FARRELL IN PLACE OF DOYLE.
Corrected Returns Lay the Captain
on the Shelf.

Clerk of Council Bailey compiled with
the law yesterday by reading the official
returns of the municipal election in the
Council chamber. About The only interest
ed visitor was Superintendent Of Public
Works Harry Willink, who happened
along about the time Mr. Bailey entered
the long room to perform this duty.
BY correcting The returns, the result Of
the election as previously announced is
changed Dr. j. G. farrell is credited with
l,5sl votes instead Of 1919, which elects
him over Capt. N. J. Doyle, VINO received
l,522 votes. The error was caused by the
hasty and unsatisfactory completion Of the
returns at the court house. 1t is prob
able that the vote for Dr. farrell, or more
acceptably Alderman Jarrell, was erro-
eously called out at the count AT any
rate, he was officially proclaimed yester-
day as one OF the aldermen-elect, and will
be lnaugurated into Office with the other
successful candidates Monday. The consol-
idated returns by Clerk Bailey also show
thai the vote for Mr.. Myers was 1874.
which reduces his majority over Mr.. Nc
Donough to 1874
The announcement of Capt Doyle's de
feat was a source Of regret to his friends.
until they had gone over the returns and
computed his vote for themselves.
II was the intention OF some McDonough
leaders TO attack capt Doyle on the
ground he was ineligible, and could not,
therefore. take the office if elected Had
this fight been made, II would probably
have caused many not 10 vote for him.
thinking their ballots would be thrown
away, inasmuch as they would be cast
ing It for a candidate who could not be
legally seated. 1t was understood TO be
the claim that hefs a resident of Thun-
derbolt, and not Savannah. When the
question of making this fight was sub
mitted 10 Mr.. McDonough several days
before the election, however. he did not
approve il.
Mr.. Bailey has prepared statement of
the legal cost of the election. The man
ayers each receive $50 a day and the
clerks SO, making a total for all The boxes
of $lf. To this is to be added cents a
name for the lists of voters furnished by
Tax Collector MCGOWAN. Then the cleo
ton people required meals amounting to
something like $50. There is a considerable
reduction in the cost as compared with
the expense under the Old law.

The Michigan regiment went aboard to-

marched through the city behind its band.
The men were in good shape and made
a highly favorable impression. They leave

plumbing board, and, with a view of ex-
pressing their kindly feelings for him, the
following resolutions were passed:
Wherefore, Alderman William Duncan,

of his office.

The resolutions were introduced by City
Engineer VIM, who requested Alderman
Duncan to cede the chair to Mr.. Mccarthy
until they had been adopted. The compi-
ment paid to Alderman Duncan is justly
due, not only for the interchangeable efforts
he has made to have plumbing work gen
orally improved, but for the work he has
done in having the department. created

reform and, after many difficulties had
been overcome, he now sees il working
smoothly and efficiently.

WILL GO IN MONDAY.
The New Council to he Sworn Into
Office at Noon.


Office at Noon.
The new Council will be at the exchange
Monday at y O'Clock for the purpose of
being indicted into Office. Mayor Meldrim
stated at last nights meeting of Council
that the minutes of the present board
will be signed at that time, and the new
members sworn IN.
There will probably not be a great deal
of formality about the affair The new
board will assemble in the Mayors private
office, where ID will remain until the old
board finishes it's business. When this is
completed the new board will be announc-
ed by the city marshal 1t is likely the
members will be sworn in by Judge Robert
FaHigant of the Superior Court. AS Mr..
Myers takes his seat, Mayor Meldrim will
turn over his report Of Councils doings
during his term of office.
Alderman Krouskof may not be pres
ent at the installation. He stated last
night he would probably not be able to
attend the meeting, and embraced the
opportunity to commend the departments
for their good work during the past two
wears. He said the city had been criti-
cised but he conscientiously felt every
member of the board had honestly endeaV-
ored to do his full duty, and had kept the
best interests of the city constantly in
view. He said he quit the City Council
with good will toward all, and retired with
the hopes that Savannah and it's people

WILL CONTINUE ASSESSORS.
Two of the Present Hoard Likely to
he Retained.

It. is the general impression that when
the time of the present board of tax asses
sors expires April l, it will he recOnsti-
tuted by ordinance. IL has been under
stood that no matter which way the eiec4
ton went this would be done as the value
of the board is regarded as having been
well established. The board is at present
composed Of Messrs J. ii. II. Osborne
John schwarz and M. A. O'Byrne. If is
needless to say that Mr. O'Byrne win nor
occupy a place on the next board II is
the belief though, that the other two
members will be retained. As the board
will probably be made appoinuve by tn
Mayor there would be no legal objection
to the retention of Maj. Schwarz in th.a
POSITION, he merely having to resign from,
Council. There is a current impression
that Mr. Philip NJ. Russell win be a can
didate for the third place on the board

the Post Office Department to re-
open the postoffice at Lake City,

brutal killing of the colored Post
master, but Postmaster General
Smith has not decided to accede to
their request, but who has sent a

things and to report whether the
Office should be re-established. In
asmuch as II jury, made up from
that community refused to convict

have participated in the killing of
