While cooler weather has temporarily de-
TERED retail sales Of lightweight fabrics,
and perhaps has severely affected fruits
and early vegetables, events Of the week
have Improved the great basic conditions.

gathered in the council chamber in NUM-
Der of years-assembled Standing room
was in demand down stairs and the bal
cony was used for the first time in recent
memory.
Temper of Crowd Apparent.
The crowd was out as a physical DEM
onstration of public temper on the sub
iect. 1t gave Mayor-elect Dahlman two
enthusiastic ovations when he came in and
applauded loudly when the city clerk an
nounced he had the certificates ready for
delivery in his office. No other opportuni-
ties were given for the expenditure Of
noise or energy, nor any cause.
Councilman Schroeder led the public break
from his four associates, who for three
years have constituted the council major
ity. Mr.. Schroeder came over to the report
ers before the meeting was called to order
and said:
III there is any chance OF my holding
over May q l will send in my resignation.
/ am through with it. Now that | have
broken away think others will follow and
there need be no fear of contest. 1 am
willing to submit to the will of the peo-
pie"
Councilman Dyball followed. Shortly aft
erward he told a Bee reporter that no one
to hold over from him. Later Councilman
Huntington, Beck and Comstock said that
so far as they were concerned there would
be nothing doing.
What use is there TO make fight when
you can't get any support" was the reply
made by Councilman Evans to a question
as to his intentions.
Council Ends Its Task.
When Mayor Zimman rapped for order
Comstock, Evans and Huntington were alb
sent. Hoye is out OF the city. Suspect
ing the worst, call of the house was or
dered on the motion OF O'Brien, but Clerk
Elbourn did not have time TO hand the
notices to a policeman before he saw Hunt
ington and Evans coming into the rotunda-
Comstock followed soon afterwards. The
call of the house was raised on the motion
OF Schroeder. seconded by Dyball. The
canvassing was finished without delay and
the report Of the clerk, A. c. Powers, and
j. ]. Mahoney who did the clerical work,
was approved on the motion of Comstock.
Then President Humans report schedul-
Ing the winners was read and adjournment
taken. This was followed by hand-shsk-
ing leyee by the oficers-elect.
