CITY STREETS
 MAY bE OILED
Council InStructs Committee tG Obtain Estimates on Cost of the
 Work
TO FINISH ROAD WORK

The city council. at a special meet. ing last night. considered the oiling of the streets of the city. The mat ter was brought up by Councilman Kinney. who submitted figures show Ing the cost of watering or sprinkling the streets last year. He suggested that if would be a good idea for the street committee to obtain estimates on the cost Of such work and the council concurred in the suggestion, referring the matter 10 the street committee.
 Councilman Quick said that he would object to oiling the streets in the business section Of the city to the exclusion of the residential streets and particularly to the oiling of Naco road under such conditions the ben eft of which he said was confined to the pleasure of autoists."
 A number of matters were reported on by the street committee, which spent a good portion of yesterday in investigating assignments of work The building committee recommended that a petition for a permit to operate an Open air moving picture show on a vacant lot on Main street, above the food gate. be denied and the recommendation was adopted.
 The coLncil employed Frank Thom- as as interpreter of the city court on a salary of S35 per month He is also interDreter of the justice courts of the Risbee and Lowell precincts. Councilmen Hill and Quick opposed this action
 Tho report of Sewer Commission CT Perry. who is also sanitary off Ger, showed a month Of activity in that department. The figures on the cost Of the recent cleaning of the city sewers will be given in his next re port. He reported. among other things. that 20 hogs had been ban. ished from the city as nuisances.
 Acting on the advice of the street committee. the members of which visited the Tombstone Canyon road eXtensiCn yesterday. the council or. dercd the street supervisor to go ahead with the work It was estin. ated that it will cost an additional Sl ,0p0 10 complete the road.

but the intention was predicated by the assumption that Arizona would be admitted in 1911. Whatever they intended, lawyers say that they did not provide for a state election in 1912. Arizona was admitted in 1912 and under a strict interpretation of the constitution, the next election would come in 1914.
 Against this general provision for the election Of state. county and pre-. cinct officers, is the specific provision that the officers elected at the first state election should serve until January l, 1913, but it was under the impression that Arizona would be admitted to statehood in 1911. Law. yers are inclined to believe that un- der the circumstances the general provision should have more weight than the specific one
 In another place in the organic law, it is provided that all officers shall serve until their successors have been elected and qualified. so if an election is not held, the tenure Of the present holders Of office in the state will undoubtedly be legal, lawyers who have studied the matter state
 Tn any event, a decision of the supreme court on the question would have quieting effect, no matter which way decided, is the opinion oi lawyers. and would validate what came afterwards.

Tuesday afternoon near Naco by the inspector
 Alter escaping from the jail throu gh the lunch port hole in the steel door. the Sandoval youth started out for Naco, evidently fearing severer punishment than being returned to Mexico. The officer overlook him a few miles this side of the border city and the youth is nov in custody at Nacn.
 Inspector Schafer will arrive in the city this morning to get the three other Mexican boys who were ar rested at the time of the arrest of the Sandoval youth, who was the leader of the l!ttle flock of Mexicans that broke over the Mexican range. The three Mexicans who remained in the iail because their bodies were too large to pass through the open ing in the door, have been having the time of their lives in the Bisbee jail. Their singing yesterday and Tuesday night was interrupted only at meal time, when they stopped to eat They appeared to be ravenously hungry and kept alternating hand fuIs of food going to their mouths all the time.
 The three boys formed a limited quartet and they sung snatches Of songs in spanish all day yesterday and appeared to be very happy. The secret O their happiness appeared to be the meals that are furnished pris- oners by tbe county, which to their poor little starved stomachs were visions of gastroncmic bountifulness.

CLUB ELECTS
 NEW OFFICERS
J fOakum and w A Schwartz Chosen President and Vice President of
 Commercial Club
TWO NEW DIRECTORS

It was election night at the Com. merclal club last night wen the di rectors met and received the resigna- tions of II. D. McVay and Parker l.. WoOdman from the board and as| president and yice-president respect. lively, elected two new directors, as the bylaws provide should be done, and then elected a new president and a new vice-president of the club Jesse Yoakum is the new president. w. 4. Schwartz is the new vice president and R. L. Stallings and F. F.. Coles were chosen to fill the va cancies on the board.
 The importance of the directors meeting of the club was fully recog. nized, and eight oG the nine members were present. The loss that the club was sustaining by the removal from Bisbee of the two presiding officers was felt by all and the desire was to substitute for them the very strongest obtainable men. although il
 was recognized that two such person alities can not readily be duplicated The . meeting proceeded with other routine and regular business, and
 cleared the decks for the all-import- ant action. This followed the reading and acceptance of tre resignations Of
 Messrs. McVay and WOodman. which
 will take effect on Saturday. Both of them retain their membership and
 continue to give their financial sup
 port to the club even though leav-
 ing the district
 After the action on the resignations had been taken. the first business was
 to fill the vacancies on the board.
 K. L. Stallings, F. F. Coles, Will Solo
 mon. I. J., Bowen and P. NJ. Buck. walter were placed in nomination and
 ballot was taken which resulted in i the choice of Messrs Stallings and Coles.
 Following the filling Of the yacan cies on the board. nominations for ! president were called for. II. D. Me. ! Way nominated Jesse Yoakum, who i declared that an added stress of busi. ness al this time would preclude his acceptance but afterward he con. scented to Undertake the duties of tho office
 | Next came nominations for vice. i president, and it was plain that W. A. Schwartz\, was the choice. He however. made a motion that the bal. lot be taken with all directors as candidates, which resulted in five votes for him, two for Sam Franken
 berg and one for William Drury. Tn, election of MT. Schwartz was then made unanimous.
 Earlier in the meeting the secre- tary had reported the present mem. bership of PSI.
 Beyond the election of officers, the most important matter considered
 was relative to fire insurance rates
 and the amendment Of certain city ordinances on the subject of fire pro tection and precautions, including the appointment of a fire marshal, which will later be brought to the atten
 tion Of the city council.
