THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUM3ER2O6. COMMITTEE NAMED TESTEIfI BT MAYOR Those who are to Investi gate Affairs of Council TWO FROM CITIZENS AND TWO 4LDERMFN Mayor Crovatt Names Hon. W. E. Kay, Dr. D D Atkinson and Aldermen Cook and Robin son on the Committee. Mayor Crovatt yesterday appointed the joint committee of two citizens and two members of council to inves tigate tiie charge made by Aider man J. E. du Bignon. The resolution calling investigation was in troduced by Alderman Dart: The mayor names the following as tire committee: Hon. W. E. Kay and Dr. D. i). At kinson, from the citizens, and Aider men W. B. Cook and L. A. Robinson from tiie city council. The appointment of this committee grows out of tiie recent action of council in leasing the foot of George street to Alderman du Bignon. A number of citizens criticised the action of council in granting the lease to an alderman. In a card pub lished in these columns, Alderman du Bignon stated that some of the aldei meti were daily making contracts with the city and that lie could see no reason why there should be any objection to him leasing the lot in question. At the meeting of council last Thursday night the matter was re opened, and Alderman Dart intro duced the following resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, In an article published over his signature in The Brunswick Dairy News, in its issue of August 18th, 1903, Alderman J. E. du Bignon used tiie following language: (An al derman can now make a contract with tiie city to furnish suppliesof all kinds: an alderman can, it seems, contract to do ail kinds of repair work, and furnish material of every description, which is being done every day.) the effect whereof was to lay upon every member of this body, saving tiie mayor, tiie charge of violating tiie law of tiie State, as contained in Section 85 of our present City Code, compiled in 1901, and thus to reflect upon each alderman of this city— Be it therefore, resolved, That the mayor appoint at once a committee of two from this body and two from the citizens at large of this city, with power to summon witnesses and pa pers before them, and hear evidence: and whose duty it shall be to enquire at tiie earliest date practicable and report to this body, so soon as can be done by them, whether any alderman or aldermen lias or hare, at any time since, any of tiie present members of Council have been in office, violated the provisions of said law; and if so. who, and in what manner, and when was any such breach of duty commit ted. It is expected that the committee appointed by tiie mayor yesterday will at once begin tiie investigation and a full report will probably be ren dered at the next meeting of council i 1 Sugar Bounties Removed.
