It has beast further claimed by tho independents that Johnson waited until he was safely seated in the committee on committees, before attempting this coup d'etat. As to charges that Alderman W. H. Dancy joined the indepen dents in order to line them up against municipal ownership, it should be pointed out that Mr. Dancy is a. member of the group, which he denies, he is a new member, recently one of the oppo sition, and could scarcely expect to wield so much influence at once. The fact is that the indepen dents wwe organized not to deter mine public policy for the coun cil, but to combat influences which were attempting to control it. The creation of the commit tee on committees was an exam ple typical of its activities. Tho new independent group in cludes Aldermen Patton, Wilkin son, Kowitx, Purvine, Rose braugh, Herrlck, Rhoten, Olson, presumably Kuhn and' possibly Daney although the latter denies that he is definitely affiliated. Tarn Abont Special Plans Is Doubted Its attitude on municipal own ership may be better determined when this matter comes up tor open discussion on the floor of the council, but it is doubted whether there is any opposition to tho plan provided the matter Is thoroughly Investigated and the voters advised on all of its angles. Whether Aldermen Johnson and Vandevort will line up with the two remaining members ot the old minority group, also re mains to be seen. That group has always been more secretive than the independents, so much so that the latter never could could find out what the important committees were doing. In fact, It was a reported "leak" in ad vance of council meetings on what the independents were plan ning to do, that gave rise to tho recent split and realignment.
