Taxpayers Ticket Wins.

Although there were three hold overs
the entire Taxpayers ticket was elected
Tuesday. which gives them majority
OF one on joint ballot.
r. A. johnson had majority OF 81
over W. J. Gaunt for mayor. w. II.
Mathere and L. c. McGrew polled the
highest vote. receiving 267 votes each.
w. r. Travis had only 6 votes more
than w. S. Girardst, who received the
highest vote on the Business Mems
ticket. The rest OF the Taxpayers
ticket won by vote ranging from p to
40 votes.
The friends OF the winning ticket
were celebrating until late hour Tues
day night, but as it was well earned
victory they had a jubilee coming.
There is very little feeling over the
result, considering the contest that
both tickets put up and it is now certain
that Delta will have couple OF well
regulated saloons. The winning ticket
has also promised to secure better water
for the city. This is what Delta needs
just at present more than all things
else.
The city officers are as follows: r. d.
Blair. W. B. Stockham. W. G. Cook.
hold-overs; Mayor. R. A. johnson; alder
men. S. B. Houts. W. r. Travis and L.
c. McGrew; james Beckley, clerk; Will
Mathers, treasurer. They are all repre-
sentative business men and will give the
city a good administration.

Eiremens ENemption.

The Supreme Coml Of tins State has
recently decided that AN act entitled
a further supplement to IN act entitled
"An act concerning taxes approved
April 18th, 1870" IS unconstitutional
and void, insofar as it provides that the
real and personal property Of all per
sons enrolled as active members Of any
fire company etc, shall be exempt
from taxation to the amount Of $500.
The reasons given for the decision
would seem to indicate that the cXcmp-
ton Of Soldiers and National Guards
men was also unconstitutional. This
will mean a great deal to many persons
in this city, and it viii make quite a
material increase in the amount Of tax
collected next September
