C0ntesting for Stewardship.

The poor directors are in session at

vacancy at the almshouse caused by the
resignation of Steward Wells. The con-
test has narrowed down to Bittner, OF
Weatherly, and Jacobs, of Hazleton,
and the politicians are claiming that the
later will be elected, basing their predic-
tions on the fact that Jacobs is a Repub-
lican and Bittner a Democrat. The

Mr. Hamilton protested that his side
OF the chamber did not recognize Mr..
Conin as City Solicitor. Mr.. Conif APP
peared and was acquainted with the
situation.
Mr.. Comm said the legality of the
election of any officer could not be
tested by refusing to pass upon their
bonds. The courts would require the
acceptance of the bond before passing
upon the question Of title. He held
that the duties Of the First Branch I'M
der the law are merely ~perfunctory, as
covered by the ordinances. The law does
not require any action by tine First
Branch of Council upon the bond of any
officer. 1t is anomalous to say that
after the Second Branch has accepted
the bonds and sworn in the officers the
First Branch can block the matter. II
the Mayor decided the motion to take
adverse action upon the bonds was out
of order. he acted strictly within the
law.
When Nj. Ccniff concluded no further
action was taken on the bond matter
and the First Branch proceeded to the
consideration of regular business.

Taken by Surprise.
The First Branch was called to order
by Mayor A. =. Sweeney. The roll call
showed every member present except
| DR.. MegraiI. The minutes of the prev
ious meeting were approved without
correction. The members occupied their
seats while awaiting business from the
Second Branch, and it was after nine
o'clock when the bonds of newly elect
| eG officers came over from the Second
Branch.
Clerk Worls first read the bonds of
the members of the Water Board. After
finishing he took up the other bonds.
Mr.. Hamilton inquired what the
mode of procedure was to be.
I'VE will read all the bonds" said
the Mayor.
When the reading was concluded, Mr..
| Hamilton moved to divide the bonds
| and consider them separately. The
chair ruled the motion out of order.
Mr.. Hamilton explained he would like
to vote to approve the bond of the
Mayor.
Il appeal from the decision Of the
chair" said Mr.. Hamilton.
Il cannot entertain the appeal" said
the Mayor.
Mr.. Warehouse said the ordinance
provides that the bonds be brought to
the First Branch and filed. He thought
Mr.. Hamilton would withdraw his mo-
ton when he heard the ordinance read.
Lets have the ordinance" said Mr..
Hamilton.
Mr.. Warehouse then read the fol-
lowing from page rs. section SO, as fol-
lows:

whenever any bond shall be given by any
officer of the city, and accepted by the
Second Branch of Council. to make at

to accept any bond, since they were
regularly taken, and the officers were
not properly elected.

Mr.. Hamilton arose in his seat and

to sustain the chair.

The board of fire commissioners at it's
meeting last night passed the resolution
requiring all f1remen to be numbered
This action was taken by the board for
the purpose of making the Identification
OF firemen easy, SO that they could be
reported for good or bad deeds to the
board by their number. The number
will be on badge in the shape of NAL
tese cross about an inch square, and the
numbers will be large enough to be easily
distinguished.
The members also discussed requests to
make to the charter commission when it
meets, and it was left to the president
and secretary of the board to draw up a
petition enumerating the changes want
ed. The board will hold a special meet
ing next Monday evening, at which the
petition will be presented for the appro-
val of the board. The main change to
be asked is the elimination of the pro-
vision which stipulates a fixed annual
expenditure. The removal of this handi-
cap will permit incorporation in the bud

carry the department through. and at the
same time allow for future growth This
