SOME DOUBT ABOUT HIS RIGHT TO VOTE

Rates by the City.
After casting his vote In favor of the
measure, following a tie vote on the Inde
pendent Telephone franchise ordinance at
. i ,i , , . Tkimftl last nlsrht.
mo nit-riiiis r L in, v, ... . . . " i
Mayor Macrae declared that the ordinance
hrf mufil. As had been the case at the
meeting of the committee of the whole last j tDat their pay Increased from $2 to 2.50
Thursday night. Aldermen Gilbert, McMIl- j a jay. The board compromised the mat
Ian, Tlnley and Weaver voted In favor of ter by allowing Matlack 110 additional per
the passage of the ordinance, while Alder
men Crlppen, Maloney, Olson and Vounker
man voted against It.
While Mayor Macrae cast what he held
to be a deciding vote In favor of the pass
age of the ordinance, It Is questioned
whether the situation which existed prior
to the meeting Is altered any. It Is con
tended that the mayer has no right to vote
on the passage of an ordinance. The
statute provides an ordinance can only be
passed with the concurrence of a majority
of the whole number of members elected
to the council. There being eight alder
men, It would take, according to the
statute, five votes to pass an ordinance.
It Is further contended that the mayor,
while he Is presiding officer of the city
council, is not a member of that body.
The statute says that In cities of the first
class the mayor shall be the presiding
officer of the city council and that In cities
of the second class he shall be the presid
ing officer and a member of the city coun
cil. As Council Bluffs Is a city of the
first class. It Is contended that the mayor
Is not a member of the council.
Telephone Mea Satisfied.
Attorney Miller and other representatives.
of the company seeking the franchise were
apparently satisfied with the mayor's rul-
ing. a. they applauded when he mad. he
announcement, una ofiura . lenvius i
,, . .V . , ..
cuuiiuil iiinmud iiiaitncu miii auu w i w
aldermen for passing the ordinance. A
number of lawyers, however, whose opin
ions have been nHked on . the question of
the mayor's right - to vote expressed the
opinion that the ordinance as It how 1s is
not worth- SO cents, and that its passage
would not be held legal by any court. It
Is expected that the Independent company
will have this question settled before It
ventures to submit the' proposition to the
vote of the people.
i. I
Before adjourning last night the c
council omitted to pass a resolution d-'
daring that the ordinance should be sub
mitted to the vote" of the people at' a spe
cial election to be called' by the. mayor.
This will have to be done before the mayor I
can Issue a call for the election und sutv
uiissiou of the proposition.
Mayor Macrae exercised his privilege of
casting n, vote In case of a tie several
times during the meeting last night, and
each time In favor of the Independent com
pany. 'At the outset of tho meeting, following
a' caucus of the aldermen behind closed
doors in the mayor s office, the ball was
started rolling by Alderman McMillan mov
ing to reconsider the amendment giving the
city tho rlsht to regulate rates. This car
ried by a vote of live to three, Aldermnn
Crlppen voting with the majority. This
clause, whloh Ue Independent company so
strongly objected to. . was accordingly
eliminated. anl Ilia following substituted;
The rlKht nnd authority Is hereby re
served to and vested In the said city to
Piihs ordinance exercising any right, power
or privilege that' is now or mnv hereafter
he-conferred on mild city by state statutes,
and the'rlRht is tierebv ' reserved In said
city to Impose Mich restrictions and reg
ulations upon said rompnnv as may be
Just, equitable nnd reasonable.
At the suggestion of the city solicitor the
fol owing provision was Inserted:
The said city shall have the power and
rlRlit to require he said telephone com
pany to furnish telephones to nnv in.
habitant of the city mnklng application
therefor under such rules and regulations
ss may bn Just, equitable and reasonable.
Votes Down Royalty.
Aldermen Vonnkermun and Maloney at
tempted to have a clause mserted- requir
ing the company to pay the city a royally
of per cent of Its gross earnings, but
Attorney Miller took, the floor and In
sisted that If this provision was Incor
porated In the ordinance his" company
would not accept it. ' On being put to .
vote. a tie ensued nnd the mayor cast his
vote against ' the provision. Mr. Vounker
man later sought to have the company
required to pay a. bonus of $10,000 for th'
franchise., but the latter motion- somehow
got lost In the shuffle.
An amendment requiring the company to
begin the work of construction within one
year after the granting of the franchise
and to have the system in operation within
Iwo years, suggested by the city solicitor,
carried.
Alderman Crlppen suggested to lay the
ordinance over to the next meeting, but
failed of support and the motion was not
put.
Alderman Younkerman attempted to ha'v
the ordinance amended so as to require
the company to connect with the outside
companies within two years instead of
"being prepared" to do so within that
time, as the clause read, but Attorney
Miller again protested and Younkerman
finally withdrew his motion.
Petitions for and against a second tel
ephone exchange were filed. The one
against the proposition had ubout 11 sig
natures, while that for it had about lflo.
Many persons signed both petitions. They
were laid on the table. (
The .Nebraska Telephone company,
through Its legal representative, submitted
a request that the' aldermen visit Mason
City, where there are- over 7,000 miles of
Independent lines connected up with the
Bell telephone long distance .lines, and
ascertain for themselves by examination of
the books of the company at that place
and In any other manner they may deem
fit, whether or not the Bell Telephone com
pany when connected with independent!
lines is conducive to the advancement -of
the financial Interest of ths Independent
telephone lines.

dealers who owe taxes are given these
charity orders so that the city will get
something out of the delinquent taxes.
