Or. Dickson Again.

DR.. Dickson secured recognition and
arraigned the assessors but his motion
for committee to investigate the
conduct of the assessors was received
with such laughter that he sat down.
Collins moved that ]. P. Hornish
and F. T. Hughes prepare the petit
tons for the signers and Rovane
urged every telephone user to sign
them Immediately. Nothing was said
about the other two ordinances for
publicity OF affairs and to prevent the
council from anticipating revenues
for expenditures and it is probable
that the petitions for the initiation of
those ordinances by the people will
not be circulated until the telephone
question Is settled although theysmay
all be circulated at the same time.
The crowd was impatient by this
time and motion to adjourn carried.
