A local editorial urges Mr HL Youree to resign from the City Council citing alleged legal conflicts with an 1867 ordinance barring city officers from direct interests in contracts. The piece notes Youree’s link to the Waterworks Co and questions governance in bond plans and a related wind clock contract. It claims a political motive to push a public vote on buying the waterworks and implicates Youree’s brother, Capt. Peter Youre, as a stockholder benefiting from any sale. The writer asserts the public wishes council action to defeat the waterworks scheme and calls for Youree to step down.
