NEW YORK, November 19-The cot

able weather in the eastern belt. Jan
uary contracts sold up to 11.S2, while
March advanced to 1910 with the gen.

IL points during the early trading. The
market met considerable realizing at
this level, however, and prices reacted

end of the first hour. General business

Trading was very quiet later in the

ruling around 11.78. and March 1904

WANTS VOTE OF PEOPLE
ON GOVERNMENT CHANGE
Civic Federation Objects to the I'm
mediate Appointment of Alex
andria County Manager.

Demands that the appointment of a
county manager for Alexandria county
be deferred until the proposition can
be voted on blythe taxpayers of the
county were formulated this afternoon
at meeting of the Alexandria County
Civic Federation in the office of Fred
5. SWindell, in this city.
The federation. which embraces prac-
tically every civic organization in the
county, has been active for some time
in the movement to obtain the appoint
ment of a county manager, who is to serve
as adviser to the board of supervisors.
At the last meeting of the board it was
decided to appoint a manager, this action
being taken without consulting the Civic
Federation
The latter organization thereupon
called a special meeting for this after
noon, at which representatives of the
various organizations included in the
federation were present. 1t was de-
cided that the proposed appointment
is of such Importance to the taxpayers
of the county that the voters should
be permitted to have a voice in the
matter The demands formulated at
this afternoons meeting are to be
transmitted to the board of supervisors
this evening or tomorrow.
