W. li. 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.
"By the terms ot tliat resolution
my client has been induced to make
a large expenditure ami 1 am
bound to protect him. I do not
make any threat but I do declare
that if the council does not sec fit

"If you want me to talk, gentle
men, I snail tell you .sonic facts
and show you just what you are up
against. In the first place there
are many who believe there is an
existing ordinance (No. 11) which
prohibits the sale of liquor. This
is not a fact.

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.
The matter was finally carried to
the next regular meeting.
