kirk Justice Bierer granted to parties
backing the citizens ticket at Perry q
mandamus on Mayor Stone. of Perry.
which causes him to issue a proclama-
ton calling for an election of full set
of municipal officers of Perry from

decision Judge Bierer held that the
terms OF all the general officers of
municipality of the first-class expire in
April of the odd numbered years. The

sternation and will affect the whole
territory. Every city elected city Off
GERS last spring for two years, and it is
now too late to hold an election April 3.
