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

From the attitude taken by the coun
oilmen yesterday afternoon, It la con
sldered doubtful if the park board Will
ever secure the appropriation asked for
by the members to pay for the services!
of Emll T. Mlsche, the new park super
intendent wno was engaged by the
board before that body seoured money
with which to pay him.
Certain members of tha council he.
lleve the salary of $2,600 a year which
the park board has agreed to pay Mr.
Mlsche Is too large, and others do not
believe that Superintendent Montelth ia
getting a square deal. The council al
lowed Montelth an Increase in salary
from $110 to $125 a month, but the park
board hs refused to pay It.
An effort to bring the matter before
the council yesterday afternoon and
have the ordinance allowing the hiring
of Mlsche passed was tabled by the objec
tion of Councilman Dunning. It will have
to go through the regular channels and
cannot become a law until the next
meeting of the council. To put anor-.
ainance .inrougn on its nrst reading re
qulros a suspension of the rules, and
Councilman Dunnlng's objection pre
cluded the possibility of doing this.
