Now for Els ctiun.


red!strct the city into four wards, hut
a majority of ali the inen.lers cou!an i
agree upon the lines. Mcesrs Former
and Marty OF the first ward, and Stew
ar: Of the second, wanted it one way
and Messvs. Jennings and Vincent Of
the third wanted it another way. So
they adjourned until Thursday, when
they met and II. I. Connor was present
10 vote with the tiysl and second ward
councilmen. Each division claimed, Of
course, that they represented the
people in the natter--aud in this they
were nnques,ionably correct, for the
people elected them for that purpose,
and had 40 other manner of being
represented. Bat how Well they rep
resented the sentiments. Of the people
cannot he Judged by the various COM
lnents heard about the city. Accord
ing to the ordinance introduced and
which passed ITS first reading the first
ward extends from the creek to the
eastern limits OF iie city ON Seventh
street, thence north taking in Nam
moth springs addition; hence west four
blocks to third ward aud south on q
line between y. 7. Evans addition aud
Mammoth Springs to q point near the
Catholic church, thence over to the top
of the hill back of here Holmes tailor
shop is; thence along Petty avenue Oh
the hill between upres and lower town
to Tenth street, and down TO the creek
by the power house. following the
creek down to place OF beginning on
Seventh street. Second ward is the
same as it has hsen excepting that ,!,.
dividing line betwe n 1t an t!irt;
ward. now extends from near ta-
power house across TO College avenue,
west on College avenue to Fifth stree;
and north taking in tile soldiers home,
while on the southeast corner the Old
second ward is cut off on Lincoln
avenue, leaving the Ca,holicon IN
fourth ward. Third ward is changed
partially by throwing the soldiers
home into the second, and the Mann
moth springs addition ,as described into
the first ward. Fourth ward is from
Seventh street south, between the
creek and the eastern limits of the
city, taking in the Catholicon addition
from Lincoln avenue east.
That's about the shape and size of
it as near as we can describe it so that
people can form something of an idea
Of the dividing lines.

There are five coucilmen, eight school
directors and a city treasurer to be
elected ca April 18th. We believe
they should be men who are interested
in the general welfare of the city-the
city entire as we'll as their respective
wards; men who can see what is to the
best interests of tie city above patty
strife and personal jealousies; men who
are broad minded enough TO cast aside
personal preiudices and see things
fairly and form reasonable conclusions;
men who will not convert or pervert
public trast into private snap.
There are plenty Of such men, with
stamina and good sense enough to
make excellent officials, and we have
sufficient faith in the intelligence and
good, honest intentions of the people,
to believe that just such men as we
have alluded to will be put forth and
elected. 1t is no time or place to
squabb!e over these undesirable and
thankless places. Personal friendships
and individual preferences should be
ignored in the interest of the harmoni-
Gus welfare of Hot Springs.
Who are the people, and where are
they
| 1t remains for them 10 assert them
selves.
