ALDERIIOi liEET
TOMORROW NIGHT
ELECTION OF OFFICIALS WILL
AGAIN BE TAfcEN UP.
Executive Session Proposed, But
Meets With Strong Opposition.
No Provision in Charter for Secret
Session. Speculation Indulged in.
If Aldermen Absent Themselves
They Will Be Liable to a Fine of
$3.00 for Each Offense.
On account of the deadlocked con
dition of the board of aldermen much
interest centers in the meeting, which
win De held Thursday night. The
meeting was made necessary on ac
count of the board's failure to elect
the various city officers at the regu
lar meeting last Thursday night. The
vote then was hopelessly deadlocked
and another meeting was set, when
the election will again be taken up.
A large crowd attended the meet
ing last Thursday night and at times
made their presence felt, both liv
speeches, handclaps, stamping of feet
and occasional yells. On this account
there has been considerable talk of
an executive session at the eomini?
meeting. As soon as the executive
session was mentioned there immed
iately arose opposition to it. The
people look upon an executive session
as contrary to Democratic principle
of government. A large number also
contend that the aldermen are trans
acting the people's business and there
the public has a right to witness the
deliberations of the board. There is
no provision in the city charter which
gives the aldermen a right to go into
executive session and it has been gen
erally talked that in case such a aes.
sion is ordered that enough members
on the board who are opposed to such
a step will, if necessary, break a
quorum rather than allow such a
meeting t be held. " "v ,e. ;
Another rumof that has been gen
erally circulated is to the effect that
on account of the board being evenly
divided if one aldermen on either side
should be prevented from attending
a meeting of the board the other two
members of the board of his politi
cal faith will also absent themselves
to prevent the opposition having a
majority of 3 votes to 2. Since this
rumor has become current there have
been a number of inquiries as to what
provisions the charter contained as
to the failure of an alderman to at
tend the meeting. As a matter of
information paragraph three of sec
tion 94 is herewith given:
"Any alderman of the citv who
shall fail, neglect or refuse to attend
any regular meeting of the board or
any special meeting called by the ma
jority of the board in which he join
ed, or who, having had written notice
by mail or otherwise of a special
meeting of the board called by the
mayor of the majority of the board
in which he did not join, shall fail.
neglect or refuse to attend such regu
lar or special meeting or give to the
board on or before the next ensuing
regular meeting thereof a satisfac
tory excuse therefor, shall forfeit
and pay to the chief of police to the
use of the city the sum of three dol
lars for each offense : Provided that
if any alderman be absent for three
successive regular meetings of the
board without a satisfactory excuse
therefor, it shall be the duty of the
aldermen to declare his office vacant
and proceed to elect his successor."
