Council Passes Box Law Over
His Veto.
FOR PLUMBING INSPECTOR
By Strict Party Afote, City's Legisla
tive Body Decides to Keep
the. Incumbent in Office, )
Despite Lane.
The Mayw passed a bad day with the
City Council yesterday, receiving a severe
Jolt at the outset by having his veto of
the box ordinance overruled to the tune
of .12 to 3. and another hard slap later
on in the shape of the passage of the ordi
nance continuing the Plumbing Inspec
tor and his assistant in office. The lat
ter measure went through by a strict
party vote of 14 to 1, and indicates in
eloquent terms just how the Council feels
about certain things. It is conceded that
the passage of the box ordinance over
the Mayor's veto was done more for the
purpose of teaching him a lesson than
anything else, as Masters and Bennett
each subsequently introduced new ordi
nances equally as stringent as any that
have been in existence, so far as restric
tions on the liquor traffic In boxes Is con
cerned. In fact, it was announced at
the start that the Idea was to pass the
ordinance over the veto and repeal It
afterward, adopting In Its place one even
more severe In general features.
Consideration of Ordinance.
Consideration of the box ordinance was
the first In order, and in view of the
presumed Importance of the matter, fully
three-score or more members of the Mu
nicipal Association were on hand to lend
moral support to the proceedings. The
liquor Interests were apparently unrep
resented. Conspicuous among those pres
ent upon behalf of the movement to sus
tain Mayor Lane In his veto of the ordi
nance were John Bain, Miller Murdoch,
Secretary Stone, of the Y. M. C. A.; C.
"W. Nottingham, H. R. Albee. F. A.
Frailer. IV. H. Mart ell, A. S. Pattulo
and others. In addition, about a dozen
or more ladles graced the assemblage
with their presence, both the lower floor
and the galleries of the chambers being
particularly well-filled with an expectant
throng, some of whom were unable to
restrain their feelings at various stages
of the proceedings, mou especially while
Councilman Vaughn was making an elo
quent appeal in favor of upholding the
Mayor.
After Deputy Auditor Grutze had read
the Mayor's reasons for returning the or
dinance to the Council without his signa
ture, the matter was presented to the
body in the shape of a question whether
to pass it over his head, and upon this
point Councilman Vaughn arose and un
dertook to explain his contemplated vote.
Sharkey liaises Point of Order.
Sharkey Immediately called him to or
der, claiming that the question was not
debatable. Vaughn was going ahead any
way, when Masters Insisted upon a ruling
on Sharkey's point of order. The Mavor
was undecided, and asked for light, saying
he could find no rule prohibiting debate,
and appealed to the Deputy Auditor for
Information. After a vain search all
around, the Mayor said that inasmuch as
he could find no such rule he would per
mit remarks from the Councilmen, pro
vided they were not too long.
Vaughn then continued in deliberate
fashion to explain ostensibly his reasons
for upholding the Mayor, but in reality to
put in a good word in behalf of the moral
sentiment of the community. As one of
the opposition Councilmen afterward re
marked, he "said one word for the Mayor,
and made a whole Fourth of July speech
against the boxes." He was frequently
interrupted by applause, while on the oth
er hand members of the Municipal Asso
ciation did not seem to take kindly to the
explanations of Councilmen Wills, Ben
nett. Sharkey. Rushlight and Gray, voic
ing their difference of opinion by occa
sional interruptions, to such an extent
that the latter member took occasion to
score the Municipal Association in round
terms, denying, among other things, that
it represented any considerable portion of
the moral sentiment of the community,
and that the people were averse to being
represented by any class that would deal
in vituperation and misrepresentation.
Accuses Municipal Association.
Councilman Gray became visibly aroused
at this stage, and accused the Municipal
Association with having published ante
election reports to the effect that he In
tended to vote in favor of repealing the
old box ordinance. This he denounced as
a falsehood, and denied also that the box
ordinance was an issue in the campaign.
Councilman Masters, in explanation of
his vote, gave his reasons for sustaining
the Mayor, and finished by calling upon
ex-Councllman Albee) who was present on
the floor, and who was the reputed author
of the old ordinance, to tell -the members
something about the early history of the
measure. Mr. Albee denied that there was i
ever any understanding between the pre
ceding Council and a committee from the i
Municipal Association relative to any mat- ,
ters affecting boxes in saloons. The entire
subject, he said, concerned the boxes in 1
restaurants, and upon this point he ad
mitted that it was the understanding that
liquor could be sold in those kind of boxes
having a floor space of not more than 160
square fet.
Says It Was a Joker.
One of the Councilmen. in explaining
his vote, had said that W. W. Cotton,
who was mainly instrumental in drawing
up the ordinance after the conference in
question, had put in a Joker in such a
way that It amounted practically to a
nullification of all claims of the saloon
Interests, and Mr. Albee concluded by con
tending that tho present ordinance, in Its
amended form, would pull this joker out.
and he hoped it would not prevail, because
it placed the saloon-box traffic In a worse
position than It has ever been In Port
land. He closed with an appeal to the
Council to sustain tho Mayor's veto.
The ordinance was passed over the
Mayor's veto by the following vote:
Ayes Annand. Bcldlng, Bennett, Dun
ning, Gray, Kellaher. Menefee. Preston,
Rushlight. Sharkey. Shepherd, Wills 12.
