PHOENIX COUNCIL
 PAID THE BILLS
Thas Was About all That Was Done
 Last Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the Phoenix city council was held last night and there was about as little do- ing as ever happened on any similar occasion. One hundred bills were al- lowed, amounting to S6,37373. and bills of the library board to the total of S36.55
 The reports of the recorder. marshal treasurer, and assessor and tax col lector for the quarter ending January 31 were read, as well as the monthly report of the minor officers.
 The council was notified of the re- suit of the recent election held by the fire department, and all the officers selected by that organization were confirmed.
 A resolution was passed creating the office of street commissioner at a sal ary of S100 per month and specifying his duties. Harry Hancock was then elected to fill the office. He has been serving lon probation" for some weeks already. The office takes charge of all the operating plants of the city, such as the corral, the street machinery and and public grounds-all. in fact, except the fire department, over which he ex- ercises no authority. Ire addition. the street commissioner is to have charge of buying all municipal supplies of whatever nature, by and with the con- sent of the chairman of the street and alley and public buildings and grounds committee.

become famous in this country before she took up her residence in Rome. Her appearance tonight will be hsr twenty sixth since ner return.
 Both she and MT. Russell expressed their admiration for the wonderful cli- mate of Phoenix and they regretted that they must so soon leave it.
 MT. Russell is most enthusiastic over the success of his famous pupil. whom he regards as much as pupil as when they were in Rome. In his tours of the country for years MT. Russell has been constantly listening for voices which some day may resound through out the earth. He has found many, but after all very few in comparison with the great number he has heard. In all lis search he has discovered in Amer ica only one male voice which he be- lieves is destined to attain success in grand opera. and that discovery was made yesterday, when he heard M- Earl Cochems, ct the Arizona School of Music. But he said hat many of the finest female voices in the world rave been found on this side If tha Atlantic.
 While at Kansas City. Mr Russell examined 365 voices ahC found only three which gave the slightest promise of future greatness. In Los Angeles he discovered none in an examination of more than 120. His judgment caused much heart burning and brought him into conflict with the Musical Union of Los Angeles, an organization band ed together for mutual protection.
 After hearing an applicant who has been told by her teachers that she is a prodigy and destined for grand opera, he asks her why she came to see him. and a conversation something like the following ensues: T desired to ascer- tain if I could hope to get into grand opera" "Why did you thinK you could; who told you you could?' It IS thus brought out that the teae 1ec has said so, whereupOn it }evolvcs upoE Nir. Russell to set her right by telling her that she is reaching out after the unattainable. MT. Russell holds ;n the l;l eatest contempt those te hers who for d few paltry dollars permit a Ipil to entertain a hope which can only end in the bittarest disappointment after great waste of money.
 MT. Russell learned yesterday that a family of Italian peasants Heed near Phoenix and he asked if they would likely be at the Doris tonight. He was told that they would not. likely be there; that they were too poor. He then requested Manager Berger to ar range for their admission and Cor the aGmission c. any other Italians WHO coulu not afford to buy tickets.
 In this connection he said that it was q curious circumstance that almost without exception all the great Italian voices had been recruI- d from the pcasantry.

 The question was in5orrnallys raised as to the right to hold an election within two years of another for the same purpose. but that was disposed of on the theory that none had been held within the district proposed. A part of the district proposed to be put with in the local option district was includ- ed in an earlier local-Option district, but on a contest it was shown that the proceedings creating that district were invalid for the reason that the district was bounded by arbitrary lines and not by any lines established off cially like those of justices precincts, school districts. etc
 It was thought. too, by the oppOsi- ton that a careful scrutiny of the pe- tition which had been signed by the fifty-tnree voters of the precinct would show that several of them were not qualified voters. reducing the num- Der of signatures below the fifty re- quired for Q petition for a Iocal-Option election.
 It was shown though. that this would cut no figure. for while fifty names on a petition would compel the supervisors to order an election, the election might be ordered by the board at its own discretion on a petition signed by a lesser number.
