 Dr. F. H. Waite-"There are several reasons which cause me to think that the protesters in this movement will not be sue cessful in having the bond cleo tion declared invalid.
 "The chief one is this: When the attorneys ofa bond company, who are invariably the best and highest priced talent available, approve the procedure accom- panying a bond issue, the regu- larity and legality of such pro- cedure may we'll be considered as fully established.

WlnSIOW, ATlZO1d, Jan. ZO.- Since the recent election on the sewer bond question a movement has been on foot by number of local people interested in the re- suit. the purpose of which is to test the validity of the acts of the common council which pre- ceded and followed the election. About three weeks ago plan of action having been outlined, Attorney Alexander of Phoenix was brought here and spent the day in examining the records ot the council and making an inves- tigation ot everything bearing on the situatian as related to the sewer bond ordinance and the letting of the construction work.
 A letter received from the at- torney during the past week ad- vises his clients here that he has discovered two instances at least in W hich the council failed to con- form with legal requirements, which points would probably constitute sufficient grounds for invalidatng the entire proceed ings.
 One of his contentious is that Alderman Alex Robertson is not legally an alderman, since he is serving by appointment instead of by election as required by law If Alderman Robertson's pres ence at any time was necessary to constitute a quorum, or if his vote was necessary to constitute a majority, it is believed that acts of the common council under such circumstances would be invalid,
 The other contention is the attorneys claim that proposals for bids on the construction of the work should have been ad vertised before letting the con- tract.
 It is understood that Mir. Alex ander Will be instructed to bring the case to trial and a subscrip- ton list is being circulated to SC sure the funds necessary to defray the cost of legal services.
 From those who have been in terviewed thus far on the present aspect of the situation the fol lowing statements have been SC cured:
 Alderman Fred La Prade-"Yes Pm one that's fighting this thing and 1 hope we'll win out I pu, up money and Pm W filing to put up more if it's necessary to carry it to finish Iopposed the sewer proposition from the start and was the only one who voted against it.

to have 1t, 1 voted to have the bids received and considered right away because as long as we have to pay the interest now, l figured the best thing to do was to start the work at once and get the ben eft of 1t as soon as possible. I voted to give it to the lowest bid der for the same reason. This town can get along all right for fen years yet without any big sewer system. Suppose we do put 1t in; at the end of thirty years we'd be just where we started and the system would have to be torn up and another one put in.

should be published for a stated length of time before awarding the contract. It was my purpose to put in a bid myself and 1 feel that or anybody else wh O wanted to bid had a just cause of grievance in being deprived of a proper opportunity to enter the contest. Furthermore, while we are not in q position to prove our suspicious there are a number of of us who believe that the whole thing was manipulated and that the coterie ofhidders present were all decoys repreS enting the same construction company.
 Another thing which I believe was entirely wrong was the ac tion ot the council in opening and considering those bids behind closed doors after excluding from the hall everyone present but themselves and Mir. Bullock, the engineer.
 "As to the maturity of the bonds 1 believe the majority of taxpay- CTS would have favored the plan of retiring the bonds at a much shorter period instead of at the end of thirty years as provided by the resolution. There's no sense in the city obligating itself to pay interest on $4O,OOO for al period of thirty years, and at the same time allowing a sinking fund to remain in the bank at a rate of interest less than the rate paid on the bonds."
 Mayor Schaal-"Pm not in clined to look seriously on the contentious brought up by the attorney for those who are con- testing the validity of the bond election or the proceedings of the council on that measure. They may succeed in tying up the city for while, but 1t 1t ~ ';-illl H be fer o.aly4 a short time. 1 feel sure that all the laws have been compiled with and that if the mattergets as far as court an injunction will be denied.
 Alderman P. A. Ward -"I don't see how there can be any ground for contest, Throughout the proceedings we were guided by the district attorney ill com plying with all laws on the sub- ject. As to Alderman Robert sons appointment I don't know what the law is on the subject, but for several years back there has always been some alderman serving by appointment"
 W. H. Dagg-'Like many others interested in the subject 1 had reason to think there was room for doubt on the legality of the councils acts on the sewer prOpo. sition and was willing to con- tribute to the cost of getting an opinion on the subject from la wyer.
 "Attorney Alexander, after a visit nere and an examination of the proceedings of the councils acts, advises us that there are at least two instances in which the laws were not complied with. The first one is the future of the council to advertise for bids tor the construction of the work; the other is his claim that the ap- pOintment of Alex Robertson as alderman was illegal.
 "Personally have been in favor of a sewer system but I think the manner in which some of it's pro. ceedings have been conducted leaves room for criticism. As to just what will be done in con- testing the election 1 can't make any definite statement at this time.

June Forecasts.

The month of June enters in the
midst of regular storm period central
about the 1st, calling for decided rise
of temperature with rain, wind and
thunder touching that date. Look for
high temperature and vicious thunder
storms within three days of the 7th and
reports of seismic shakes in various
parts of the globe. A regular storm
period covers the 10th to 18th. This is
the annual June crisis of magnetic and
electric perturbations. Auroral lights
with electric storms are natural at this
time. A prolonged tendency to daily
thunder storms and showers may be
expected during the reactionary storm
period, 18th to 10Th. The Mercury per-
iod is also In force at this time almost
insuring prolonged spell of stormy
weather. A third regular storm period
central on the 23rd with full moon
promises one of the most dangerous
storms of the month. Look for phe-
nomenal electric displays with rain,
hail and tornadoes. A very low Their
mometer will give ample warning. A
reactlOnary storm period covers last
three days OF June. Renewed storms
of ram, wind and thunder will visit
many sections on and touching the 10Th.
The outlook for June is full of pros
poets for unsettled, stormy weather.
All sections in central to northern
states will most likely have an excess
of rain, while the south and southwest
may not have normal amount of rain
fall. If sudden extremes of tempera-
ture should not follow storm periods,
and if tremulous thunder storms are
not general over the globe, earthquakes
will be more destructive and wide
spread.
