LOVE THE LUCKY ONE.
DR.. Aver seconded the nomination Of Mr..
Love and said NIce things about the we'll
known attorneys career.
Mr.. Ebert said if th- Mayor had no legal
hight to nominate the board had no right 70
elect.
EMr. Taber sail that as there was ques-
ION Il would do no harm for the Mayor TO
appoint OF place Mr.. Love IN nomination.

moUs.y confirmed, and so the Legality II the

ana the Mayor.
DR. ANTIQUES NOT IN IT
1t NAV be interesting to know that Just
before the regular meeting the board held a
CdUcu, 10 the CUmmIttee-TOOm. There was
q prolonged discussion in reference 10 the
merits Of the claims Of candidates When
INF Tmel that Justice Low had declined TO
be nominated the Supervisors Quickly
agreed that Mr.. Love was the next best
man on the list and therefore they would
eject him TO the office.
AS TO the selection Of a representative to
succeed the late Supervisor Evans the
Mayo or was plainly given to understand that
there " as no possible chance OF DR.. Ar
tgltes' nomination being confirmed. As
only three members Of the board would
have voted to confirm Dr.. Antiques as Su-
pervisor of the First Ward. his Honor de-
cided not TO make any nomination for the
present That is why no nomination was
made last night.
." IT'S NOT A ROBBERY"
A dozen property-Owners appeared and
protested loudly against the proposed extern
sion of POtTeTO avenue from Twenty fifth
street south 70 the county line. They said
II would be a useless expense, because to
extend the avenue it would require a deep
cut similar to that in Second street. One
aged landowner declared that il wOulG be a
ridiculous proposition to cut through PO-
tTeTO Hill. "Why," said he, ''it's a wild
region out there. One can shoot ducks from
ones library window. dig clans at the door
step and hear serenade Of croaking bull
frogs all night"
Supervisor Taber asked that the matter
be postponed for a week, in order TO hear
the petitioners, but Supervisor Ebert
amended by moving TO sustain the protest
Dr. Aver was also in favor OF the protest.
Chairman Taber of the Street Committee
was anxious for continuance and denied
that he was trying 10 push the matter
through. He declared that he was not try
lng to rob any property-owner and that no
one was going to be robbed. The land to
be condemned was not worth more than
SlQ5,UOO or $4,000.
Being put to a vote the motion to sustain
the objection was defeated and action was
postponed until next Monday night.
