Though the subject had not been
introduced for discussion, discus-
sion was allowed, and much bick-
ering and quibbling threatened the
meeting. Criticism of employee
work tended to throw aspersions
upon other employees, and upon
councillors. After many personal-
ities, among councillors and in-
cluding the mayor who for a time
slipped from his role of chairman
and'entered the debate, it was ar-
ranged that a meeting of council
in committee would be held next
Monday night to discuss salaries.

recall the meeting to order, and
asked for explanation of the new
industrial committee. Mayor Ag-
