The COMING CRY ELECTION election
for Trustees and other officers for the city
takes place on the first Monday of March
next. Heretofore FIVE Trustees have been
elected annually, to serve for enc year each.
Under the Act Of the last Legislature amend
ing the law incorporating the city in 1862,
it is provided that on the first Monday of
March, eighteen hundred and seventy-one,
there shall be elected five Trustees, two of
whom shall go out of Office at the expiration
of one year, and three at the expiration Of
two years, so that after the next municipal
election there shall be annually elected two
and three alternately. This year there is to
be elected three Trustees for the long term
and two for the short term, next year there
will be two elected for full term of two
years. Several times within few years,
questions as to the legality Of elections held
under the incorporation acts have arisen,
sometimes causing bad feeling and entailing
expense on individuals or the public. Our
object in calling attention to this matter now,
is that our citizens may know that the law
has been changed and that the Trustees may
have their attention drawn in time to take
the necessary steps to secure a legal election
We believe our city affairs are in q satisfac-
tory condition, it remains with the people to
continue them So With care used in select
ing Trustees our municipal organization can
