all parties may have until thirty days
prior to election in which to present their
nominations for election judges. 1t was
now thirty-three days before election and
the Prohfbitionists might hold up the list
ON that account because they were
scarcely represented among the other
names presented.
The chair ruled the motion to refer out
of order and the clerk proceeded with the
roll call. Assemblypnan Dix did not vote,
but requested the opinion of the corpora
ton attorney. asking whether the pas
sage of the bill at this time would be
legal.
Attorney Markham replied that any.
party was entitled to file list of nonlina-
! tons for the consideration of the council
until thirty days of the election If, in
the two next days the Prohibitionist
party should file lists, they could demand
that the council reconyene and consider
the lists for judges. Unless the council
complied the lists would be ipvaidated.
In reply to a question from Mr.. Dix,
Mr.. Markham stated the council would
not then be obliged to select any of the
names from the list presented by the
Prohibitfonists unless it was shown that
their party had polIed the third largest
vote at the last election. BY law tile
council is compelled to select tie names
fer judges in each precinct from three
different parties, and if the council had
not done SO the list under consideration
as invalid.
The chair then ordered the clerk to pro-
coed with the roll call, all voting yes with
the exception Of Messrs. Denny and
Warner, who favored sending the bill to
committee.

rose. Said he: when 1 first read in
the papers that the board of aldermen
had arbitrarily named a commission to
appraise the value of the new market
site l was very much surprised, because
the Constans site has friends in the as
sembly as well as the board OF aldermen
believed that the assembly ought to
have been considered in the selection of
the list, but since then [ have heard
that 1t was not intended to insert the
names in the blank forms prepared by
the corporation attorney at hat session.
but that conditions rose demanding that
the commission be named at once, with
out further consideration. Now, so far
the assembly has had no consideration in
making up the list and therefore / pre-
pose that the name of Frederick L. Bay
ard be appointed in place of William
0'Brien.''
The list of appraisers was then ap-
proved as amended by Mr.. Dig
