position Of receipts from the sale of re-
fuse material there will be held shortly.
At a special meeting of council held yes
terday afternoon to consider the paving
question, Mayor Myers brought the sub
ject up and made a staeement.
About Nov. l last, he said, he noticed
that very little money came into the city
treasury from the various departments.
He made an investigation and discovered
that it had been the custom with the heads
of certain departments to put the money
received from the sale of refuse matter
of various kinds into their own pockets.
He Immediately addressed a letter to the
head of each department, notifying him
that thereafter all such receipts must be
strictly accounted for and promptly turn
ed into the city treasury.
on account of statement which had
been recently published in the newspapers
rejecting upon certain city officials the
mayor said, he deemed it proper that
gated by the council.
The following resolution by Alderman
Lester was adopted:

MASS MEETING OF LIBERALS.
To Be Held at the Theater TO-mor-
row Night.

A call has been published for a mass
meeting of the Liberal Grub and all citi-
zens who favor a fair primary to take
place tomorrow night a $50 o'clock in the
theater. The call says the object of this
meeting Is to adopt such measures as may
be just to secure a fair primary election
and to transact such other business as
may properly come before it. The meet
ing will no doubt be an interesting one
According to the resolutions adopted at
the recent meeting of the county eXecu-
tive committee, there are only two more
days in which parties desiring to vote
in the primary of June 10 can register.
The resolutions, as passed, provided that
the egiStratlon, so far as the primary is
concerned, shall close May %, which is
about three weeks before the primary
takes place. There is good many prac-
tically qualified voters who have not reg
istered, among them many who We're reg
lstered TWO years ago, but who, apparent
ly have not so far taken the trouble to
go and register this year.
whether the executive committee sees
fit to make any changes in the resolutions
with regard to the manner of holding the
primary or not 1t will probably make
no difference whatever in the date on
limit of the time within which registra-
ton for the primary is allowed. So those
who do not get their names on the list
to-day or tomorrow will probably be
barred from voting in the primary.
The registration yesterday was a little
more brisk than it has been for sometime
before. There were forty-one names add
5,O3l. The executive committee has not
yet called for copies of the registration
for use in the primaries, but will proba ble
do so at an early date.

merchants who coined money during the
