MUNICIPAL BILL
WAS CONSIDERED

There was a sparsely attended
meeting in the Senate chamber last
night to consider the new municipal
bill. The meeting was to have been
public but Attorney Warren, C. II.
Dickey and w. c. Achi were the only
persons present outside OF the com
mittee.
There were few unimportant
changes suggested in the text and the
Office OF superintendent of streets was
made appointive by the Mayor. with
the approval OF the supervisors. Two
years residence, instead OF one. was
made a qualification for the election
OF official and supervisors. This was
a compromise. as Mr.. Dickey was will
ling to have 1t more In order to keep
out carpetbaggers
The bill is the one made by Charley
Achi and quoted in this paper at
length some weeks ago.
There was something OF a wTangle
on salary of the Mayor. Senator Zane
wanted II $4,000 as In the bill. Senator
Smith said $4,000 and Mr.. Dickey said
$4,000. Lane won out. The other saIa-
ries were cut as follows: Superlntend-

laborers, apt and intelligent, ambi-

largely in favor of the Chinese as
furnishing the labor best adapted for

more efficient and content. There is
practically no American labor on the

Therefore, why not let them come

In examining the Jurors for cause
among the questions asked were
whether the juror had prejudice

whether he would be Influenced by
the fact that the defendant was
charged with trying to burn ship

Only one of the first twelve men
