\ CoLuMBIA, July 1.-THE tie now existing |
In the Columbia borough council and the |
action of the councimen In the solution OF |
the matter IN question that IL now agitating
the borough. The Republicans had gained
control of council at the last borough election,
the membership standing FIVE Republicans
70 four Democrats This state Of affairs
caused the borough offices to be filled
by men of the same political faith as
the dominant party. BY the death Of
Mr.. Payne, this supremacy has been lost
and the council is now tie. The sue
cessor of Henry Kitch, the present engineer
of the opera house, will be elected at the next
meeting of council, which will be on Tuesday,
July 14th. Kitch is Democrat and would
have been in all probability compelled to
vacate the position II the Republicans had
control. Several different propositions have
been advanced by different parties as TO the
the Democrats should vote for Republican
TO succeed the deceased councilman and the
Republicans will in turn vote for the reten-
ton of Kitch. Others are of the opinion that
the winning cards are held by the Democrats
and that Kitch will not be removed from his
position. Many persons think that the mat
ter should be deferred until the next borough
election can decide of what political party
the councilman should be.
