Arizona republican., 1905-01-24

elections. MT. Timmons' bill provides that submission may be made at spe- cial elections. He explained that his bill was drawn to meet a condition at Yuma The Water Users association at that place, in connection with the government reclamation project de- sires the right of way for a main canal through the municipality. Such fran chise could not be granted before April of 1906, as there will be no reg ular election before that time. The bill passed it's second and third read ings under suspension of the rules, and was finally ordered to vote, which was called for, when MT. Anderson of Yav- apai objected on the ground that he had had no opportunity to study the bill. It was brought out later that Mir. Anderson had no objection to the bill so far as the purpose of it was con- cerned, but he feared that it would make the obtaining of other franchises too easy. A motion for the postpone ment of further consideration of the bill until today was carried.
 Other bills were:
 By MT Pomeroy, to amend para graph 26O9, R. s. This relates to the compensation of county officers and  lieu of everything. The object of the measure is to remove the apparent contradiction which led to the trouble in the office of the recorder of this county

 The memorial of the New Mexico legislature against the joint statehood bill was read and applauded.
 MT. Hull introduced a memorial to congress protesting against the annex ation of that part of Arizona lying north of the Colorado river to the state of Utah.
 THE COUNCIL.
 Beyond the action of the council in the matter of the cIerkships there was little done in that branch. MT. Downs introduced a bill for the control of street railways to the extent at least of requiring that all street cars shall be provided with lenders, and it is un- derstood that unless the Phoenix street railway relaXes its grip on its passes, the bill will be further amended re- quiring that the cars shall be equipped with air brakes, Pintsch lights, diners, and such other appliances as my sug- gest themselves to the members.
 It is understood that MT. Bernard of Tucson is formulating an amendment which will make the law, in the event the bill becomes a law, of some local advantage, some protection to his con- stituents. The amendment will prob ably provide that the heels of the mo- tive power of the Tucson City Rail way-Charley Hofrs mule-shall be heavily padded.
 The Hull memorial against the an nexation of a part of Arizona to Utah was adopted unanimously. The house concurrent resolution providing for a clerk and messenger for the governor was laid before the council, and action will likely be taken on it today.
 The governor sent the following names of appointees to the council for confirmation, and that will become an order of business for today:
 Joseph H. Kibbey, to be attorney general
 I. M. Cristy, to be territorial auditor.
 B. F. Daniel, to be superintendent of the territorial prison.
