HE FIFTH MEMBER
 ELECTED YESTERDAY
Last Session Of the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the APProPri- ators' Canal Company.

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Appropriators' Canal company. which has been in progress for the last two weeks, was brought to close yesterday by a forenoon ses- sion of a couple of hours. which ended quite harmoniously. There was a slight clash over the proper time for the consideration of a further report of the committee on resolutions. but it arose more through personal opinion of the proper order of business than over any principle or issue. It ! was finally decided to proceed with the election and dispose of that before mixing the meeting up over any other 1 business.
 ! President Fowler was in the chair.
 and the business was conducted with
 out unpleasant reference by either side l to the result of Saturdays contest, when four directors. 1Iessrs, Charles | Goldman. Hosea Greenhaw, Jr., A. NJ 1 Frederick and W. W. Cook were chosen i directors on issues in opposition to the | policy of the present management ] There had been a spirit Of harmony ] at work ever since the last meeting. | The victors we're firm. but not dis ! posed to create any further irritation. f asking only that they be given the | ] be unhampered in the future manage
 ment. The present management. rec ! ognizing it's defeat made no effort to l Obstruct the plans of the successful | faction.
 There were in reality three factions. |. one known as the Fowler interest. an |! other as the Wilky interest and the j third was composed of stockholders | who were not active on either side, but
 anxious to favor whichever side II seemed for the best interest of the \ company. By yesterdays proceeding there seems to be a quite notable har- | monizing Of all interests.
 II When the time came for voting on | the fifth director it was announced | that all the gentlemen placed before the meeting on Saturday. but receiv- 1 ing only a minority vote. were still candidates for the office. As a result of the caucusing that had been going on and the general agreement by all 1 parties, the names of all candidates were withdrawn except that of J. P Ivy. who was the only defeated candi- date of the anti Fowler people. MT 1 Ivy was then elected by exclamation. Subsequently, the report of the reso- ] lutons committee was taken up and adopted. Attention was called to the publication of resolutions previously made that did not clearly set forth the fact that the original resolutions pro- Vided that not only should the gan Jeros, but the superintendent. be per sons who were not water users and had no personal interest in the distri- button Of water This arrangement was perfectly satisfactory to MT Wilky, who is the present superinten- dent
 Other resolutions were one raising the price of any stock that may be hereafter sold from S1.50. the original price. to g per share or per acre
 which is the same thing. The carry ing price Of water for the season 1906-7 was also placed at S1-5O. and
 the matter of salaries was left to the
 board of directors.
 The new board now has before it the
 work Of appointing a superintendent and zanjeros. and the more embarrass-
 ing task of arranging at an early day
 some plan for settling the heavy in- idebtedness of the company. Some sue cess in this line is hoped for through
 a more economical administration. ana
 the wits of the new board will be di- rected toward evolving other plans ot
 salvation also The new board has the advantage now of a practically har-
 monioUs following. The WiIky an,
 Fowler factions have been wiped of
 the slate. as factions and the indica
 tions are that all will unite in helpini
 the new board to carry out any wis, policy that may be suggested
