MAYOR APPROVES ORDINANCE.
And City Council win Elect an Assistan
City Solicitor Tonight.

And city Council win Elect an Assistant
City Solicitor Tonight.
The ordinance providing for the ap-
pointment OF the assistant city solicitor
by City Council instead Of by the so,
licitor, which vas passed by Council
last Thursday night, has been approved
by Mayor. Fahey, aud at the meet,
ing OF Council tonight, provided
the Democrats are able to apres upon
n candidate byithat time, an election
will take place under the new ordi-
nance. The prediction has bean made
that Samuel s. Adams, who was
formerly clerk OF the City Court, will
be appointed. In fact, II Is not known
that there arc any other candidates, at
present, and, IL such is tho ease, there
is 10 likelihood or Counoil's getting
into deadlock over the matter unless
an effort is made on tho part OF some Of
the Democrats to include the filling of
some other office at the same time.
This Ia not lisely. tonight's meeting
will be the last Of the present Council.
Solicitor elect Reinhardt will iiisist
upon his right to make the appoint
mont and will name Philip l., Garrett
The city will therefore, in all proba-
bility, have TWO assistant city solicitors
until tho courts .decide which man is
entitled to the place. Both men will
most likely report for duty at the City
Court next Monday morning. Mr..
Garrett will probably be recognized by
Judge Ghurchman, and when payday
arrives Council will recognize only the
man that body has appointed, md II
may be up to Mr.. Garrett to sue for his
salary, which will result in d judicial
opinion on the subject.
