| Attorney Miller for Sterne said that
postponment of the hearing was not
necessary for they did not intend to
present any proofs to the allegations
made in this petition. 1t was intended
to present either witnesses or deposit
lions to prove the statements, but
they would not be presented and the
petition would therefore be dead let
ter in this matter and the council
could consider it only as an allegation,
unsupported by any proofs.
He could see no reason therefore
why postponement should be made.
Mr.. Craig then asked that the petit
ton be withdrawn If it was not to be
proven by witnesses. He said that he
believed they were trying to take ad
vantage Of him by getting something
in the records which would later be
proven in court He wanted his repl,
drawn or the contest postponed unit

Mr.. Sawyer read the code. He rea(

The reason he asked for this was be-
cause an amendment petition had
been filed during the afternoon and he
said that he had not been given
enough time to look it up carefully and
get ready to file a reply to it. He read
this amendment petition before the
council and as he read it, there was a
creaking sound in the room which
sounded a great deal like mayors

ed the death knell to the Office being
held by Acting Mayor OFF. The petit
ton set forth just four illegal votes
cast for him, which is enough to make
him abandon the Office.
