January. When that time came, the matter was again laid
on the table, and nothing done about it one way or the
other. In fact, it has become noticeable that whenever
any difficult or distasteful issue presents itself the council
lays it on the table and never takes it off.
(6) When at the meeting last Monday presentation was
made of a proposed ordinance by a citizen in a gentlemanly
way with merely a request for consideration members of
the council showed an obvious resentment at any one sug­
gesting a course of action for them, and promptly laid the
ordinance on the table. While certain of their political sup­
porters have had ready access to them privately it has
been very seldom of late that any one has been able to
make a suggestion openly from the floor and receive care­
ful consideration on the merits of the proposition at hand.
(6) No one member of the council since the pres­
ent controversy arose has ever cast in open meeting an in­
dependent vote in accord with his own convictions, the
course of action on all anticipated measures being deter­
mined in secret caucus and unforeseen issues being referred
for future consideration, if any.
(7) In view of the fact that the recall if carried out
would leave the city with neither council nor mayor, the
Home folks eagerly read the home
