AN ELIMINATION.
During the reading of the minutes of
the several special sessions recently
held, President Dooly became respon-
sible for an incident which takes from
the records an unpleasant incident Just
as Clerk MOretOn was in the midst of
reading the record of Tuesdays special
meeting, President Dolly interrupted,
by suggesting, instead of the minutes
showing that Mr.. Woolley opposed the
appointment of the additional corps of
election judges for the First precinct
proposed by MI Alff, the record be
amended to state only that Mr.. Woolley
placed in nomination the names on his
list. The presidents suggestion found
a ready concurrence from Mr.. Hansen,
and the amendment was ordered made
without dissent.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Wool
ley really did oppose the APP
pointment of Mr.. Alff's nominees, be-
cause they were not representative of
the Mormon people. AS vehemently, he
contended for the appointment of the
election judges of his choice, solely be-
cause OF their standing as church
men.

Chairman Hansen of the committee
on buildings and grounds stated the
new Webster school building was fast
nearing completion. The boilers will
arrive tomorrow, and the steam heat
will be turned on not later than the

continually in action, all the rooms will
be thoroughly dried out in a couple of

the east side. by Monday, Jan. g.
