They are Tolfl that the Mayor's ' Bill is Illegal , 'Tha Mayor Makes Some Sensa tional Proposals , Other IltiHlHCflsnl the Council. A mooting of the city council was hold yoatorday afternoon , at which the mayor and aldonnen Mynator , McMahon , Sied- entopf , James and Keating were pros- ont. ont.A A number of bills were presented aud ordered paid. Some llttlo diacuaalon waa raiaod nboat the now order adopted by the mayor and auditor , that hereafter no bills shall bo uaid until road in open council and ordered - dorod paid. Various explanations were offered as to the fooling of citizens that bills wore being passed through the mill looaoly. The question of whether the city coun cil had any rnlos or not was brought np , * > * and It was decided informally that the old rules should hold until now ones were mode. It was decided to suspend the reading of the minutes until uonio future mooting. Thla action has boon taken so often that thorp r.ro now sororal hundred pages waiting approval. The following protest was filed : To the honorable the city council of Council Bluffs , Iowa The undersigned residents and taxpayers of the city of Coancil Blnfl'a most earnestly protest against the payment out of the city treasury of any money , or the issuing of any warrantu or orders of said city for the purpose of compensating Mayor Yaughan for services alleged by him to have been rendered said said city in the negotiation In Now York city , or else where , of any bonds of the city for paving , sewerage , or any other purposes , Because said services were not render by virtue of or under any contract with said city. Because there can bo no Implied con tract upon the part of said city to pay for such services. Because the payment of such corapon sation , either in money or by warrants ol this city , trill bo Illegal and unjustifiable and a gross misappropriation of the funds of said city : D VV Buchnoll , E L ShuRnrt , J J Miller , H H Motcalf , M F Rohror , L 0 Baldwin , Henry Paschol , F J Day , J W Rodofer , John Bammor , J F Kvans , H D Horlo , J J Brown , J L Stewart , James Patterson , J Y Fuller , C B Jacquomin & Co , James Portorfield , W 0 Jackson , P Q Wind , Peter 0 Miller , Ohns liiughn , George Kcollno , J W Croaaland , Ford Wicf , T J Evono , Keelinu & Felt , L 0 Etnpkio , F H Htlll N. M. Pnsoy , who had boon employed by aorno of the signers to the above aa at torney to represent their views , and by consent of the council ho did so. Bo presented simply the legal aide of the COBO. Ho said ho did not euro to discuss the question as to the value ot the nor vices rendered by the mayor , or what -would bo a reasonable compensation for such services. The position taken by those property-owners represented by him was that the council had no loga right to pay him anything. His first po sition was that it wan W. R. Vaughon as mayor who was sent east to sell bonds , and not W. R Vaughan aa on individual. Ho claimed that by the statutes Mayor Vaughan in taking the office entered into a contract to perform all the duties de fined by statute and such other duties OB were ordered by the council compatible with the duties of mayor. If the councl enlarged the duties of the mayor and ho acquiesced , there was no just claim 01 his part for extra compensation for per forming such duties. It mattered no that previous maycra had been paid fo like services. One Illegal act did no warrant another. Mr. Pusoy hold tha the council could not glvo the mayo compensation for services , beyond the limit of his fixed salary , unices a spocla contract was made previously. Ho real the opinions of Mayno & Hunter am City Attorney Holmes to the effect tha the city haying employed him to do oztr ctliclal dutier , there was an implied con tract under which ho could claim com penaatiou. Ho admitted that this wa good law as between citizens , but tha the law did not countenance such im implied contracts between the city am one of Its officials. Ho road in supper of this an opinion of Judge Dillon , t the tH'ct that this compensation must b bycontract ; , ordinance or statute am there could bo no implied contract in auch cases , [ and no obligations on th part of the city. In taking the office a a fixed salary , ho must bo content wit ! that , nud if the council enlarge duties so that [ the salary soomoi inadequate , ho could resign , or if the request quest made by the council was not com patlblo with the duties of mayor , ho