McGarry here introduce aeaiu the matter of the bond for the hotel company also asked that an order he had nreimied author!: hit: the issuance of the license be read. Mr. McGarry s lid he had listened to the readlnir of the minutesand laid stress upon the final disixtsi tion of the ordinance. According to Jefferson's Manual accepte.l as trrcat authority vr lieu the motion to "place upon its liual passage was so heavily carried it made the ordinance n law valid and irrefu table. There was no necessity for a motion to "adopt" nor had that been the custom in this council as decided by tlis rules of the body. Hut. your honor und gentlemen of the council," continued Mr. Me Garry, "allowing if you please (for the sake of nu argument) that the ordinance did not pass: bar all reference to it from this argument: and I tell you that you have made a contract with the St. Johns Hotel Company which cannot be abro gated. Vour body by n legal vote adopted a resolution to grant iu client a license: your body accepted by vote the sum of f, 1000 for this license, and on the strength of that resolution inv client commenced to invest and improve his projerty. "Bv verbal agreement there was to be invested from $10,000 to $30,- Preach Hlock hwi in this enternrlse and I desire to say that when the doors ot tlie hotel shall be own for business there will have been fully 15,000 invested. This resolution became, as soon as your lody had authorized the acceptance of the money and my client had commenced to carry out his part of tuc agreement, a contract: a contract that was indis putable, and a contract which 110 member of the council has a legal or moral right to attempt to break - No member of the council should interfere with any officer in his attempt to work in his official duty.

Mr. Greene said: "If you want me to talk, gentle men, I snail tell you .sonic facts and show you just what you are up against.

If the council shall deny this liceu.-e there will i a fight iigain.it the city and on tlie licsl of grounds. grants the license I understand tlie'i! other side will commence a fight. 1 1 will then be up to the hotel com pany." This is a portion of Mr. Gnat's talk and he faced conditions as they stood seemingly showing no favor to the one or the oilier. The council seemed to take to the posi tion very kindly and there was apparently no antipathy shown against the grunting of the license. Regarding the "final passage" it was suggested that some voted upon it not understanding the meaning of the motion: but Mr. i"ggctt who voted "110" mid Mr, Shields who voted "ye" each be lieved they voted right. Mr. McGarry then asked the I'nillipil III.' villi. In milliririy.. lli 1 4 mayor nnd iccorder to accept the 41 bond and Ismic the license. He thought it only legal ami just to have it done. He had done his 4. be.il to show the legal status of the , case. Accordingly the following 2 motion was put: "Moved that houds of J. U. Nye, i. manager of the St. Johns Hotel ; Company, be approved by the 4 mayor and filed by the recorder, ' 21 11 111 t tlmt 11 HriMisi In" iintlwirliwl liv 1 4 the mayor and issued by the 4' auditor." Upon rollcall the following vote was received: I.eggett, I'M wards, Shields, "nay." Thompson, Peter son, l,indquirt."nye." The mayor voted with the affirmative and the motion prevailed. There was some (luo.itiou as to whether the 20-day limit of the ordinance would be de mandedas well as of appointment of the "license committee," but these ipiestious were not pushed to my detinue decision. A teii-iuiiuite recess was taken to allow the council to smoke and get its second wind. The matter of a gas frauchike was tuen discussed. 1 lie projec tors of this enterprise had the nerve to asl: the council when it granted the franchise to advise a site dona tion from the board of trade be cause the move would not Ik.' a very paying one from the start and the projectors believed in getting nil tliey could l I his rcqtust did not meet with the glad hand anticipated. As a general thing the council members believed that a gas service in St. Johns would be a good thing for every householder but believed that no bonus should w requested. Mr. Peterson frankly statud that le was agaiiikt cortwrations who came here, asked for a franchise and then desired a bonus: and that seemed to be the general idea.
