However,
they
did
not
come
before
council
until
March
24,
alter
the
aldermen
had
revised
the
city's
option-granting
policy.
However,
between
March
12,
,
when
the
pulp
mill
was
announced,
and
March
24,
when
the
new
option
policy
was
approved,
five
other
applications
were
received
from
prospective
purchasers
for
options
on
business
property.
There
was
a
strong
possibility,
the
aldermen
felt,
that
these
latter
applications
had
been
made
for
purposes
of
speculation.
AldtTman
T.
N.
Youngs
jnoved
that
Mr.
Morgan
and
Mr.
Hills
be
given
60-day
options
on
the
lots
they
sought
at
their
assessed
value
of
$2,750,
declaring
that
he
believed
they
had
made
the
application
with
a
legitimate
intention
of
starting
a
new
business
on'thc
land,
"I
doubt
If
these
people
had
apy
knowledge
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
pulp
mill
here
two
days
In
advance
of
the
actual
announcement,"
he
said,
"I
think
it
was
a
well-kept
secret
and
that
not
even
any
of
us
knew
that
it
was
coming."
Alderman
Youngs
urged
that
the
council's
new
option
policy
be
made
rectroactive
to
March
12,
the
day
that
the
pulp
mill
project
was
announced,
basing
lus
contention
on
the
possibility
that
applications
for
options
made
after
that
date
might
have
been
done
so
for
specula
live
purposes.
I
This
would
have
allowed
the
granting
of
lhe
Morgan-Hill
options
but
would
have
outlawed
five
other
applications
made
between
March
12
and

24.

Alderman
Arthur
Brooksbank
challenged
a
statement
by
A1-.
dcrman
Youngs
that,
if
Mr.
Mor-
gah's
application
had
been
ad
dressed
to
city
council
and
not
to
Uie
finance
committee,
it
would
have
come
up
at
the
March
10
council
meeting
and
been
approved
on
a
year-length
i
basis.
"I
Uiink
Mr.
Morgan
is
presuming
if
he
claims
that
there
would
have
been
no
objection
to
granting
a
year's
option
on
March
10"
Alderman
Brooks-
bank
declared.
"I
would
have
objected.
I
always
have
been
I
think
we
Z
aucai
itizens
to
get
as
much
for
tity-owned
property
as
we
can."
Alderman
McKay
joined
Al-i
derman
Ham
in
agreeing
that
council's
new
policy
should
not
be
made
retroactive
to
March
12
but
that
it
should
start
on
March
24
when
it
was
passed
by
council.
Alderman
McKay
moved
an
amendment
that
"all
op
tions
requested
up
to
the
last
council
meeting
(March
24)
be
granted
on
a
00-day
basis."
In
the
vote
which
followed,
deadlock
ensued
when
Aldermen
Ruddcrham,
McKay,
Ham
and
Nlckcrson
stood
for
the
amend
ment
and
Aldermen
Youngs,
Casey,
Black
and
Brooksbank
voted
against.
Mayor
Nora
Arnold
cast
the
deciding
vote
for'
the
.amendment
thus
approving
the
granting
of
all
five
options
sought
up
to
March

The
options

criticized
the

adopting
an
immoveable
attitude
that
they
must,
have
coal
from
the
Ruhr
or
they
would
agree
to
nothing.

circulated
a
proposal
'by

for

this
year
which,
he
said,
should
be
made
effective
by
abolishing
all
