and Mr.. Baugh looked somewhat
astonished, az he inquired, 'ls that the
new charter"
The question was answered by
chorus from the Republican side, who
said so yes, that the new charter, it's
just as you made it" He then raised
the point of order, that as the law re-
quired the inspector to advertise the
election five days before it took place,
an election held by these inspectors
elected by Council would not be legal
This was overruled by the President,
who said that inspectors could be chosen
on the curb stone at the time of
opening polls, and the election would be
legal.

was adopted, instrnCting the Street

posed to paying the bill. On his mo-
