This plainly leaves it in the power OF
the council to prescribe the term of office
as well as defining their powers and duties.
The first term of Mayor Carse ended in
April. and with it ended all his appoint

the grand stand win be within few blocks
of the centre of the city, thus obyiating the
necessity of a tedious trip every time the
boat-house or grand-stand is visited The
course is near the union depot, making the
transfer of boats from car to course an easy
task. On Saturday, June 18th, or in less

Editor of the Argus.
1t seems to me that the course pursued
by Mayor Carse, in refusing to make ap-
pointments of city offices, as contemplated
and provided by law. is in violation of the
spirit and intent of the law. 1t is also
discourteous to the council If | am cor
rectly informed he stated at the last meet

understand the law to be that the officers
appointed hold their position for two
years" Now il Mayor Carse is sincere in
this statement, why did he appoint the
marshal and and superintendent of water
work.
Are they exceptions to this rule Ger
tainly they are not. Then how does he
reconcile his action in making these two
appointments with his ascertains at the
last council meeting
MIR. Carse seems to forget that while
aldermen while under Mayor Davenport,
he was very persistent in demanding the
rights of aldermen, and was among the
formost to find fault with Elk Mayor
