OF Phone Troubles to he Made
by City Solicitor.
The Council Meets in Regular Ses-
sion Tonight At .:3O At the
City Hall. >
MATTERS WHICH ARE TO COME

City Solicitor James Campbell, Jr.r
Will advise the city again. at the
council meeting, tonight, to make
another effort TO compromise the diff
ferences with the East Tennessee
Telephone Co.
81 think it is advisable to make
compromise, said the solicitor to-
day, "and | shall so tell the council.
If we do not, the case will probably
run along for some time, and cost
the city a great deal more in the
meantime than it will sacrifice by a
compromise. shall point out several
excellent reasons to the board to-
night, but shall, of course be govern
ed by their action"
The city solicitor says the case will
be hard fight, and he frankly ad
vises the city that It will be making
good bargain to compromise the
matter now, if it can be done on any
thing like reasonable terms.
The council will have busy ses-
sion. There are a number of new
ordinances to be brought in-some
from the board of health and others
for street Improvements.
The board of health will present a
resolution which will give that body
the power to contract for the dispos-
al of the garbage by contract for the
next four months. The board hoped
to get an ordinance through provid-
ing for this by tax, but, as all tax
measures must be passed at the time
the tax levy is made, it could not be
done.
The park commissioners will pre-
sent a resolution to the council ask
ing that 1t purchase a hundred feet
from Mrs. T. II. Puryear for the ex-
tension of that thoroughfare from
Kentucky avenue to Broadway.

HEAVY VOTE CAST.
Parliamentary Elections in France
Show but Few Changes.

Paris, May THE results thus
far announced in the general parlia-
mentary elections which were held
Sunday show few changes in the
chamber, most of the former depu-
ties being reelected, but an extra
ordinary number of second ballots
will be necessary in Paris. The pres
ent ballot gives the opposition a
majority but this second ballot
which will be taken May 20, Is ex-
pected to repudiate the results. OF
the N1902 election when representa-
tlves were equally divided. Never
theless the government has gained
one seat. II is estimated that there
was a record poll of votes. Owing tc
the excitement caused by the recent
strike and disorders oecasloned By
the inventories of church property the
polling booths were guarded by the
military and police, but the day pass
ed without incident and intervention
by the authorities was unnecessary.
