When Is the majority in the minority and -when does the minority constitute the prevailing side, was the delicate parliamentary question put to Mayor Lane yesterday to decide. , Tbe question arose on the vote on the veto of the or dinance granting the Corbett estate the right to Install a vent on the new build. Ing at Fifth and Morrison streets. Nine councllmcn voted for tbe ordi nance and against the veto and five against the ordinance and for tbe veto. The ordinance was declared defeated be. cause it did not have tbe necessary two thirds vote of the council. Later Coun cilman Cellars came in and Councilman Bennett moved to reconsider the vote. The right. to do thla waa questioned, because the rule of the council la that a motion to reconsiaer rouse do maae bv one who voted with the majority, Although the majority consisted of the men who voted to deieat the veto, tney were considered to be in the minority by Mayor Lane. Deputy city Attorney Frank Grant took the opposite opinion and a considerable delay occurred, while Mayor Lane looxea up tne law on tne case. Robert's rules of order say that a motion to reconsider must be made by one who has voted with the prevailing B'de. .... Mayor Lane rinany aeciaea to allow the oouncllmen to have their own wav and allow a new vote to De taxen wnen the veto was defeated. In giving his decision Mayor Lane said: "I think that the council has the rleht to reconsider its action if it wants to; I think It not only has the high and holy right, but, if it so desires, may override the rights of the city. If It wants to vote away the city's rights. It not only has the undisputed privilege hut it ousrht I think, to show its hand. and should not, therefore, be held down CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READER DROPS DEAD JAP SWEETHEARTS.
