COUNCIL OF SEVEN.
And the Mayor viii Manage Future Municiia al
AHairs Bill Passed.

The city of Hallowell holds unique
position among the cities OF the state
of Maine. On February II. 1899, an act
to amend the charter OF the city OF
HalloweM passed both branches OF the
Legislature and finally received the
signature of Governor Powers. making
the act a law. The administration OF
all the fiscal, prudential and municipal
affairs of the city will at the March
election pass from the old unto the new
form Of government and the common
council and its prestige will become a
matter of history.
The new city council. which may be
euphoniously styled 1.-The Council OF
Seven" will be composed of one alder
man from each of the five wards. and
two aldermen elected at large. This
board with the mayor constitutes and
is to be called the city council
Although the matter has been spok-
en- of frequently in the columns of the
Journal and the local press, there are
those, citizens and voters of Hallowell,
who perhaps through lack or interest
failed to fully appreciate and realize
the important move, viz: or amend
ing the city charter, and these people
can only be informed that the con-
templated action has become law,
and will be carried into effect at the
next election.
Included in the amendment are
clauses relating to the city marshal
and street commissioner. and these i'm
poptant officials Will be elected directly
by the people.
So far as we have been able to learn
there has not been the slightest remon-
STRANGE to the changing of the charter.
The election of suitable men for city
marshal and street commissioner will
not be attended with whatever of par
TALLY or personal motive chat is ad-
judged characteristic and cannot hut
help influencing public bodies that
may have existed in the past Citizens
generally candidly and thoughtfuly en-
dorSe the change.

these was so light that he would have
seen the other cases. Higgins. the man
who had the worst form of the disease,
is now on a mendinG hand.
The other cases are very light in
deed. There are something like II
houses under quarantine and in all less
than 20 patients who have been the
cause of the quarantine. of these on
ly three have the smallpox. The other
cases are in such a mild form that
there is a serious question in the minds
of the members of board of health
whether or not they should be quaran-
tined. but that there may not be the
slightest chance for exposure the
houses are as rigidly quarantined as
though every person was afflicted with
the most malignant type of the disease.
The unusual steps taken by the
board of health and DR.. F. c. Thayer,
the health officer. has caused all kinds
of wild rumors. One man who was in
Skowhegan, yesterday. heard the re-
port that prominent man had
dropped dead in the street. and that
there are so many sick here with the
disease that there was no one to care
for him. 1t is reports like this that
have caused such general scare
among the people in the surrounding
towns.
That people are beginning to realize
the true situation of affairs here, and
that there is not the slightest danger
and that the unusual precautions are
being taken simply that there may not
be the slightest chance for exposure.
and the usual state of affairs is rapidly
returning.
The board of health has voted to do
away with the system of vaccination
as Is at present carried on by every
doctor in the city The vaccination in
the future viii be done by Health Off

During the whole day. yesterday.

ed and there is a general feeling that
the worst is over.
DR.. Smith, the president of the State
board of health is to be here. today.

thing is progressing according to his
ideas
The time of holding the daily board
of health meetings has been changed
