NltN Solicitor George NJ. Watson is Of
the opinion that the additional COM
mon councilmcn must be elected this,
spring. in the even numbered wards
despite the fact that "additionals''
were elected in these wards last sprinp.
Ever since the election last sprinp. If
has been a much -mooted question ,s
TO whether the additional councilnlen
elected in the even-numhered wards
would serve for full term of two
years. or only until the next election.
ut which time the regular common
'ouhcllmen for even numbered wards
are to be elected. 1t has been the opin-
ION OF the majority that the "addi-
tionals' would serve for full term
OF two years. but City Solicitor Watson
doesn't think so ut all.
The additional councilmen from
the even-ntllnbered wards" said he
Yesterday, were elected last spring to
I'LL a vacancy created by the entrance
OF Scranton into the second class of
cities. Their terms unquestionably cx-
pre- on April l next, and their sue
cessors must be elected in February.
because the even-n,lmbered years are
those fixed by law for the election of
common councilmen from the evcn-
numbered wards. There's no room for
doubt on the question. It's as clear
as the brightness of dawn"
LIVELY ELECTION.
II these counci1mcn are to be elected.
as the city solicitor says, the munich
pal election should be q pretty lively
one. This would make seventeen COM
mon counc!lmen to be elected. in addi-
ton to the select councilmen from tho
even-numbered wards and ten school
controllers, from the odd numbered
wards.
The seven "additionaIs" who will
have to get reelected to remain i'm
councils, If the city solicitors interpre-
tation of the law is the proper one.

BABY BORN IN FERRIS WHEEL
When the great Ferris wheel was made
ready TO resume business, after its win
ter closing, two families oftramps, COM
prisiOg eleven memb ,rs, we're living
comfortably in two OF the swinging
cars. They had been camping out thus
all winter. TIE Bobemians first select
ed the lower care, but one day engi-
neers, who had been sent to examine the
machinery, made the great wheel de-
scribe half turn. so the camping iami'
lies were hois,ed to the topmost posi-
ton. Since that time only one man, a
fJrmsr sailor, could communicate with
the earth. Climbing down nightly, he
would hustle for food to keep tie two
tribes alive. He would steal enough
charcoal to make smokeless fires. The
| provisions were hoised up by rope
o. February % a baby girl WAS born
up 10 the wheel. The wheel company
has offered the mother and infant o
good salary TO exhibit themselves
| throughout the coming season In the
car in which the child was born.

When the girl was called down stairs

the promise of the shenff that
she would be treated kindly by
all parties concerned did she consent
to 90. The meeting was most effect
log one. Before leaving for home
Bessie requested to see Noonsn
