TiIe Citizens of That Subdivision Sug. geSt the Translation of Councilman HO<sie to the Second Ward Warm Discussion Follows.

The feature of the meeting of the City Council last night wa, the reading of petition from Sl of the electors Of the Seventh ward asking that Council man Uoxsie be assigned to the Second ward and that an election be held in the Seventh, to elect councilman to represent that ward. A discussion fol- lowed, which threatened to become acrimonious. but it did not; the reSOlu- ton was read and there it rests. for the council is deadlocked on most questions these days, and motion by Geiger to table the petition indefinitely was hung in the air, and so is the petition. because of q three to three vote.
 Stevens said the iGea had come toe late to do anything, but he wanted the petition discussed anyway. He said the Seventh ward was frozen out. This | brought d retOrt from Geiger. He wanted to know how the ward was frog eu out: they had a chance to elect Palmer last spring and they didn do it. Rckard said tive-sevenths of the pop ulation was in the ''east end. while the west end" had four-seventhS of the representation on the council There wouldn't be any election in the Second ward. "We're going to contest 1t, he said. ''or at least l am." Harris said he was opposed to the method by which it was proposed to elect councilmen. but he didn't think anything would come of opposing it. Rickard asserted that you people haven't been fair, never have been fair, but 1 propose to make you fair if can.
 Hoxsie said he wasn't particularly anxious to represent any ward: there was nothing pleasant or profitable about it. The council had no disposition to give anybody anything except their just dues. An attempt had been made to introduce politics, but he failed to see where there was any politics in Il. If the councilmen who were obJectlng were as broad and liberal as they repre- | sented themselves to be they should consider the future. Harris intlmated that nine-tenths of the money expended had been spent west of Hunter Way. Hoxsie promptly denied it and said the large eXpcnditures had been made for fire purposes. Hickard declared that Hox,ie might ''pedde the bovine' to others but he couldn't peddle it to him, whereupon vote was taken on the mo- tion to table and it resulted in tie. Thus the incident closed.
 Geiger reported that there were pub | lie nuiSances in the rear of the two Jap- anese restaurants on Front Street. and the matter was referred to the health officer.
 A discussion ensued over school mat ters, Geiger stating the board had se- cured the Bridge Saloon building at sS5 per month: another building would be got in the east end of town. It was
 important to have the schools started soon as possible. The school committee was continued and so will be the cou- ferences.
