CITY COUNCIL Meeting
ELECTION INSPECTORS ARE ELECT
ED FOR THE SECOND TINE.
Discovery of New Law Made Action
Necessary-Ordinanc Requiring
Safety Appliances.

At a meeting Of the City Council last
night the Republican members for the sec
ond time elected inspectors for the city
election. The same plan was pursued
formerly and the Democrats offered no
other protest besides refusing to take part
in the election. Since the time when the
Council first elected inspectors it was dis
covered that the law governing the selec-
ton Of inspectors by county commission
ers, which originally provided that the in
spectOrs should be selected at the June
sitting of the commissioners, was amended
last winter so as to provide for the selec-
ton of inspectors in September. Assistant
City Clerk Tamm insisted last night that
the Council had elected two sets of inspec-
tors, but the Republicans say this is not
true, because the first list was Illegally
elected. In the event, however, that the
first set was legally elected it can make lit
tie difference, as the inspectors elected last
night are, with but few exceptions, the in
spectors elected in June About twenty
new names have been substituted in the
last list.
Aside from the election of inspectors the
Council did very little business The ordi-
nance providing for the annexation of the
Central Insane Hospital to the city was
recommended for passage by the committee
on elections and afterwards called up and
advanced to second reading. Councilman
Evans finally introduced his ordinance re-
curing railroads to establish gates, alarms
and other safety appliances at various
street crossings. The following is a brief
synopsis of the ordinance, showing the rail-
roads affected and the safety appliances re-
