little was put in with Haig, with whom
he was rapidly cementing friendship.
The June primaries were at hand.
John felt less pride than responsibility

TWO AMENDMENTS TO Be
MADE TO CITY CHARTER
COUNCIL ACTS ON BOARD HEALTH
APPROPRIATION AND PAY.
MENT OF CITY TAXES.

The question of charter amend
ments attracted the attention of the
city council last night for perhaps an
hour and though the evening was
warm, the members livened up ana
the discussion was little gingerly.
The proposed changes in the city-
charter were not of very serious ma
ture and out of the three proposed,
two of them succeeded in running the
Samut of the board, while til other
staggered and fell by the wayside. The
first proposed amendment was to limit
the expenditures of the board of
health to the actual appropriat. on for
that purpose on the annual hudget.
This was opposed by Alderman Geo.
H. Cook, who called for the aye and
nay vote 1t carried, however, the
other members of council voting as
unit for it. The second Drc vision
did not meet with any opposition and
was passed unanimously. 1t provides
for the payment of city taxes in two
installments, instead of in one as is
the case at present. There seems to
be a question as to the lesa' right
of the city to issue executions against
property owners who do not pay the
first installment under the present
law q Gthe change is made TO make
the position of the city safe in that
connection
The last amendment met defeat by
a vote of five to three. 1t provided
for four election precincts for all the
primary and general city elections, a
voting oCOth or precinct to be located
in each OF the four city yards. Aid
erman Hopkins was opposed to this
change and moved that it be stricken
Alderman Calnan favored it, How
ever, Acting Mayor Ludwig was in
the chair, and vacating it, tCCk the
I floor in opposition to the measure The
aye and nay vote was called and the
clause was defeated by the following
vote For the amendment Aldermen
Leo, Nash and Calnan; against it,Ald-
ermen Ludwig, Cook, Hopkins. Nit
chelson and McKinnOn. So the list
with the exception of the third amend
! ment was passed and the represen-
tative from Glynn will be a0ked to
have the charter so amended at the
present session of the Legislature.
