BUDGET ADVISORY
COMMUTE VOTES TO
LIMIT YEON'S POWER
New ; Recommendation for
Roadmaster's Retention Is
Confined to Highway,
POSITION IS EXPLAINED
Committeemen Sax SncfMtloni
' 'rardln- Appointive Officer Out
side of Province.
After unanimously agreeing upon a
. recommendation to the county commls
aionera that the services of John B.
Toon as roadmaster be retained; the
'advisory budget committee held a epe-'
i clal meeting yesterday and by a vote
of S to 2, reconsidered their aption and
adopted a substitute recommending
that Mr. Teon's servlces.be restricted
, to the Columbia highway.
This action was taken ' after Mr.
Yeon, who had been invited to appear
. before the committee, had stated that
he did not care to continue in the of
fice of roadmaster unless, he could
assume the rssponsibility for the en
tire road system of the county.
To share, the responsibility, he said,
- would destroy his efficiency. He had
not only an Interest in the Columbia
, highway, but as a large taxpayer he
. had an Interest In correcting the
wasteful system of the past. He de?
sired, he continued, to take the roads
out of politics and conduct them on
business lines. In order to accomplish
this, he added that he must have full
control.
How. Committee Toted,
Those voting in favor of restricting
Mr, Yeon's superlntendency were !uob
ert H. Strong, Frank Kiernan and E,
B. MacNaughton.
Those who voted against a change
ln the original recommendation that
Mr. Yeon be retained were J. N. Teal
and George H. Lawrence, who though
: riot , present had given his proxy to
Chairman Leo Priede who did not
' vote on his own account. C. W. Hod
son, the seventh member of the com
m It tee, who In out of the city, was
not represented. -
When the matter was taken up at
, yesterday's meeting Mr.. MacNaughton
: movw and Mr. Strong seconded a mo
tion that the committee rescind its ac
tion taken at a previous meeting that
Mr. Yeon be retained as roadmaster.
The motion was carlred, the vote be
Ing as follows:
Yes, "Strong, Kiernan and Mac
vNaughton; no. Teal, Lawrence. Frlede
not voting.
Strong- Explains Position.
Mr. Teal then moved that the com
4 mltfee recommend that the services
Df Mr. Yeon be retained. Mr. Strong
- introduced an amendment to the effect
that the committee recommend to the
county commissioners that the cerv-
.' Ices of Mr. Yeon be retained to "com'
plete the Columbia highway from the
- city limits to the county -line. The
mended motion prevailed by the same
; vote given on the motion to rescind.
' S to 2. -
When asked today if the cared to
v make any statement regarding his
change of position and vote, Mr.
Strong said: . "
"I do not think it within the prov
ince of the Advisory budget commit-
tee to recommend anyone for an ap
pointive position, except in the case
of the Columbia highway, which I felt
Is . somewhat different on account of
Its being a great undertaking which is
only partially complete and should be
finished by the parties who started It,
for the work has been very ably
" handled on a very broad and compre
hensive line. I hope the road will be
finished by Mr. Yeon and that he be
given full credit for the work."
The report of the advisory commit
tee will be presented to the board of
coupty commissioners tomorrow. Ac
companying it will be a minority re
port relative to the roadmaster. This
minority report will declare that a
prudent and business like policy
; should BUggest to the board of county
. commissioners that it would be to the
best Interests of the county to retain
. the services of Mr. Yeon.
The unexpected change of front by
Messrs. Strong, Kiernan and Mac
Naughton is attributed by many to po
litical considerations.
What Is Art? Is
The Question Now
Police Begin Campaign to Stop Sale of
Plot ores Which Are Xeemed to Bo
Improper.
What la art?
On this Question hinges the prohibi
tion of pictures of "September Morn"
and similar pictures of nude figures.
The police have started a campaign to
stop the sale of pictures they deem ob
scene and are distinguishing between
pictures labelled "September Morn'
and near imitations.
A number of pictures already taken
by the police were seen by the city
commissioners this morning and all
agreed that the near Imitations which
can only be distinguished from the
real pictures by the labelling Bhould
be prohibited. .
The pictures had been brought to
the city hall by Patrolman Hunt for
the purpose of getting an order from
City Attorney La Roche to nave the
city hold the pictures.
He had to go into the council cham
ber to have Mr. La Roche sign the or
der and It was there that th city com
missioners noticed .him.
"I want to see those pictures," said
Mayor Albee, causing considerable
laughter.
The other commissioners wanted to
see .them, too, and the result is that
the pictures are to be proniDitea. as
it was difficult to determine those that
were supposed to be art and' those
which were not. the question is still
unsettled.
