Contract Let for New City Stable-Other Routine
 Matters

As the result of the action of the city council last night in rejecting the nom nation petition of J. w. Harrington as candidate for election as city supervisor of streets, it is probable that test ease will be made of the matter in the dis trict court, to determine whether or not Mir. Harrington s name should be placed on the primary ballot.
 When Mir. Harrington 's name came up before the council at a special meet ing last Monday, Mir. Harrington s pe- tition was held to be invalid. At the request of Attorney l.. L.' Henry, how ever, the matter was laid over until last night, in order to allow the matter to be investigated.
 In arguing the matter before the council last night, Attorney Henry held that the council and the city clerk had no right to pass on the qualification of the men who signed Mir. Harrington 's petition and that his name should be placed on the primary election ticket, unless some one contested the matter in the district court and showed that Mir. Harrington's s petition was illegal.
 The city attorney took the opposite stand, holding that Mir Harrington s petition was not legal and that his name should not be placed on the pri. mary ballot, unless he should take up the matter through the district court and secure writ of mandate compell- ing his name to be placed on the ballot,
 The council took the city attorney $ view in the matter and on motion of Councilman Rose, seconded by Council man HigdOn, the petition was rejected.
 The ground for rejecting the petition was that it did not contain the proper number of signatures, several of the signers not living in the ward specified, or not having registered before the fl. ing of Mir. Harrington s petition.
 Attorney Henry stated after the council had reached a decision that the matter would probably be taken up be- fore the district court, to determine the legal status of the natter MT. liar rngton has not reached decision in the matter and will not take any legal action until he has considered the eff feet of a legal controversy on his cam. paign.
 New Plumbing Rules
 To secure better regulation of plumb. ing in this city, a delegation of plumb, CTS appeared before the council last night, urging that new plumbing or. dinance be drafted at once
 The matter was discussed at some length, with the result that a meeting of special committee of the council, consisting of Aldermen House, HigdOn and Maurel, together with committee of plumbers, will meet at the office of the city attorney this morning to take up the proposed ordinance
 It is probable that the proposed plumbing regulation will be drafted from those of Fl Paso.
 New City Stable
 A contract for the erection of a new city stable, to be built in the rear of the new fire house, was last night awarded to Erwin X Frazier, for the sum of $325.
 Three bids for the erection of the new building were filed with the coun- cil, Charles F. Fruin placing bid of $365 and F, w. Frakes offering to do the work for $33S.
 The bid of Erwin & Frazier was found to be the lowest and as the bid ders gave evidence of their responsible ity, they were awarded the contract without argument.
 The new stable will be of brick two stories in height and of freproof con >struction as far as is possible.
 It is expected that work on the new stable will be commenced at once, as it is needed by both the fire and the water departments.
 No Designations
