There was anothe hectic ses- sion of the City Council yesterday morning when the regular monthly mootiiik. adjourned from Tuesday night, was concluded. Controversy between the Mayor and some of the Councillors rose to boiling pnlnt and there was a free exchange of derogatory epithets.

A statement in a published let- ter of the Mayor's with reference to The Guardian's report of Tues- dBYs meeting was flatly ccntradicti 8d by Couns. Holman and Reardon. It was also shown to be moon-en; by Coun. He- nessey. The Mayor finally corrected his statemen but challenged contradiction of other Biloffetions in , the sarnc letter. Couns. Kennedy and Holman in- tlmated their intention of answer- in: these statements also, but be. fore controversy on other matters had subsided Coun. Doull, seconded by Coun. Hennessey, moved the ad. lournment and the motion wasde- clared carried. '

Coun. Kennedy's emphatic re- pudiation of the Mayor's allege. tions with respect to lobbying against an amendment to the City Incorporation Act was one of the iliiidlllots of the meeting.
