tellers, when motion was made to elect the
officers by acclamation, which was agreed to,
and they were so chosen.

thanks aud the thanks of his associate officers
for the honor conferred upon them.
Alderman Carpenter moved that committee
of five be appointed to perfect plan by which
all the canvassers could be elected at the same
time. He thought that 1t would save the board
considerable trouble-especially as it was hot
| weather-and the city some $2500.

| land the election officers also"
President Betler could not see how both the
election officers and canvassers could be chosen
at one time.
Alderman McMullins 8 amendment was lost by
party vote.

being "a in favor and 25 against
Alderman Carpenter moved that when the
Board of Alderman adjourns, it adiourns to meet
on the 1st of August, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. His reasons were that if these officers
were selected in June, it would select them ten
weeks before the time required by law, and the
chances are that the board would have to meet
often TO correct the lists.
Alderman McMullin-"We are ready to go on
now"
| Alderman Carpenter-"We are not"
| Alderman Kerr suggested that it would be
wise to make the selections as early as possible,
that the longest possible time might be given to
| correct the list