could rofueo to comply. Any other rul than that laid down wonld load to mncl inlechiof. Every alderman would wan extra pay for some duty ho might con tidor WSB beyond his ordinary duties a alderman. There must bo first an ordl uauco , law or definite contract made The request of tbo council for the mayor to go east and soil bonds became a part of his duties aa mayor , to bo per formed for his salary , the moment tha resolution passed. If ho did not wan to perform this duty ho had his remedy but voluntarily complying with the request quest , and performing tha duty , ho hac 110 right to oomo in afterwards and claim compensation on the ground of there being a complied contract. Mr. Puae ; cited numerous authorities. In closin , ho said that If the city council refuse t < allow the mayor's bill the legality couli 1)9 tested by tbo mayor commencing aul against the city. Oa the other hand , 1 the council allowed the bill , the legallt could bo tested by the tax-payers com raonciog action , It mattered not hov meritorious the claim might bo , it shonlt uot bo paid unless a legal claim. Col. D ily expressed himself as of th op'nion that this discussion should hav been postponed until attornoja holdin ditleront views could be present , but not that the argument was made he though action on tbo bill should bo deferred un til an opportunity could bo given him and other attorneys. Mayor Vaughan then offered that i any three of the ilguora of the protei would give the amount named la the bl o the Homo of the Friendless , or some thcr charitable institution , ho would do 10 same. Or ho wonld lot the protest- > rs select one attorney nnd ho would se- ect another , nnd leave the matter to udgo Dillon , or leave the matter to udgo Rood , Loofbourow mid Lyman. : any of the protesters would run for mayor ho would resign and run against Im , and lot the people s y at the polls ho was to bo endorsed. Ho had looked p the records on sorao of thoao protests , lo also informed Mr. Pasey that aomo of loao who signed the protest had elnco gnod a recommendation that the bill bo aid. Among them were Henry Paschol nd John Hammer. His recommonda- ion was signed by thoao paying paving AXCS , whereas the protest was eignod by many who did not pay any paving tax Ho thought Col. Daily's ' suggestion was a wise ono , and that opportunity bo given or the attorneys who had endorsed his 111 to state their views in detail , Other business was then taken up. Petition for a lamp post on Scott street otwoon Mills and the end of the street , resented and referred. Notice was given that J. J. Hathaway iad assigned the contract for filling por- ons of Eighth street to Henry Tlquoa. The bond of J J. Hathaway for $1- 00 as captian of police , was approved. Alderman James called the mayor to ccount for not reporting to the council : io appointment of police for approval 'ho ' mayor explained that ho did so as cgards regular police , but occasionally : was necessary to appoint specials. The mayor said that if written objoc tons were put on file agaiant any member f the force , ho would attend to thorn. Md. James said thorolworo men on the otco ho would not vote to confirm. A warrant was ordered drawn on the ewer fund In favor of the contractors , ileAnloy & Co. , for $15,000. The bill of Kllnoitfc Woollvor for filling fifth avenue from Tenth street to the rook at 35 cents a cubic yard , was ro oivodr.ndtho contract awarded thorn. The city attorney filed his opinion against the allowing of warrants to cover lacounts on other warrants. The opin on has already boon published in TUB JER It waa concurred In. The city attorney also presented a ro- .ort that the Indian crook sewer bonds roro valid in his opinion. Referred to lommittoo on soworago. The sewer committee was instructed to .elect . some point In railroad addition for a bridge across the Indian crook ditch , and build the same. A warrant was ordered issued in favor of Reagan Bros. & McGorisk for $27,000 , or paving on Broadway. The city auditor was instructed to make temizad report of all warrants drawn on the paving fund , and amount paid In by iroporty owners. Col. Sapp appeared before the council n reference to the claim of J. T. Slow- art for damages on account of change ol ; rado on Mam street. Ho wanted some definite action. The commlttoo having it In hand were instructed to report a' , ho next regular meeting. The council then adjourned. COMMtUlClAJj , COUNCIL BLUFFS MABKET.
