BOW TO DECISION
Recognize President John 7.
Game, Jr., and Transact
Much Business.
Especial to The Herald Republican. }

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Logan, April 24.-The Logan city
council met last night and for the first
time this year the business was trans
acted without trouble. The Republican
members of the body decided to bow
to the decision of the district court
president of the council. but at the
same time they feel that they have
been deprived OF one of their rights as
American citizens-that of having a
voice in the selection of the man to
preside over their deliberations The
court having decided that Mr.. Game
has a legal right to the office, they
cheerfully acquiesced in the decision
and accepted the situation without pro-
test
They did protest against Mr.. Caine
appointing the committees of the coun-
Gil, as a special committee on rules had
brought in a report recommending that
rule and rule 16 be abolished. The
former provides that the president of
the council shall appoint its commit
tees, and rule 16 requires that all ap-
pointments of the mayor shall be sub
mitted TO the proper committees be-
fore being confirmed. When the COM
mittee made its report, Mr.. caine
jumped into the breach by announcing
that he Rad already made the appoint
ments and that lists for each council
man had been prepared. He insisted
that he had a right to appoint the com
mittees, and when Mr.. Stevens appealed
from his decision, the usual tie vote
resulted. Then the council settled
down to business, and before adjourn
ing, completed "a lot of work that had
been awaiting the agreement of its
members.
The resignation of Charles F. Marti-
neau as city watermaster was present
ed and accepted, Mayor Anderson nam
ing in his place Nieis Carlson. AS Niels
Carlson retired from the council on
January 1 of this year, and is, there
fore, disqualified from holding any Of
flee under the city for one year, the
appointment was sent back to the
mayor for further consideration. The
appointments of Moses Olsen as sexton
and Lyman Smith as night firegroom
were confirmed without opposition, as
was the appointment OF Attorney j. T.
Walters as deputy city attorney. MT.
Walters will act as attorney for the
city during the absence of Attorney Ne
becker, who is away on his honeymoon.
The new pool and billiard hall ordin-
ance was made a special order for the
next meeting of the council.
The council ordered the attorney TO
notify the street railway people to re-
move at once from the streets the dirt
left there after the excavation for the
roedbed, so as to prepare for the city's
annual cleanup.
The Logan City park was leased TO
C. c. Cressall for one year for sloy.5O.
