Uop iuBnt Frlo*ion
There was a little unpleasant frlct-on
a: the opening of the couocll meeting
last night. Whej be called the old
couicil to order. Mayor Shaw explained
that u der the law of congress five
members are required to make a
quorum of the council to do business,
that there were only four councilmtn
present, therefore no business could be
transacud. He said if the new council
preferred to wait until the old counci
could wind up its affairs, a meeting
could probably be held Wednesday.
Councilman McGrath protested
against this ruling of the chair, and
read from an ordinance passed before
the congressional act referred to which
provided that a minority of the council
could canvas the election returns, de
clare the result and issue bertificates of
election.
Mr. Shaw held to his ruling, saying,
however, that the new council did not
have to acceed to his request to wait
for two days, that the request was maJe
only that the old council could turn the
government over to the new with a
clean sl? *e and in a spirit of amity. If
it did not desire to wait it could qualify
and proceed to its oreanizaiioo.

I Mr. McGrath said ther? might never
be a quorum of the old council, and be
thought that the council should wind
up its aftuirs not withstanding the lack
of a quorum,

adhericg to his former ruling, Phil
Abrahams administered the oaths of
office to the new councilmen. Mr. Mc

ciicsen ptesldent pro-tem. The minutrs
