint had Iwrne no
weight whatever in the decision
wherein the bonds were pronounced
invalid ?
All indications now Point to a
farther investigation of this matter
because it seems that the declara
tions of Mr. McGarry are not to go
unheeded.
