The fifth place on the board of revenue was won by Bivens, his total vote being 3S10, against 353S for Fowlkes. The unofficial results in all the other county races were confirmed by the official canvass.
 John R. T. Rives led for coroner on the official count with 254S, against 17S4 for Dr. Leon Fox, his next opponent The committee declared Rives duly elected al though Fox filed a formal protest. He declared that the law had specified that only duly licensed physician could hold the office of coroner and since he had secured more votes than any other phy- sician in the contest. he should be de- clared elected.
 The committee held that since the de- cision of Judge Sharpe of the city court had held that part of the law unconsti- tutional, there was nothing for them to do but declare Rives elected Dr. Fox stated that it was his intention to take an appeal from the decision of the lower court in an effort to have the supreme court uphold that section of the act which required that only physicians could hold the office of coroner in Jefferson county.
 The protest of Dr. Fox was entirely formal and was taken SO that his rights in the matter mighG not be waived by acquiescence in the action of the commit tee.
