 Alderman Cheney vigorously opposed the Anderson amendment charaetcriztng 1t as "feolishnest."
 Alderman Gunter declared himself in favor of the Anderson amendment and was interrupted by Alderman Cheney. who. with some irritation, asked Alder man Gunter if he did not sign the report of the Committee.
 Alderman Gunter replied that he signed the report with the understanding tla ho reserved the right to disagree upon these matters. He declared that after careful investigation he had ascertained that the city could build an electric plant and furnish electric lights at a saving of from sl0,000 to s12.000 year. He fa- vored the amendment because 1t provid- ed for one. two. and three year cou. tracts.

CLAIM IS SET ASIDE
BOARD OF CoMpRoMIsE RE-
 LIEVEs MIR. CLOUR.
Aounmt Involved $176.10 for Eail-
 urs to Issue Execution for Re- moval Bills-State Does Not Lose Anything.

The State Board of Compromise yester- day set aside the claim of the State for si75.10 charged against Captain w. A. Cloud, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Macon County by John T. German, State Examiner of Public Accounts.
 Captain Cloud was in Montgomery yes terday and was given hearing by the Board of Compromise. Attorney General Brown was not present at the meeting.
 The charge of $i75.1o against Captain Cloud was because he had not issued executions for removal bills aggregating that amount. He had issued executions for costs in the same cases and they had been returned mo property found.' Therefore Captain Cloud did not issue executions for removal bills.
 After hearing the case the Board of Compromise decided that while Examiner German had properly charged the amount up to Captain Cloud the State did not lose anything by the transaction and the charge was set aside. s. .4..

 The committee recommend the edop- ton of the foregoing resolution.
 Alderman Gunter said as member of the Select Committe he signed the report, but in his judgment the city should not require a check for more than S 900 to accompany the bid. He said S200O check might keep some persons from submitting a bid.
 Alderman Cheney declared that any per- son who was not willing to put Up certified check for s2,000 was unworthy of consideration by the Council. He there fore moved the adoption of the resolu- ton submitted by the committee.
 Alderman Mcintyre offered as an amendment that the certified check be made $500 instead of S2.000. He said the Council did not desire to hinder sny per- son who desired to bid. The city. he de-

FREEZING TEMPERATURES. Thin Ice Appeared Yesterday Morn
 ing.

The temperature here yesterday morn ing as registered by the Weather Bureau thermometers -on roof of the government building, was 35 degrees: or degrees above freezing, though at the ground level 1t was about 90 degrees, as thin Ice formed at many places in the, suburbs both north and south of the city, and heavy frost was quite prevalent, thus verifying the Weather Bureaus forecast.
 This difference in temperature at the gronnd and at elevations of about 11O feet, was due to the stiffness of the air. which caused the cold. heavier air to settle down in low braces.
 While fruit trees have to a great ex- tent, begun to bud. they were not mate rially injured by the cold.
