EAST LAKE STIRS
 UP SOME POLITICS
CITY WILL IN FUTURE HAVE FIVE WARDS, WITH ONE ALDERMAN FROM EAcH-cITIzENs, CLUB IS ORGANIZED.

The political situation in East Lake Is warming up. Tn the shape of the municipal code, the legislature of Ala bama has in several particulars changed the usual aspect of politics there. In the first place the city is now Empowered to make street. sidewalk and sewerage improvements and assess the same against the abutting property owners. In the second place the city being under 5000 in population. must redistrict its wards, making five wards instead of four as at present, and cut ting the representation to one alderman from each ward instead of two. which has prevailed under the old charter Preparatory to the municipal election which will be held in September the Citizens club has been organized with a membership of 231. This, the central cub. is composed of five ward clubs. The ward clubs have all convened anu nominted aldermen for the next ter, and general mass meeting is called next Tuesday evening" August 4 at Hunts hall for the purpose of ratifying the aldermanic selection and also 10 select mayor to head the ticket. The club ticket is as follows: S. R. HaWle,. First ward J. w. Beasley. second ward |, Dr. J. H. Finch, Third ward: l., | Cox. Fourth ward; D. E. McLendon. Fifth ward. The ward clubs are all wof<inv in unison and as the officers to be elected in September will be voted on by the town at large, the purpose o, the club is to support the entire ticket. So far there appears to be no opposl. tion to the ticket and it is very doubt ful wh ether any of the present conn X ell will offer for reelection. There .s however, some difference of opinion re- garding the candidacy of mayor and the people in mass assembled nurnosp to decide this question At Hunts hall next Tuesday evening.
