DIR. JAY RESIGNS
Third Ward Member Of City Council
Tenders Resignation to the Council
HAS Moved Into the Second Ward
Mo Successor Likely.

Because he is no longer to be a
resident of the Third ward, which he
has been representing in the city coun-
ell, DR.. E. w. Jay, who has recently
moved into the Second ward, last night
presented his resignation. 1t was not
acted upon, and as there will be but a
few meetings OF the city council before
the city election early in the spring,
it is likely that a successor will not be
appointed by the council.
In retiring from the council DR.. Jay
extended his thanks to the mayor and
members of the council for their kind
nesses and courtesies to him during his
tenure Of office.
