POLICY
An
attack
by
Alderman
Clifford
Ham
on
the
city's
street
situation,
which
he
described
as
"disgraceful
and
ridiculous,"
was
brought
up
short
by
the
other
aldermen
at
last
night's
council
meeting
and
called
forth
a
rebuke
by
Mayor
Daggett
for
the
manner
in
which
the
subject
was
brought
before
council.
During
the
inquiry
period
at
the
meeting
Alderman
Ham
asked:
"Is
thi3
council
satisfied
with
the
work
goin?
on
with
our
roads?"
Falling
to
get
an
answer
from
any
of
his
colleagues,
Alderman
Ham
arose
again
and
said
that,
In
his
opinion,
the
condition
of
the
city's
streets
was
far
from
satisfactory,
that
it
was
"not
only
disgraceful
but
ridiculous."
In
answer
to
a
questton
by
Alderman
Hills,
as
to
what
should
be
done,
Alderman
Ham
replied
that
council
"should,
take
steps
to
get
the
advice
of
an
experienced
road
man."
Alderman

the

When
Alderman
Hill's
pointed
out
that
the
cltv
had
only
a
lim
ited
amount
of
funds
for
street
work,
Alderman
Ham
replied:
"We
are
spending
money
on
our
roads
but
are
we
getting
our
money's
worth?"
This
stirred
up
Mayor
Daggett
to.
a.pplnt.
of
jrfder.
..v.w-
"If

is

of

let
him
present
a
motion
to

the
Mayor
said.
"Your

Mayor
Daggett
later
suggested
that
in
cases
where
aldermen
seek
Information
they
should
sit
in
on

meetings
and
gain
their
Information
there.
"Then,
if
you
still
are
not
satisfied,
you
can
bring
the
matter
up
before
council
in
the
form
of
a
motion,"
he
said.
Alderman
Johnston
agreed
with
Alderman
Youngs
that
the

"don't

on
the

that
to

work
with(

was
not
fair
"because
