the vacancy in the mavors Office caused by
the death Of Mayor Miller will not be Tiled
by election until next April.
The unanimous sentiment among the pco-

the city will be- served oy not holding an
election this tall. Mayor W alters is ,hor-
oughlv familiar with the workings OF the
municipal machinery and his administration
will vary but little from the course laid out
hy the late mayor when he assumed the

There will be no change in the appointees
of Mayor Miller ana everything will run
smoothly along. The election Of council
man from the Fourth ward Is one of the
matters that will occupy tho councils atton-
tiou. This councilman will be selected to
fill Mayor Walters unexplred term. Can
dldates are not very numerous, and in fact
no one has been positively mentioned Tor the

the uncertainty whether there would be an
