COUNCIL NOT TO

Certain Defeat for Any Candidate
Whose Friends Attempt to \
Force Immediate Vote.
DEFER ACTION UNTIL JULY
Members Apparently Not Salts
fled With Material Offered for
Water SUPPLEMENTARY

Convinced that 1t is the part of wis
dom to defer the election OF SUI
| perintendent of the Water Department
| until July, the joint session of CITY
Council will adjourn tonight, after
officially accepting the resignation or
Mr.. Charles T. Boiling, who has been
elevated to the position of CITY
Engineer.
Behind this new move is the fact that
members Of the two branches are not
thoroughly satisfied as TO the avail
ability of the three or four candidates
in the race The more important con
sideration, however, is that none of the
applicants has sufficient Number VI
votes TO elect, which would mean GER
tain defeat for the man whose friends
attempt to railroad him through by
demanding an immediate election.

cal circles last night was to the effect
that the name of one of the leading
candidates might not be presenter II III

his supporters will naturally agree to
q postponement.
None Cnn Claim Election.
In recent years there has never been
contest more uncertain than this.
Three weeks ago 1t was asserted with
a degree OF assurance, that caused the
public to wonder why, that Mr.. William
p. Marshall would be nominated on the
first ballot. Even his warmest friends
admit now that his chances are slim.
Mr.. Z. e. Davis acting superintend-
ent; Mr.. w. II. Woody. Jr., and Assist
ant City Engineer Jackson Bolton. all
candidates, cannot lay claim to the Of
flee either. The burden of political
talk yesterday and last night was that
it had developed into a race between
Davis and Woody, although there was
apparently no ground upon which the
assertion could be based.
In view of this condition and the
fact that a superintendent could be
elected to fill only the unexpired term
of Mr.. Boiling, with another battle on
his hands in July, the candidates have
about reached the conclusion that It
would be best to wait patiently until
the summer. Whether or not they are
willing to wait, it is unquestionabIy
true that members of Council are &C.
termined to take that course. and ills
plan will be followed, unless the un-
expected happens to-day. IT Is unlikely
that an agreement can be formed at
this late hour to force an election.
