THE INSPECTORS NAMED
CITY COUNCIL PASSES ON A PORTION
OF ELECTION OFFICERS.
The Cigarette Ordinance Defeated
New Territory Near Haughville
Annexed to the City.

adjournment OF the meeting the members
went for ride on one of the street railway
ccmpanys new cars which was waiting at
Washington and Alabama streets.
The ordinance fixing license for the man.
ufacture and sale of cigarettes came up for
passage and was defeated. The committee
on public health reported against the ordi-
nance. basing its action on an opinion given
by the city attorney, who held that the
Council could not fix the kind of a license
proposed without permission of the Legis-
lature. Councilman Harston appeared
somewhat vexed at the committees ac-
ton. He said the ordinance was prepared
with view to protecting the health of chill
dren. When the ordinance was first talked
of, he said he went TO City Attorney Kern
and discussed the proposed measure with
him. He understood from Mr.. Kern that
the ordinance might be passed. After Mr..
Harston's remarks, the ordinance was read
a third time, and the vote was called. But
three members voted for the ordinance.
They were Councilmen Golfer, Harston and
Won Spreckelsen. Several OF those who
voted against it explained that they did so
because the city attorney had said the ordi-
nance would not be a valid measure If
passed.
ing for the annexation of certain territory
north Of Haughville was passed with an
amendment introduced by Councilman Cos
tello. This amendment excludes from the
annexed territory two tracts of farm land
of eighty acres each. The original ordi-
nance was introduced last July. Mr.. Bow
ser's ordinance, changing the boundaries of
the seventh precinct of the Fourth ward, so
that the newly annexed territory will be In
cluded, was also passed. The new territory
includes about fifty acres of land bounded
by fremont street on the east Tibbs ave-
nue. on the west, Tenth street on the north
and Mick street on the south.
A resolution was adopted which caused
some of the councilmen to smile when they
voted for 1t. The resolution was to the ef-
feet that since the government is spending
many millions of dollars in dredging rivers
| the members of the Council feel that some
of this work should be done in White river.
Councilman Allen, in voting for the resolu-
| ton, remarked: "I'll vote for 1t. because
think it is harmless as far as the govern
ment Is concerned
BY request Councilman Costello introduced
an ordinance to prevent the holding Of pub
| lie meetings on any vacant lot adjacent TO
private residences. The ordinance covers
religious and political meetings. According
meetings shall not be held except by per-
mission of three-fourths of the citizens liv-
ing within one square of the place where IT
| is sought to hold meeting.
1t was expected that the Council commit
| tee which has been investigating the ele-
waited track system in other cities would
was not brought UP. After the meeting a
member Of the committee said the report
| was not yet ready and would probably be
| delayed until the railroad officials were
given another opportunity of appearing be-
| fore the committee.
