COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TERM.

Fight to Prevent Recollection OF Nom.
bers OF Pierce County Board.
C.. F. Fay, chairman, and Joseph Johns, a
member of the board Of county mmissioners
of Pierce county, were in the city yesterday on
q visit to the King county commissioners, While
no formal business was done there was a con-
sultation over the question Of the eligibility for
another term of county commissioners who,
holding office when the territory became state,
were then elected for full term under the state
constitution. Under the present law person
cannot hold the Office for more than two con-
secutive terms, and the point has been raised
that the unexpired portion OF the term at the
time the state constitution went into effect
should count as full term. The same question
has been brought for ward in King county
A fight 10 being waged against the Pierce
county commissioners which il headed by
Nelson Bennett and John I. Long, contractor
whose schemes, it is claimed, cannot thrive
under the present board. The commissioners
propose to make q vigorous resistance 70 the
movement against them. They have already
secured an informal opinion from Attorney
General Jones which Is in their favor, and they
expect to get an official statement to the same
effect from him.
