torney had advised him, and also
three other lawyers, that the new Of
ficers should be inaugurated the iirnt
regular meeting after the election.
The mayor still insisted that the law
was not correctly construed, and the
city attorney came back with the re-
tort that the law provided that the
new oificials should be installed the
first regular meeting after the eIec-
ton, and that It did not mean a meet
ing in the future but the first meet
ing. DR.. McEuen moved that an nd
journment be taken until Monday ev-
ening but the motion was host by a
vote OF 8 to 2. Those present had
become interested in the controversy.
and when the result was announced
there was q liberal round OF applause,
but the mayor advised them that any
cheering or applause was not In or
der.
Mayor Makes Appointments.
The Inauguration Of the new Of
iicials was then taken up, and after
each had taken his oath from Clerk
Morgan, and took up his position IN
the council chamber he was loudly
applauded. A. soon an all OF them
had been inaugurated Mayor Hamfi-
ton called the council to order ana

The first appointment 70 be made
was city attorney. and Mayor HAmli-
ton nominated r.. u. Mcfarland for

CONFIRM him. the vote being two for
him and six against. The mayor then
announced that the appointment
would go over until the next meeting.
The chief OF police was the next 10 be
appointed. Patrick McGovern was
nominated. and received all che votes
OF the council save one. The nomin-
alton OF patrolmen was next taken
up and Geo. Evans was made day Of

SCHOOL BOARD
DISCUSSES BONDS
Believes They Should be Issued but
Fears Result of Election

The school board held meeting
last evening at the Winn-B Barr Chain
ey ey store-at beast there was where
that body was found by a representa-
tive of the Press after an extensive
search. The board is presumed to
meet at the high school, but whether
it does or not seems to be dependent
upon the convenience of the mem
bers, and in the past it has not only
been a hard task to keep track of the
meetings of the board. but equally
as hard task to find the board after
it is known that a meeting is to be
held. The meeting was held last
night at the store for the convenience
Of deputy clerk Andrews, so it was
said; as he lived in the country; the
board did not have the keys, and it
did not desire to inconvenience him.
Increase Exhibit.
The first matter considered by the
board was a request by the state sup
erintendent for an increase of the ex-
hibit of the schools for the Alaska
Yukon exposition at Seattle. Twenty
five dollars had been donated for the
purpose, and of this amount SIG had
been spent and 1t was voted last ev-
ening to increase this amount to a
sum not to exceed $35. This exhibit
will be on display in the hall of the
high school today and tomorrow.
Bond Election Discussed.
The proposed bond issue for the
construction of $4,000 high school
building which will be voted on Sat
urday by the people was then taken
up and discussed. Trustee VIM
stated that the proposition did not
seem to be favored by the people, and
this brought back the retort from
Trustee Branson that the only reason
that it was not favored was because
the Press had stated in an editoria
that the bonds when sold would beal
6 per cent interest when the interest
would not exceed that amount anC
that they could be disposed of at {
cheaper rate at about Az per cent
In further discussing the editoria
by the Press on the subject Trustet
BransOn too occasion to air number
of fancied grievances agains'
the paper, among o h ers tbs
one in which the Press haC
commented on the purchase of stoves
from the firm of Branson & Max, anC
maintained that Trustee White wa
then the only one of the present mem
bers on the board He stated that thu
impression seemed to have gon'
abroad that the board wanted tn
$4,000 building, but that the boar
could get along without it-and tina
it was for the people to say whethe
they desired a modern high schoo
building or not. He expressed 1t a
his opinion that sentiment genetall
was against it-that the board woul
not thrust the matter on the peopl
that to hold an election would b
but to entail expense as it would nc
carry, and moved that the election b
declared of and notices be withdraw
and a second was made by Truste
Treff. President White stated tina
