sen the time and expense of organizing
municipal corporations, met some OPP
position from his brother southrons
The bill applies to his own town of
Redlands, and to others of it's class,
but 1t was commended by Valentine that
the evil Meserve intends to remove is
not operative in larger cities. Meserve

ing the bill applicable to municipalities
of the sixth class, and it went to the
printer.
Works A. B. 1872 to provide for the
satisfaction of record of real property
mortgages which have been foreclosed

| Huber's A. B. 81, proved rather a
bone of contention. 1t proposes to take
the offices of City Clerk and City Attor-

them appointive by Boards of Trustees
or City Councils. This was vigorously
opposed by Meserve Wade, Cosper and
Fairwealther. the prevailing opinion be-

of the two offices and so vitiate the
whole system in small cities. The
measure was lost, and Huber gave no
tice Of motion to- reconsider.
