PRES. LANG STILL BEGS SECRECY FOR CITY LAW MAKERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) for the use thereof, 20 per cent of the cost of construction; passage of an ordinance transferring $55,0e0 from the track elevation fund to the water rent fund, and another enriching the general fund S1.G10.34 at the expense of the street repair fund; receipt of a petition from A. W. Huff and 00 others, asking that the name of Michigan av. be changed to Lincoln way. which went to join the "melting pot" petition; the liling of a recommendation from the Plasterers' union. 101. that p. I f. Wollman be appointed building inspector were other features. It was the first regular session of the new body, the three previous ones held last week being special ones; the first for organization, and the other two upon call by the mayor to adjust certain salaries, viz; that of the clerk of the board of safety that was cut from $1,200 to $1,000 a year, and the other that of the superintendent of water works thru was increased from $ 1.600 to $2,0 00 a. year. At the outset it was quite apparent that there would be but little for the council to do Monday nijht. and Pres. Lang's address was accordingly delivered without shoving anything so very material off the boards. Defends "Secrecy" Plan-. That because the common council has for a decade or more indulged in the '.'star chamber" system of deliberation in committee of the whole, it should be continued as inviolably sound; that the press does not represent the constituency of the present council, but that its demand for open committee bespeaks the whims of the reporters and editors; that it is unfortunately true that the press is to some extent a moulder of public opinion; that this council hopes to do as well and some better than its predecessor; that Judge Howard, in his farewell address as president of the old council made a lasting impression upon the speaker, and rendered some splendid advise to the present body; that the record of the old council was good, and, that the present council, as well as the mayor must live up to their campaign promises, or they must fail these were the leading features of the president's address. He also proposed the advancement of the old track separation movement by the council, and suggested that one of the two telephone companies in South Bend is superfluous and that something should be done, to the end of saving expense to the public, if possible, to get rid of one of those companies, or get them together. Delay Proposed Compromise. The president stated that he would gladly have the reporters attend the committee meetings, the other members being willing, but when Councilman Hagerty raised the question again, and offered to compromise on the basis that the press be invited in, especially when any matter was up involving a public utility, it was speedily sidetracked to come up at the committee of the -hole" Tuesday night of next week. Councilman Hagerty had in mind the desirability of having the press represented at that meeting next week, when the consideration of the resolution to require payment from traction companies for the use of bridges in the future, is to come up, but as it is that consideration will now, no doubt, take place behind closed doors. The resolution was introduced by Councilman Hagey at the instance of the county council represented at the meeting by Pamuel Leeper and Will A. Crabill, the N. Michigan st. bridge being the one they particularly had in mind. CoiiunlssJoiiers Want Ruling. "The county commissioners want this resolution passed," said Mr. Crabill in a pre-sesslon talk. "Assured that the city will not give the principal use of the bridge away to some street car company, without their standing a part of the expense, the commissioners will go ahead and make the appropriation for the Michigan st. bridge, and we can so have it in course of construction." "This matter has been dallying along for some years," said Mr. Ieeper, "and we now have the commissioners where they are willing to do something if we can but assure them that it will not be spending the county's money to bridge a right of wav for some utility. The resolution, it was argued, would furnish a basis of negotiations with the traction company should it want to use the bridge. The commissioners are not particular about the 20 per cent basis. The council, however, was not prepared to act Monday niuht and the resolution was referred to committee of the whole to be considered at its next meeting. "1 was impressed with the president's talk this evening." said Councilman Hagerty. "with regard to secrecy for committee meetings, hut I do think we ought to admit the press when a matter is up in any way involving a public service corporation." Councilman Buechner. chairman of the committee of the whole, however, raised the question, that the matter shou'id be settled in committee, and he found no difficulty in securing a favorable ruling from the president. Other Business Perfunctory. The two ordinances passed wero mere matters of business, a sort of borrowing by one fund from another in the case of the $5 5,000 transferred from the track separation fund to the water fund, and in the other case, a desirability because the street repair fund has ceased to exist since vehicle licenses are not longer collectible. The petition to change the name of Michigan av. to Lincoln way, was merged with the petition that came from the "molting pot" section of the Commercial Athletic club sometime ago, suggesting change of name in a number of streets, and which the council still has under consideration. A report from former Controller Patrick A. Joyce, on the condition of the city's finances Dec. 31. was also submitted, and went to the committee on ways and means. The report shows $169,951.91 on hand Dec. 1, and $1S5.051.14 Dec. 31. which is virtually the amount left to his successor. The standing committees appointed by Pres. I,ang are as follows: Ways anil means Buechner, Miller and Seifert. Streets, allev and bridges ,'eifert. Hagerty and Goebel. Sewers and drains Wolter. Buech
