We have had offers o f all the finan- 1 cial and legal assistance that we ! may need, and are determined not to be forced into this debt if we can help it. Very truly yours, T. H. LITTLEHALES. IN DEFENSE OF COUNCIL Member Claims Body Is Ac tuated by Strong Sense of Duty No. 26 which they would have to do. and violate their oath which they had taken to stand by the city charter, the opposers would boy cott the business men who were on the council. That looks to me like a very serious threat to hang over business men who are conducting an honorable business in our city and depending on their business for their living. Then another prophet arose, Mr. Kane, who said that while he was not effected by the pav ing of Second avenue he saw what was coming. He saw in tersection paving forced in and the awful result o f the work that would be done by the council. I do not know how he got the vision, without a shadow as large as a man’s hand; it is sure ly a new revelation to me. I do not know o f any such work be ing attempted and the city char ter does not give any authority for such cruel and inhuman treatment, but this man can see it coming. I still believe the council will stand by their pledge to honor the city charter, and if the peo-' pie want a change, they will have to change the city charter. l , for one, was glad that we had men who in the face o f threats and hisses would stand true to their pledge and vote accord ingly. I have heard the council criticized for voting a resolution to pave without a petition to pave being first presented. This was done by request and a feel ing that the streets acted upon, especially Pacific avenue, were sadly in need o f repairs, leaving it with the people to say whether they wanted the paving or not. This is no departure from that done one year ago, or the right to do. First street was paved without a petition, at least I never heard o f one, and none o f these people claimed any injus tice was done. The property owners had the right to object if they wished to. I am sorry for criticisms, but even that should be no barrier to duty. J. M. BARBER. Humphreys Bros.
