Clement in the chair. The first business
of the evening was to canvess vote of
Sixth ward on councilman. Coffin
said he noticed in the certifcation
John Herrig and John Hearing" in an
other place The discrepancy was enough
of a discrepancy to make two different
names.
Glaze said there had been some doubts
as to legality and inquired OF the city at
torney for the section giving power to call
the election.
To this the city attorney replied that the
power to do so was implied and it was too
late to question the election.
Coffin asked what was needed to correct
the mistake.
The city attorney said that one of the
tally sheets being correct the other could
be changed.
Coffin suggested that it would be we'll to
appoint the two men elected, which would
make il sure that everything was legal.
Healy thought there was no question as
to legality.
The clerk then read the vote showing j.
II. Mercer and John Herrig elected by the
vote formerly published in the EAGLE.
Healy moved the two men be declared
elected, and the motion carried unani-
mously.
The mayor said that If the council
wanted the two men appointed he could
do so in minute.
Glaze said if there was any doubt, the
appointment might be appointed.
No serious objection was made, how
ever. and the two new members were
sworn in.

consisted of twelve members, 1T would be
well to call the roll alphabetically No
