FIXING THE MINUTES.

All the members, save Councilmen
CalliSter, Dale, lie Prohon, Morris and
Mulvey, were present. The minutes of
the entire session were read, correctd
and approved. The most radical cor
rection was the expunging from the
minutes of all reference to the allega
ton of Deputy City Recorder Reiser
made in confidence to his superior,
about the tampering with the Forty
second districts tally@sheet in the can
vassing room, whereby Edgar Howe
was given a majority Of one over Henry
NJ. Dinwoodey, and the sensational pro-
ceedings following. However, O'Meara
facetiously wished the record to show
that the board offered its apology to
Deputy Reiser.
City Attorney Mckay submitted the
draft of a resolution enaloodying the
declaration of results. 1t was read and
adopted. The declaration is given here
