James Smith for the seat of Samuel
Hunter, from the Sixth ward. was re-
ported as abandoned by Smith. Aid.
McGowan presented minority report
as to the McArdle-Durnam contest,
which read that he deemed it his duty,
in Justice to both parties, to demand a
recount, as it had been demonstrated
| that the judges of election were ignor-
ant of the law. and that number of
ballots had been improperly counted.
j. W.'Lawrence, attorney for McArdle,
asked leave to address the council, but
the courtesy was denied him. 1t is
| needless to say that the majority report
| of the committee was adopted, and MI.
| Reeves was sworn in and seated.
| The remainder of the business trans
| acted related almost entirely to the fill
ing of offices, appointments, the recep-
ton of reports, etc.
