ment.
Supervisor Mcclellan was the only
one who voted against the passage Of
the ordinance, all the others being in
accord with Murray's motion which
was seconded by Supervisor Kruger.

tators at the meeting last evening, the

Supervisor Low stated recently that
the mayor would contest the ordinance
anyway, and it might as well be passed

Murray believes that the ordinance
by its passage renders all positions of

Mayor Fern states that Wilder can
not be replaced until he resigns or is
discharged and he says that as he APP
pointed him he will neither ask for his
resignation nor discharge him.
There is where the parties to the con-
troversy stand, and the next move is
being watched with interest.
