City Clerk William Bates is being
kept busy this week going over the
list of names of those who signed
the petitions to recall the four city
commissioners and the mayor, and
also recording the names of those
who wish to be stricken ont from
the original recall petition. The
judges who We're appointed to 20
over these lists have had several
evening sessions and it is expected
that by next Monday morning every
thing will be ready to make a report
to the city council. j
At that time City Clerk Bates will
make a report as to his findings to
the city council and if there are
sufficient names on the recall petit.
ton, it will be filed. In case, how
ever, there are not enough names,
which seems to be the case, the pc
tition will be returned to Il. v. Wat

to amend the petition by securing
additional signatures.

Already enough persons have re-
quested to have their names striclS-.

being filed, and it has been found.
says Mr.. Bates, that large number
of signers of the recall were not
voters. while yet others failed to
give their addresses, and according
to the charter the name must be
leglbly written, together with the
house and street address. Some Of
the persons whose names were
found on the petition did not live
at the addresses given, and of course
these had to be stricken from the
list. -.
It is understood that z, V. Wat
tiers is determined to make this a
fight to the finish and is already
out securing more names for another
petition, which he intends to use on
the original, in case it is rejected
by the council. For this purpose,
he has ten days in which to amend
the petition after its rejection.
When E. V. Waters was seen to-
day, he refused to make 4 statement
but he said he was not doing any
thing toward securing more names
for the recall as yet. He will be
prepared to say whether or not; he
intends to make an amendment to
the petition in case it is rejected.
