charter. The fee OF % cents win not
only count toward election expenses,
but tho issuing Of receipt will be
valuable for purposes of Identification.
On the matter Of amending tho
charter objection was made to the
clause requiring the mayor 10 organize
commission TO consider any amend
ment proposed by any citizen. A. ID,
Warner said there might be thousand
cranks in the city each with ideas OF
his own and the speaker did not think
il right for city officials to be bothered
by them. Peter j. Ford agreed with
Mr.. Warner and moved the adoption of
his suggestion, that PROPOSED amoDd-
ment must be advocated by petition
bearing 100 names. This would not
prevent any citizen from going before
the Legislature to advocate an amend =
ment.
Coming back to the question Of
electing councimen Mr.. Monaghan
moved the adoption OF the ward system
now in use, and City Councilman
Smith seconded the motion. Com.
missioner Taylor said that the con-
census of opinion from l2o cities was
in favor of electiDg councllmen at
large. Mr.. Alexander thought the city
would have better government through
the present system, but Single Taxer
Koran favored the system proposed by
| the charter. He said the politicians
were already squealing
Il. S. Gore and William L. Hawkins
suggested that each ward nominate a
man for Council, and from the whole
ticket the six highest Of the two
parties should be elected. This Rug-
gestion was put in the form of a
motion after Mr.. Monaghan had with
drawn his amendment.
Il. e. Bach thought that the pro-
posed amendment was Unnecessary in
that each party would undertake. TO get
out its strongest ticket. He declared
that il the election were to be by the
whole city the nominations must also
be by the whole city. He held there
fore that the nomination by wards
under the scheme proposed would be
disastrous. II. q. Knowles and Mr..
Horan spoke on the matter. After
more discussion of this point the
Hawkins. Gore motion was defeated.
Thereupon Mr.. Thatcher renewed his
motion to adopt the resolution he had
offered earlier in tho evening. Isaac
II. Jobnson raised objection to an
apparent DISCRIMINATION in section 0:
which provides that no tax for schoo
purpoaes shall be assessed against rea
estate owned by colored persons, and
moved that it beistricken out, but biz
motion, although seconded, was moi
entertained and Mr.. Thatcher's re
solution was carried, after which thu
meeting adjourned.

American devices or achievements
drawn from foreign publications. This
subject has, however been taken I'm by
the English journal, Industries and
Iron, and although it states that an
American process for renewing these
lamps after the tilament had been
broken has been developed it does not
give the names of inventors nor state
that the process has come into anything
like general application. Its descrip-
tlon OF the operation is therefore, given
for what it ia worth. 1t states that
commercial SUCCESS has been made of
the PROCESS for renewing burnt.out
lamps which renders possible the use of
the old bulb ut very slight expense.
BY tho new method the collar or bare
end OF the lamp il not disturbed, the
old filament being removed and the
new one placed through a small hols

tip. Tho small hole is subsequently
closed exactly in tho same manner as
in the case of the new lamp, leaving
nothing to indicate in the finished re.

ever been opened. 1t is stated that
some 400 600 lamps have been repaired
by this method, the fiIament being in
serted through the small hole retsrred
to by akillful twist of the hand, and
secured IN position by special carbon
paste. The black deposit on the inside
