THE influx of strangers here connected
with the Naval Academy and other inn
provements in the city has caused a
great demand for houses. II is said An
napols is short of about $50 houses to
accommodate the strangers who intend
to reside here. Houses of about six OF
eight rooms are in great demand, and
houses near the Naval Academy.
The newly arrived band. for the Santee,
many of whom have families, have tried
in vain to SECURE houses in the city and
at Eastpor. People with means to invest
in real estate have splendid opportunity
to find tenants for houses at any time.
1t is thought probable that band will
later be added to the marine barracks
when there will be a greater demand fol-
houses.

THE CITY COUNCIL DEADLOCK.

Last night was the regular monthly
meeting Of the Mayor and City Council.
but owing to the four Democratic mem
bers absenting themselves from the meet
ing, there was no quorum and no busi-
ness could be transacted, Notwithstanding
much was to be done that should have
been done. For two months or more the
wheels Of the city government have been
"chocked" in the meantime the affairs
Of the city have been suffering. The
city is without a collector and treasurer
and for that reason no taxes can be paid
and no moneys collected. The city gov
eminent is being conducted on the GER
tihcate plan and every employer and
officer must get his certificate discounted.
Many bills are awaiting payments but
cannot be paid for lack of collector and
treasurer. The hands of the mayor are
financially tied as he is completely power
less. How long this state of affairs is to
continue remains for the courts to de-
eide. In the meantime the taxpayers
must foot the bill.
