CITY COUNCIL HARRASsED
By Ghost of an Ancient Franchise and
 Text of Modern Law.

The city council met last night in regular monthly session, the mayor and all the courcilmen being present except Councilman Sanders, who has not ven- tured out nights since his recent illness Routine business occupied the greater part of the evening. The monthly bills were audited and 1O5 of them ordered paid, three or four being held for further investiga tion. The appointive officers of the city all reported cond!- tions in their various departments.
 The first piece of new business pre- sented was little speech by the mayor in which he said that Q law passed by the last legislature made it incumbent upon him to appoint as soon as possible after the first of February, a city health officer to serve for two years, the ap- pointee to be confirmed by the council. The same law creates a city board ot health composed of the city health off, cer, the city engineer and two members of the council. The mayor then named Councilmen Messinger and Shott as members of the board of health and Dr. William Duffield as city health officer. A motion was made confirming the ap- pointment of Dr. Duffield. The vote was ayes, Messinger and and MT. Mayor nays-Shott and Dunlap.
 And there ye are.' as Dooley would say. The law says "the mayor shall appoint and the council confirm MT. Messinger held that under the technica> reading of the law the council had to confirm whether it wanted to or not,

| three-page write-up of the city for $2OO. The book is to have circulation of at least 10000 and it's purpose is to secure statehood for Arizona. The pro- position at the request of the gentlemen making it was laid on the table till the next meeting
 The applications of George McClarty and H. J. Jennings for appointment as special policemen were laid on the table.
 The citizens of Bennett addition pc utioned for the establishing of an ofil-
 cial grade for sidewalks in that addl- tion, and the matter was referred to the street and alley committee
 letter was received from the Cana
 nea company inquiring if the city had secondhand hose cart to sell. The chleI of the fire department reported that he had one of the hand carts that IS net now in use, but no one seemed to know its value. and the matter was turned i over to the mayor with power to act. | A resolution was passed appointing eight deputy registering officers for the i city election which occurs May 5th. There is one republican and one demo- cTat for each ward and the deputies are to receive the customary ten cents per name. F. s. Russell was also appointe't an office assistant for the city recorder for purposes of registration. The ward registrars appointed are: Republicans, Harry Troops, J. T. Moore, H. s. Atkih, Charles Miranda; democrats, C. E. c. Fike, Y. SonoQui, R. H. Drane. S. P. Hoefer. Arrangements were made fof preparing the booths for the water bonds election. The city health officer reported on the condition of the ditch cn the east side of Center and the north side of Washington streets. Ac- tion had been delayed pending the pas sage of bill by the recent legislature providing a course of action in such matters. There are two plans. One is on the petition of property owners to the city to construct a proper ditch or sewer at their expense, and the other is after their refusal to petition, the city can do the work and charge it to the abutting property. But in order to proceed very far q copy of the law
 would be required. A certified copy costs money and the session laws win not be published yet for a month. The matter was left with the street and
 
 that it would work with the property
 owners toward the desired end and as 1 rapidly as possible.
 | The last matter considered by the
 council would be amusing if it were not
 so serious. Some months ago it became very evident that something would have | to be done in the way of numbering the houses, as most of them outside O!
 the main streets are without numbers,
 and the butcher. the baker, the post
 man and half the renters don't know
 when they reach the right gates. There
 was tradition among the old settlers
 who lived here when the houses were ! first numbered as q matter of metro
 politan airs rather than necessity, that J. D. Reed, former resident, had some
 sort of a cinch on the house-numberin2 l industry. A search revealed an ordin-
 arce that gave him a franchise for
 that business. The council learned next
 that NJr Reed was galivanting up and

SENATORIAL CHAIR VACANT
LaFIamboy Talks of Moving Away
Ionia County Man should
Have the Place.

"The announcement is made," says
the Ionia Sentinel, "that Senator La
Flamboy is about to change his resi-
dence and remove to another district.
There will, therefore, be a vacancy
in the Office of senator from this dis
trict (the eighteenth). The position
belongs to Ionia county and all that
will be necessary to secure the nomi-
nation for an Ionia county man is
harmony in agreeing upon candi-
date. There ought to be little diff
Guilty in doing this" The Ionia city
delegates to the convention held in
Beldlng last August, those of them
who made it possible for LaFlamboy's
nomina ton, by opposing Major f. r
Chase of Smyrna have long since
seen their mistake, and repented
their action.
