MAYORS In SESSION
DISCUSSING THE BEST METHODS OF
CITY GOVERNMENT
The Lighting Question when
Troubles Seattle Comes Up for
CONFERENCE.-The Factions on
the Question OF Credentials

COLUMBUS. o. Sept &l-The first an
nu6l coafsrsnce of the mayors and coUn-
cilmsn Of the United States. Canada and
Mexico was called TO order this morning
by Mayor Bannock. OF this city, ABOUT
$50 regularly accredited delegates beins
present
Gov. Bushnell delivered the address OF
welcome. He said the mayors congress
would inaugurate another epoch. While
municipal officers for centuries had dealt
with ''municipal problems" even IN long
titled fields modern methods and careful
husbandry can be made to produce boun-
tiful harvests. and he knew that this as
semslage Of municipal officers could effect
fruitful results by the deliberations of the
succeeding DAYS. The close Of the CEN
fury seems 10 find Us In q condition
which presents rs many things 70 Be
done in our cities and towns as there was
at the time Of the foundation OF the GEN.
ters OF population. His address was re-
eeived with enthusiastic applause.
Mayor Black was made chairman OF the
convention and Editor Gordon, Of City
Government secretary. These oTicers
are TO serve only during the sessions OF
the convention prior 10 the formation or
a permanent organization on the closing
day.
Two Factions Develop.
A resolution for the appointment OF a
committee OF five TO report plan or
organization and names Of officers Tor the
first year disclosed the existence OF TWO
factions among the delegates. one In favor
OF proceeding 10 business without any re-
port from any committee on credentials,
the other insisting that the business could
not proceed until an accredited ron or
delegates had been approved by vote or
those present and claiming TO be dele
gates. A lively debate ensued and the
matter was finally compromised by an
agreement that the chairman OF each dele
CATION report TO the secretary OF the con-
vention; that any municipal odlclai
vouched for by the chairman be admitted
as a delegate. and that the chairman ap-
point the committee on organization nom
the roll as then made up.
T'''e ORIGINAL call for this convention was
address. ed to mayors and councilinen
sD.y but the promoters of the movement.
when asked tor copy of the call. did not
produce it. and this mornings action
leaves the gates Of the convention wide
open for policemen, hremen, city clerks
and ward constables, If only the chair
man OF delegation vouches for them as
city officials
