A PRINTING BILL
 MAY HAVE EFFECT
On the Time of the special Third
 Ward Election.

Last nights meeting of the city
 council was very important one both for the volume of business before .t
 and the nature of the business. The most sensational incident was the pre-
 prise of bill for S4O6. for
 publishing the primary election call. The Republican submitted sl
 bill of $54.37 for the same work Pre-
 vious to the converting. of the council.
 while the matter was under discussion
 the editor of the Enterprise had as serted that the bin would be paid or
 he would sue the city. The bill was rejected. whereupon he started to
 withdraw from the room when Coun- cilman kersting asked him if he would compromise on a hundred dollars He replied in the negative and left the room. The financial feature of the in . cident is but a part of its full bearing on the present punched up election situation It has been hinted that the republican council did not intend to call a special election to fill the vacancy in the Third ward lest the election might result in a democratic majority otherwise the result might be a tie vote in the council which would be DSIltI litdll q iillltOI1lg NOlEs lpI ltlC republicans. In order to remove any such impression the cou1ci had de cided last night to call a special elec- ton for the Third ward to be held at the earliest legal date, and later tho ordinance prepared was read and tabl- ed as a result of the Enterprise bill. The law makes the publication of cleo ton notices in both party papers i'm peratiVe. The council reasoned that if the Enterprise sues and recOVers the full amount. il would likewise collect the same for the next election call, which would make elections rather eX- pensive. Whatever the result of a law suit it would take time before a deci- sion could be rendered so that the council could know where it stood. The council therefore decided that it had better wait d day or two and perhaps until a new council is sworn in, be- fore printing any more four hundred dollar advertisements. It was suggest ed by members of the council that there had been a method in the course of the afternoon paper when it urged the nasty calling of more elecT tions.
 Another item of general interest in last nights proceedings, was the read ing of a letter from R. A. Franks, NJ. Carnegie's representative, in answer to a letter from the city recorder of March Sth. Mr. Franks writes that the plans submitted for the Carnegie library are satisfactory if they can be eX- ecuted for the amount of money at the of the city. He says that Mr, Carnegie's grant of S25,0O0 is available at any time the city is ready to pro ceed with construction work and will be forwarded in instalments of S5,OO9 each The rest of the letter refers to the procedure for securing the money.
 The council at once authorized the recorder to advertise for bids, on plans to be furnished by Willard & CreiSh- ton embracing the changes made. the bids to be received on or before April 2Sth.
 The recorder was instructed to mo- tifv Todd & Co of the coming election and request that if any ordinances ale necessary for the perfection of the bond sale, to have them on
