of the Green Street Methodist cnufc"
have voted to retain the present pas
tor. Rev, H. E. Dunnack, for another
wear. making the fourth consecutive
wear that he has served the Interests
Of this church. Mr.. Dunnack's pastor
ate has proved very efficient and sue
cessful one and substantial progress
is believed to have been made IN all
departments of the church. through
ont his pastorate he has had the CO.
operation of his parishiOners ana the
decision to retain him the fourth year
was a popular one. The present condi-
tion of the church is excellent in all &c
partments. During the past year tne
sunday school has been graded ana.
while it has not reached the state Vi
perfection that is expected, there mas
heen an increased attendance ana oL4-
usual interest manifested and the out
look in this department is very prlsh''
Tho Ladies' Aid Society has materially
belped the financial affairs OF th@
church and the result of the work ac-
complished by the society is that, TO-
dav they have over $500 saved up as
an organ fund. So it may be SAID tha
tho church has gained in strength uh-
dor the pastorate of Mr.. Dunnack ara
one of the appreciations of his services
shown is a vote, during the past year,
tn increase his salary 500.

THE COUNCIL AND THE CANALS.

Tonight the City Council is to take
into consideration another veto by the
Mayor II is that objectlng to the
measure passed by the council to Join
with three OF the canal conn lIes In
this county, TO secure additional water
for the use Of the city and OF the farm
ers who depend upon those canals for
irrigation. The chief point Of difference
between the Mayor and the Council ap-
pears to be as to the legality of the ar
rangement.
The City Attorney has given his opin-
Ion on the subject the fallacy OF which
has been pointed out In these columns.
II does not take learned lawyer to
see that the clause in the state Con.
stitution cited by the attorney as
barrier to the proposed contract. has
not the slightest bearing or shadow OF
relevancy on the proposition IN view.
The Mayor, however, stands by the at
torney's opinion, and It remains now
for the City Council 10 maintain IT'S
own position and It's own authority.
The idea that either the Mayor or the
council Is IN duty bound to act on the
ipe dlxlt OF the City Attorney, does not
recommend itself TO anyone acquainted
with the powers conferred by law upon
the different city officials There Is
nothing in the statutes that require any |
such an absurdlty. a silly opinion. one
that Is incorrect on It's face, acquires |
no new force and commands no new
respect because II is given by public
officer. II anything II appears In o
worse light coming from such a source.
II there Is nothing else in the way OF
the passage of the measure than the II.
logical argument on which the Mayor
depended for his veto there should not
be the slightest hesitation on the part
of the City Council, in exercising its
prerogative and passing Il over that
objection.
