In five minutes time last evening
the ordinance declaring the nortn
half of the Third Ward and the en-
tire Fifth Ward, resident portions OF
the city was reported, condemned te
death and executed.
This ordinance was introduced at
the last session of council at which
time it was given its first and second
readings. The measure was defeated
by vote Of 10 to 5.
Before the ordinance was voted
down Councilman Bayer, so that his
remarks could not be misunderstood
read carefully prepared paper set
ting forth his reasons for not sup
porting the measure, the sum and
substance of which was that at the
last Republican primaries the, resi-
dents Of these parts of the city ef-
fected by the ordinance, had shown
that they were not in favor of max
ing the north half of the Third and
the Fifth Wards resident portions of
the city, by their failure to support
Attorney Jessup for prosecutor, who
is regarded as an anti-saloon man.
Councilman Peck then introduced
an ordinance declaring that part of
the Fifth Ward south of the Penn
sylvania tracks a resident portion of
the city. This ordinance is as fol
lows:
