A GREAT BATTLE OF WITS

Discussion of the Money By-Laws on

HEWETT SCORED THE OPPOSITION

Apologies to Offer for His

There came very near being a warm
time in “‘old town” Saturday night at
the citizens mass meeting called by
twenty-five rate payers to discuss the

short of a row. The mayor took the
stand that the city had nothing to ap.li-
gise for, as every cent of the indebebt-
ednessjincured had been expenbed for
necessary improvements. He was sup-
ported in this stand by Ald. Fraser,
who read a detailed statement of the
citys’ finances to the meeting, and Ald.
Johnson and E. Hewitt both took a
ine partizan stand, and said, that while
he had made

oa mistakes, they had acted concien-
tiousily, and should not be turned down
by people that were actuated with any
other desire except forwarding the in-
terest'of the city. He score1 each one
ofthe opposition quite severely.

The mayor asked the privilege of reply-

been retained as city solicitor, he would
not then be on the platform opposing the
bylaws. The alderman showed that the
counci! had advertised in the papers of
Toronto, Monireal and Winnepeg for
bids for the sa’e of debentures, and per-
sonally solicited twelve prominent com-
panies to buy the warrants, but from all
had received but one offer and made the
best bargain possible. City Solicitor
McLeod attested to the fact that agree-
ment ‘‘A” was valid and doubted if the
courts could set aside the money bylaws.
J. A. Kiik payed bis respects to the
sewer question, but the most he could
say against it was that it was not finish-

Mr. Hewitt, “for eaiiug the meeting

when I am wrong and not before.
iterate the statement. All coons’ "ook
alike to me. ‘Iam here aa a free lance.
There is not a man on this platform but
that opposed Mayor Scott last election,
who are speaking against the money by-
law. It looks very mueh like a political
squabble. I believe in meeting this
question on a broad gauge. A city is
just as the citizens make; if they are
emall men, it will be a small town and
vice vefia. Tonight I have heard some
of the most petty, nonsensical bickering
LIevor heardin my lIlfe. People come
here from little eastern farming villages
where the grass growson the streets, and
expect to build upa city by the same
methods in Rossland.”
**T, too have suffered abuse from men
no better than myself.” [Applause]
“Some not near so good. I see a great
array of legal talent bere and venture to
say that the lawyers are'responsible for
every cent of debt incurred by the city.
The city never made 2 move without
consulting an attorney. I hold them to
blame if there is any fault to find. The
city made a bad mistake in purchasing
the fire apparatus itdid, but they in-
curred the debt honestly trying jto fuar-
ther the city’s interest. Some peuple
never make mistakes—I have seen them
you have seen them. But ‘King Solo-
mon says all men are liars.’ ””
“I see Smith Curtis here, wh> thought
$5,000 would be enough to run the city
when incorporated.” (laughter) He hss
been taking notes ever since the meet-
ing began, and I must be brief as he has
probably much to say.”
“Now gentlemen let us stop this petty
ing and stand
to shoulder like men and let the outside
world see thin is no cheap Jim Crow
town, by passing the bylaws and paying
an honest debt,” (prolonged cheering.)
Mr. Rolt and Mr. Curtis followed Mr.
Hewitt and it was twelve o’clock before
the meeting broke up.

Pugilist Ordered to Leave.
Edward Posey, the colored pugilist
who sparred at the International the

today and given 48 nours to leave town.
The chief of police says thatsince the

I, I mean we, are opposed to the pro-

favor of. Iwasopposed to them be-

book some day which will be entitled,
“What I Know about City Finances, or

It will help to ruin the credit of the city

I mean us, and Smith Curtis and Rolt

I would advise the people té vote’:
the proposed bylaws down and if-I am
chowen, I will word a bylaw.-which the
people will be delighted to vote for. So
anxious. will they be to vote for it that
they will get up at midnight and inquire
ifthe polla are open. Of course they
willnot be there some other time. Iam
opposed to voting these debentures but
Lam in favor of Smith Curtis for city so-
licitor first, last and all the time
—Smith Curtis. :
I am Alderman Jonnson. WhatI
need to be is not now material. I am
a member of the city council and am on
the fire and water committee. I have
much use for fire right now but never
did have much use for water. I had
everything to say about the aclection
and ordering of the new fire apparatus,
but since there is eo much kick about it
I set back and grin, just as if I had
nothing todo with it. It’s better to
blame Mayor Scott with the mistake as
he is blamed with all the rest. I say
I am for the bylaws: but I also say to
Smith Curtis, Sinclair, Goodeve Bros.,
Rolt, Lalonde & Co. that Iam not. I
made a little mistake in giving in my
property to the assessor as it didn’t a-
mount to quite enough to make me el-

igible for re-election. Itis really too
bad as I would be elected pueillaniious-
Iam Rolt. zon do not need to mis-
arisen name or in-

itiale. knows mz—Rolt.
