 February l as the date.
 The successful candidate for the po- sition was generously congratulated. for there were several others in the field who were warmly supported by their friends. Fowler is thoroughly conversant with the work and has had charge at various times of the street gangs under the former super intendent. There is no question as to his efficiency and ability to per form the duties of the office in d manner satisfactory to the taxpayers
 A special meeting of the council was called for last night with the original intention of acting on the sewer plans So much work came up however. that the plans were allowed to go over to another meeting to be held later on.
 Council first went into star cham Der session and after half hour re- turned to an open session. The first business was the reading of Carr's resignation and it's acceptance. Stauf- fer then moved that Fowler be ap- pointed temporarily to the vacancy. In other words he is to fill out Carr's term which, while more or less indef- mite. is supposed to go over from one election to another The nomination was seconded by Campbell and car ried unanimously.
 Robert Craig. superintendent of the water department was asked to draw up specifications and advertise for bids for a 5000. .000-gallon pump. He was requested also to take up the matter of electric power for pumping purposes. It is believed that power can be obtained from Roosevelt for operating the big pumps cheaper than by steam power. He will confer with Supervising Engineer Louis Hill of the reclamation service in regard to it.
 Councilman Hackett's sidewalk sweeping edict was brought up and again referred to the city attorney as it's meaning is still somewhat Ob- scure. and nebulous in regard to the hours at which the walks in the busi- ness portion of the town may be swept. Two ordinances making 1t misdemeanor for a minor to purchase or procure liquor at a saloon in the city of Phoenix, and for anyone to procure a minor to purchase liquor. were read for the third time and both passed unanimously. In the past 1t has been an offense to sell liquor to minors but not for the minor to pur- chase it if he could. The second ordi- nance is aimed at the person who makes use of minor to procure in toxicants.
 number of petitions were then read from people who want arc lights installed in their neighborhoods. All the petitions were granted except one which asked for two lights. only one of which was thought necessary. The places at which lights will be put in are Eighth avenue and Adams; Twelfth avenue and Adams; Four teenth avenue and Adams; Fourth avenue and Palm Lane; Polk and Grand avenue: Third street and Pierce: Roosevelt and First street.
 A petition was read from over half the property owners of Brill addition asking that that addition be annexed to the city The city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance to that effect There are two other additions which will also be annexed in a short time The city council is glad to extend a welcome to these ad- 1itions especially at this time with the census man coming around soon.
 Councilman Hackett asked that especially of personal property be made by the city assessor. Hackett stated there were good many people in town who have pianos and other personal effects that the assessor doesn't know about and he thought they should contribute to- ward the expense of running the city.
