When the special fender committee of
the cltv council reported zavoraoiy up-
nn the Lamber fender everybody thought
the vexing problem that naa oeen nexore
the council for mora than a year naa
been eolved. but they had forgotten to
reckon- with ' Mayor Lane. 1 Hia honor

-inf.. that .th fander &dnntft
must b. .DDroved by the mayor aa well
as by tha council, it la probable that tha
question will continue to haunt tha
council chambers for some time to come,
because it la well known that Mayor
Lane does not approve of tha Lambert

At Wednesday s council mnuni
Mayor Lane told the fender committee
v.. ita asHnna had haan irrerular 'in
that he had not been oonsulted in the
matter, Thla haa been oonstrued to
mean that Mayor Lane will veto the or
dinance adopting the Lambert fender
which wUl throw tha whole Question
back to a new beginning. '
Mayor Lane favor a tne Liverpool ren

In announcing hia vote Mr. Vaughn
stated that ha thought the Eclipse fen
der better than tha Lambert, but aald
w . a .au At tha T.amhart In
order to get one adopted, believing the
Lambert better than no fender at all.
As a result of Mayor. . Lane's an
