When asked about the instructions given
to City Clerk Callow relative to the prepa-
ration Of the ballot for the election tomor-
row, City Attorney Linn said today: "Jn
my opinion, the councilmen can only be
voted for by the electors of the ward they
are to represent, but in order to avoid ali
possibility of a second election, instruct
ed the clerk to have the ballots prepared so
the voters in the different wards could vote
for councilmen all over the city if they so
desired The form of the ballot chosen is
perfectly valid for either purpose and is
less expensive l have also instructed the
election officers in the First ward to accept
votes for cOuncilmen in all other wards if
they are presented, and to certify them to
the council. If a question is raised and
the matter Is referred to me l will decide
that votes for councilmen count only in
the wards in which they are cast. If there
is an appeal from my ruling and the courts
reverse my decision it will be unnecessary
to go to the trouble and delay of calling
another election, because the record Of
votes will already be complete and can be
counted the same as if originally cast in
that way"

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
ooMFoRr For LEGISLATORS.

The incoming legislature will find the
old capitol building reftted, repaired,
changed and renovated so that it will
hardly be recognized by its former hab-
itues. An appropriation of $1,000 made at
the last legislative session has been ex-
pended in Improvements and REPAIRS
which include new brick foundation pill
lars under the old part Ofthe building, new
steps in front, new floors upstairs and
down, new roof for the old part of the
building, a double coat of fire proof paint
for the entire roof, two coats of paint for
the entire exterior of the building, an in
side stairway at the rear of the representa-
tive hail. twO-story extension at the rear
of the building containing patent water
closets and toilet rooms upstairs and
down, a sewer system and plumbing to
connect with all parts of the building, en-
larging the senate chamber upstairs to
about One-half greater than its former
size, partitioning and fitting up committee
rooms upstairs, etc. In addition to all
these changes, Teitting of the interior will
include new carpets in the senate chamber,
committee rooms, stairs and Railways, and
some necessary new furniture The in
terror woodwork has all been cleaned, and
repainted wherever necessary, the hard
finished walls and ceilings kalsomined
windows repaired and refitted with
weights curtains, etc. In short, the en-
tire building will be comfortable and in
better repair than it ever has been. 1t will
be more befitting the great state of Wash

ditiOn. A goodly supply of fuel has beer
laid in, and legislative supplies will be Oh
