extra Adopted.
Considerable merriment was created
when Mr. Miller, of Richie, objected
| to the assessment of 81 on each candi-
| date" He believed in councilmen be-
| ing chosen by the voice of the peo-
pie and he didn't feel like paying
| two dollars for the privilege of run
| ming for Council. Mr. Miller evidently
misunderstood the language of the
resolution in the committees report,
| and there was a good laugh at his
| expense.
While the second branch was walt
| ing for the first branch to conclude its
| business, another laugh was created
| by a motion from a Democratic mem
| Der, to adjourn, which was promptly
voted down.
At $50 o'clock the mayor called the
/ Joint session TO order. Thirteen mem
| bers of the first aud twenty members
| of the second branch answered to their
