An End to Elections

The tussle between the city upon the
one hand and the Wallace circus upon
the other is on in earnest. The show
people insist that they will not only
give performances on Sunday next but
also that they intend to parade. They
are billed to show at Agriculture park
which is outside the city limits. and it
| is insisted that no legal power on earth
can prevent their carrying their para
| phernalia, with or without music, through
| the streets of the city to their show
| grounds. The council yesterday, to head
off in a measure the show people. passed
| the following ordinance, the two alb
sentees being Stockwell and Savage:

10 report whether or not this portion of
the street is properly severed.
In the matter of the payment for SER
vices of inspector of grades on the pipe
line of the South Side Irrigation COM
pany, we beg leave to report that this
matter has been adjusted, the said COM
pany having paid the inspector.
In the matter of the demand of the
Southern California Construction and
Water Development company for extra
work on the Maple avenue sewer dis
trict, for s123.SS, recommend the demand
be allowed for s51.ss. this being the
amount for the material used.
In the matter of the demand of w. II.
Griffin for s27 and the demand of Evan

NO LICENSE FOR BAUER
Despite the numerously signed petit
tion filed in his interest last Tuesday,
cure license for the notorious Horse
shoe saloon. The matter is now under
investigation by the police department
and a report will be filed at the next
meeting of the board. Two members
of the board Commissioners Wirsching
and Long, are believed to be favorable
to granting Bauer his license, while
Commissioner Cook and the mayor are
opposed to favorable action. Commits
sioner Barham holds the balance of
power If circumstances are any indi-
cations, the license will not be granted
FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCES
The quo-warranto proceedings now
pending to determine whether or not
the recently annexed districts are really
part of the city will prevent any cleo
ton for bonds for engine houses and sites
being held at this time. as is contemplat-
ed by the Merchants association and
the board of fire commissioners.
1t is even considered probable in legal
circles about the city hall that unless the
legality Of the annexation case shall
have been by that time fully de-
clared, the pending litigation may
throw the regular city election to be
held in December into very chaotic
state. It looks as If the annexation case
has for the time being also upset all cal
culations pertaining to the contem-
plated voting of bonds for the purchase
by the city of it's own water plant.
