Coun. Reardon: "I would I3 Coun. Holman to read that section of the by-laws again. dssliul Wit-h the Mayor's duties while presidins. so that there will be no further dis-

Mayor Stewart, continuing. 6101m- ed he had received information

Wednesday's Patriot purportinl t0 be signed by the Mayor, One para- graph, in which the speaker was particularly interesfed, read as fol- lows:

"It is not true that I refused to put a motion to the Council that Officer Bradley be promoted to the position of Sergeant. The majority of the Council were op- posed to such promotion and rc- iiised to grant it. Evidently you were thinking of a motion that was made for the promotion of Officer Doyle. which I refused to put because Finance Chairman Kennedy: stated that there .wa5 no provision ll’. the estimates for it. and in my opinion it should have been left over until the es-

from s member of the DQ818191!" that Councillors had made 18D"?- [sentations to him against amend- lments to the Incorporation Act. He had asked the Coimcillors and ev- ery one denied they had spoken to this gentleman. "If that is the kind iof men I have got to deal with," he added, "I can't have a very high opinion of them." He again com- plained of The Guardian report, and said the citizens had elected him and they knew they could rely at all times upon his word. _ Coun. Kennedy: "Question!"

tlmzites were gone through. Af- terwards ii motion was put grant- ing Officer Doyle's prizniotlon."

Coun. Reardon: “With reference to that letter, as mover of the re-

press as you see fit, and I am not‘ lierc to criticise that; but

citizens I do object to the state- ment you make there. I might say that I personalif gave my word to Officer Bradley that I wbuld siip- port him if the motion to grant his application came before the Coun- cil. But the motion did not come before the Council; I did not have nn opportunity’ to speak on it, nor to vote on it," .

Coun. Doull wished to know if this were the business for which the meeting had been called. If not he wished to be excused because he was ‘busy and could not spend his time listening to a repetition of what had occurred on Tuesday night. '

liihyor Stewart: "There is no doubt Councillor Doull is correct. We are met here to pass these by- laivs, and they have been passed. I have no objection, personally, to the question being discussed."

Coun. Doull again asked to be excused.

Coun. Holman said he under- stood this was an adjournment of Tuesday night's monthly meeting. The matter he had referred to was a, matter in connection with that meeting. .

Mayor Stewart: "lf Coun. Doull wishes to retire there is no reason why he shouldn't get permission."

Coun. Holman: “Personally I am not at nil particular whether Coun. Doull remains or not, but this is iin adjourned meeting and I have a right to say. with reference to Oilio-r Bradley's promotion, that L‘\'L‘l'_V floiincllloi" did not oppose his application.“

Mayor Stewart: “l didn't make

any such statement."

Coun. Holman: "You said the majority of tho Councillors. I ob- jot-t to that statement. I was not opposed nrid I say I did not have the opportunity of voting one way’

or the other.

Coun. Reardcri: “I know it is not .- correct because the conversation took place between you and me, and I remember it distinctly."

Coun. Doull: "I object. This l. new matter. It could not possibly have come before the other -meet- ing. The time for this to be dis- cussed is at our next regular most- ing. This is new matter and I wish to be excused. There are people waiting for me."

Coun. Kennedy: "You have been granted that privilege half an hour ago."

Mayor Stewart: “The whole thing is ridiculous. I see you sent The Guardian man here and I suppose you let him know you were going to speak this morning."

Coun. Reardon: "I am not a speech-maker and I am not con- cerned about having my remai-leg in the press. But I am not going to allow any man to put down my throat that that statement in the

,Mayor Stewart: “If you wait long enough you will find that any mo- tion that comes up that I think is out of order, I will refuse to put."

Coun. Reardon: “I should have made a motion to put you out of the chair and place someone in the chair who was willing to put the motion."

Mayor Stewart: "You got that information since, did you?"

Coun. Reardon: “Not at all. I knew it at the time, but I wanted to get along with you as far as pos- sible."
