Turmoil, and strife broke out lit tha
city eouncll yesterday afternoon whan
Mayor Lane'a communication regarding
the expenditure of $4,000 for tb pur
chase of underground cable waa read.
The meaaage advised the oounc.llmen to
compel the Pacific Statee Teleohone
company to donate the cable to the elty
in aornraance wun the provlalena or lta
franchise. Thla called forth a dlacua.
slon which extended back Into past his
tory regarding the purchaae of $10,900
worth of cable tha rnananalhllltv for
which th eounoll la trying to fix upon
the mayor while the mayor places the
responsibility upon the council.
Counollmen Bennett Cellara and Will.
cnarged tne mayor with responsibility
In the matter while Councilman Vauahn
and Mayor Lane replied. At tlmea sev
eral were on their feet at the aame time
shouting at the top of their volcea while
Mayor Lane waa pounding with tha
gavel so hard that tha worda of the
speakers could not be distinguished. For
a time It looked aa If the council hsd
resolved Itself into a "roughhousa" and
tha apeotatora enjoyed the affair im
mensely.
An Talk lag- At Oaoe.
Bennett Cellars and Wills contended
that It was the duty of tb mayor to
Inspect tha conditions and requirements
of the varloue franchises and report to
the council with auch recommendations
aa he thought compatible with hla find-
mil.
Cellars read a section of the city
charter which requires the mayor to
Investigate all franchisee and report
10 in council in nia annual meaaage.
Cellara contended that the mayor had
not done so.
Wills held the mayor to blame alto
gether. II aald that the mayor waa
paid to know whether the franchises
