Under the head of miscellaneous bust
ness the question of filing the vacancy
in the council caused by the resigna-
ton OF Mr.. j. j. Daily, was taken up.
The two names in nomination were
Thomas W. Jennings and H. G.. McNIil-
Ian.
Councilman Clawson in speaking to
his nomination of Mr.. Jennings, said
that he was a thoroughly competent
man for the position; one whose wise
and conservative counsel would be of
great advantage to the city in the fin
ancial dilemma in which it would soon
be placed. He thought the appointment
OF Mr.. Jennings would effectually pre-
vent the possibility of the water works
having to be sold to keep the city de-
partments running.
Young seconded the nomination of
Mr.. Jennings, but said there was no
cnance OF the water works being sold
He thought Mr.. Jennings was a very
capable man and one whose appoint
ment would please the people of the
Fourth precinct. Mr.. Young, however.
