INJUNCTION INCUBATIONS.
The Council Called Togetner by his
Honor-He Will Fight the In-
junction Suits to Death-
Hls Motion Lock
wood fails to
carry.
A special notice was served yester-
day by the mounted police on the
council members. It read as follows:
“You are hereby requested to at-
tend a special meeting of the city
council to be held at 5:30 o’clock this
evening at which I will submit to
your honorable body the several in-
junctions issued from the district
court of Bexar county and served
upon the city of San Antonio and my-
self as its mayor and such other busi-
ness as I may bring before you.
Bryan Callaghan. Maj’or.”
At 5:30 the council members were
all in their seats with the exception
of aidermen Fest and Guerguin.
As soon as the council was called to
order the mayor laid before them his
special message opening with these
ominous words—“ Gentlemen : Events
of the gravest character has trans-
pired since your last meeting which I
think it my duty to inform you of.”
Though not so voluminous as the or-
dinary presidential message the doc-
ument is entirely too lengthy to justi-
fy a reproduction here particularly as
it contained little or nothing not pre-
viously known. It is in short a reci-
tal of the bond matter from the time
the election for their issue was ordered
until the injunction of Judge Noo-
nan was obtained at the instance
of Alderman-at-large Bolton. From
this recital the Mayor shows that he
made the award of the $200000
bonds in such a peculiar manner as in
his opinion would thwart an injunc-
tion which he had reason to tear
would be asked for. That iie was not
successful in so doing and that the in-
junction was asked for and not
granted by the judge of the district
court. Complaint is made that the
small sum ot $lOOO is named as the
penalty in this suit in view of the
large sum enjoined and the opinion
expressed that this was because the
writ of injunction was prayed for by
an alderman-at-large of the "city.
The message also recited the fact
that an injunction had issued against
the city by the San Antonio Street
Railway Co. the plaintiff corporation
giving $5OOO bonds in which the city
is restrained from interfering with
the laying by said company of its
tracks on the west side of Alamo
plaza. Speaking of the first and sup-
plemental writs of injunction in the
street railway case the message says:
“The writ of injunction is an extraor-
dinary one and ordinarily will not be
granted when a party has a complete
remedy at hlw.” It then proceeds to
argue that the full remedy could have
been had by the street car company at
law and that an injunction was not
necessary. Also that the city has
had no chance to be heard and that
all it can do is to go for the bond in
sight for whatever damages may ac-
crue.
Having finished his reading an
awful silence fell upon the council
broken finally by Aiderman Kalteyer
smilingly calling for the record of the
bond issue. This read Mr. Kalteyer
charged that the issue was not in ac-
cordance with the charter nor of the
special ordinance governing their
issue. To this the mayor stated that
the city had suffered injury but he
did not deny the soft impeachment.
Kalteyer’s statement remaining un-
challenged he did not feel constrained
to say more and awaited develop-
ments.
Aiderman Lockwood then addressed
the council defending the mayor’s ac-
tion in general and the bond issue in
particular with his right at the same
time leading out with his left for the
fellows who obtained the injunction.
He was followed by Aiderman Boel-
hauwe with a carefully prepared man-
uscript in which he endeavored to
show that the injunction would dam-
age this city some $6000000.
Aiderman Bolton intimated that he
was not ready to answer the insinua-
tions of his colleagues but that on a
future occasion he would pay his ad-
dresses to them.
Aiderman Lockwood moved that
the mayor’s message be received and
adopted and that the mayor be au-
thorized to employ counsel to assist
City Attorney Bergstrom in defending
the" city’s interests in the injunction
suits.
Aiderman Bolton.—What’s the use
in doing that ? What have we an at-
torney for? Isn’t lie able to get along
without assistance?
The Mayor— The city attorney
though an able lawyer lias his hanus
so full of business that I know he will
need assistance In fighting the in-
junction.
Aiderman Bolton.—Then as lam
interested in the injunction suit hav-
ing employed a lawyer to represent
me in that action I shall decline to
vote.
The Mayor.—Yes; you are repre-
senting yourself and not the city.
Certainlyif you so earnestly desire it
I will excuse you from voting.
Lockwood’s motion was put to a
vote resulting in 7 yeas and 2 nays
Kalteyer and Wulff voting in the
negative.
The mayor announced with regret
that as two-thirds of the aidermen
elected were necessary to pass any
motion involving the expenditure of
the city’s money the Lockwood mo-
tion was lost.
Council was declared adjourned
and his honor sardonically remarked
to Kalteyer that he had “better laugh
now: take a real good laugh and re-
lieve yourself.”
Kalteyer retorted “I will laugh
when and where I please and I
don’t propose to be insulted by you or
anyone else either.”
The mayor got on his auricular and
waltzing over toward Kalteyer re-
marked that the council was not in
session and that if he considered
himself insulted he Kalteyer knew
what he could do. The "two stood
glaring at each other for a while but
no blows were struck and the seance
ended.
Mrs. General Stanley and daughter
and Lieut. Rumbough’s wife two
children and nurse have left the city
for some weeks’ stay in Perry’s park
Colorado.
