The copper era and Morenci leader., 1914-02-06

An important meeting of the city
 council was that held on the even
 ing of Monday, February 2, it being
 then decided, upon review of the
 state laws affecting city elections to
 issue a call on the part of Mayor
 Fraser for the holding, on Monday,
 April 20, of the city's primary cleo
 tion, at which time candidates will
 be chosen by the various parties as
 representatives at the final election
 which will be held on Monday, May
 25.
 At this election, final, selections
 will be made of men for the occu-
 pancy of the officers of mayor, alder
 men, city clerk, city marshal, and
 city street supervisor. Six alder
 men will be elected this year, rather
 than four as has formerly been the
 rule.
 The offices of clerk, marshal, and street supervisor are elective for the
 first time in the history of the state. Because of these changes relating to city officials, the coming pri- mary and final elections are expect ed to be of more than ordinary inter- est. Also the fact that women are now permitted the ballot will intro duce an interesting feature.
 City Clerk Danenhauer is now  gistering the men and women of the town who are qualified for the rights of the ballot. Beginning Monday, February 2, the registration books were opened, and will continue so un- til April 10, closing at the latter time, because of the nearness of the primary election. After this cleo tiop, on April 27, seven days after the primary the books wi II
 ;ef,- in ing open until May 15, after which date no one can by registration ob- tain the right to vote in the final election, which will occur ten days later than the date of final closing. Clerk Danenhauer states that as yet the registration of the ladies is very light. To be eligible for registra- tion, it is necessary that the person be a resident of Clifton for thirty days, and of the state of Arizona for one year prior to the time of appli- cation.
 At the meeting Monday evening, the council interpreted the laws of the state in this respect as demanding that any candidate whether of a party or not, wishing his name to ap- pear upon the primary ballots must file. not more than sixty days or less than twenty days, before the election, his nomination petl- tion,. in addition to other necessary papers, with the clerk of the town council. Chase Creek Sewerage in Abeyance.
 At the Monday evenings meeting | the council decided that the pro- posed Chase Creek sewerage sys- .em construction be held in abey- | ance, this being because of the | of. several citizens to the | effect that the proposed site of the | main outlet of the proposed sewer | V ouli he to the Cetriment of the | sections surrounding. The council | lpI oil,tt..l a committee consisting of | Riley and Stevens to | present to the residents of Fraser's Row and Riverside the question of | he proposed system including those 'ormer two sections in addition to he Chase Creek portion of the own Should the committee named ind that the changes contemplated ,e agreeable to those concerned, it is probable that the outlet of the system will be in the San Francisco, at point several hundred yards below riverside, where, because of the fact hat no habitations are surrounding, he drainage of the sewerage would Lnt he mi ical.
