City Charter to give the second Ward
four Councilmen. as is houid have, ac-
eordIng TO It's population, but such a
howl went mp frem the lava beds that

kind.

was the duty of Congress, and not the
Commissioners of King County, and
that the Com ;nissionsrs had no right IA
dispose of the peoples money in any
but legal manner. 30 1t will DO II an
