Motion
Alderman
George

attempt
in

last
night,
to
have
City

E.
A.
Phillips,
dismissed
and

experience
and
ability

constmc-
of
the
other
aldermen,
each'
of
whom
aired
an
opinion
on
the
subject.'
The
seven
other
aldermen
decided
to
toss
out
Mr.
Casey's
motion
after
agreeing
that
Mr.
Phillips'
future
as
City
Engineer
here
should
"stand
or
fall"
on
his
ability
to
produce
satisfactory
streets
during
the
coming

Mr.
Casey's
motion,
which
termed
the
year's
work
'most
unsatisfactory
under
the
direction
of
Mr.
Phillips,"
was
seconded
by
Alderman
Youngs,
who
explained
that
he
did
so
"because"
it
is
necessary
that
this
motion
be
spoken
to
by
council."
Emphasizing
that
he
did
not
intend
to
support,
the
motion,
Alderman
Youngs
assorted
that
City
Engineer
Phillips
"nas
worked
under
difficult
conditions
from
the
standpoint
of
material,
finance
and
labor
and
he
has
not
always
had
the
support
of
council."
"The
big
complaint,"
Alderman
Youngs
continued,
"undoubtedly
is
that
block
of
Third
Avenue
known
as
'Hecate
Strait.'
Mr.
Phillips
says
that
he
believes
he
can

that

think
that
we

Mr.
Phillips
