A temporary successor to ]. F. Adams,
elected by the city council tomorrow, I'M
less majority of the latter body change
their minds between now and the time
of meeting. In spite Of the pressure be-
members to elect q school director at
once the councilmen are not disposed
to act hastily. One reason given for
postponing action Is that they have not
yet had an opportunity to learn anything
Of the wishes of the people of the Sew
enth ward. Some of the residents of the
ward have consulted different council
men and requested that the fight for the
office be kept out Of politics. They want
as good man to succeed Adams as that
worthy was corrupt.
Until the question Of how the special
election is to be held is settled. the ordi-
nance adopted at Fridays special ses-
sion will be held up. This matter will be
thoroughly discussed tomorrow, and
some line of action will probably be map

while there is some difference of opinion
1t is generally believed that the council
may proceed with the election in the
manner intended without resorting to
primary elections. The opinion of the
city attorney will be asked on the sub
ject, and upon that opinion will depend
the action taken.
If the special election is held as pro-
vided for in the ordinance adopted Fri
day, the cost to the city will be about
500. If the election must follow pri-
mary, the cost will be more than twice
that amount. If the nominations are
made by petition instead of by conven-
ton no primary election will be neces-
sary. If, however, the element of poll
tics is made to enter into the matter. and
there is a party fight for the Office, the
election will not be held on the day desig
mated In the ordinance, February 10, as
there will not be time to fully comply
with the law

INQUIRIES EXPLAINED
Mistake Made by an Eastern Paper
as to the Bond Issue

MlSCdAc Mdue Oy IN EASTERN 1uPer
as to the Bond Issue
For the past two weeks City Clerk
Hance has been receiving dozens OF let
tiers from eastern bond buyers and brok-
ers, asking for particulars as to the
proposed issue of fire department bonds
by the city. All of the letters have in
dictated that the writer's were under the
impression that the proposition to issue
the bonds had carried at the special cleo
ton of December 7th, when in fact, it
had been defeated. Captain Hance could
not understand why this misunder-
standing existed. He answered the let
tiers, telling all inquirers that the issue
had been defeated. giving the vote. For
a time he supposed that the fact that a
majority vote had been cast for the
bonds had been considered victory for
the proposition. the brokers not having
been informed that a two-thirds vote
was necessary.
The matter was explained yesterday
when the city clerk received q marked
copy of the Daily Bond Buyer, New
York publication, devoted to stocks,
bonds, ETC.. and generally circulated in
financial circles. This paper is consid-
cred an authority on bond matters. but
in the matter of the proposed local bond
issue 1t published an erroneous state
ment. Under the head of bonds para
graph appeared stating that the bonds
had carried.
Captain Hance had sent the paper a
telegram on December 7th, in which he
stated that the fire department bonds
had been defeated. In order to be GER
tain that he had made no mistake he
secured from the Western Union yester-
day copy of his telegram. Either some
mistake has been made in the transmits
sion Of the telegram or it had been mis-
understood at the New York end Of the
line.
