When the board of Aldermen met in this city on
Saturday to revise the voting list for the election
in ward two, many were surprised to see eN-Al-
derman l.. A. knowlton, enter the room, hang his
hat on peg, and deliberately take his seat at the
board as Alderman for ward two. This was the
most deliberate and bare faced fraud the social
Ell Tax Payers have yet attempted. When the su-
prcmc Court decided that there was no election
of Alderman in ward two some of the Tax Payers
claimed that Mr.. Knowlton held over. This claim
is based ON section Il of the city charter which
saws:
One Alderman and two Common Councilman
shall he elected by each ward, being residents in
the wards where elected; all said officers shall be
elected by ballot by majority of the votes given,
and shall hold their Offices one year from the
third Monday in March and until others shall be
elected i'll their places
twill be noticed that this causcis written in the
plural number, and good lawyers say it means
the members collectively AMI not individually.
If quorum of the board fails of an election, the
| Old board holds over until new one is elected,
but when quorum is elected an individual mem
Der does not hold over. 1t is true that few Years
ago Mr.. Dunton, now Alderman, but then city TO-
licitor, claimed that Mr. stevens held over in ward
when there was no election III thai ward, but the
board did not recognize HIM member.
We learn that just before the June meeting Of
the city council, the so-callcd Tax PAYERS got to-
gcther and majority decided that Mr.. knowlton
could not hold over and he did not appear at that
meeting. MIR. knowlton himself does not believe
he held over, for he testified rs much before the
court in the case last month. Here is his sworn
testimony:
