OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR THE CITY
ELECTION DECIDED UPON.
List of Presiding Officers, Judges and
Clerks Selected City Charter Will
Govern the Election.

After two hours spent in conferences
between the legal representatives of
the three political parties in the city
election which comes off next Monday
and also with several of the indepen-
dent candidates, the city council met
yesterday at half past six o'clock with
a quorum present.
| The finance committee reported the
| following appropriations:
Twenty-four dollars and seventy
cents from the general fund to pay Ia
| borers employed under the direction of
the public improvement committee;$7
from the school fund for three months
rent of school house at West End !;
| 81, O47.45 from the sewer fund to be
paid to the Greenville Construction
company and charged to Wilding, Mar
shall, Backus & Hines. Adopted.
The petitions of the various candi-
dates to be placed on the official ballot
were then presented and read after
which Hon. Chas. w. Ogden addressed
the council on invitation. He said
they had examined the law regulating
the holding of elections and found an
apparent conflict between the provis-
ions of the state law and the city ordi-
nances. He said the state law pro-
vided for the appointment of three
judges and four clerks, as nearly as
practicable from the various parties,
while the city ordinances provided that
in addition to the presiding officer the
city council should select two judges
and two clerks for each voting prec-
met for each ticket, such officers to be
nominated by the executive committees
of the respective tickets. There be-
ing three tickets in the field it would,
he said, require six judges and six clerks
to comply with this ordinance, where
as the state law only provided for
three judges and four clerks. He said
that after a full discussion by the law
yers representing the three tickets it
had been unanimously agreed that if
the provisions of the city ordinance
were followed it would not invalidate
the election, and would certainly be
much fairer, as it would insure a fair
election. He said there had been some
objection to several persons on the list
furnished by some of the committees
but after a full discussion it had been
decided to elect them and for once have
fair and honest election in San An
tonic.

then appointed:
