way to any of the witnesses who are to be examined
 ~On the further ground that no copy of the notice of contest or of the answer of Mr Sulzcr to the facts alleged or attempted to be pre- scented by Mr Wickersham is in the possession of the officer taking these dispositions. and therefore the same can not be prefixed thereto when taken, for the purpose of being trans nittcl to the clerk of the House of Representatives as provided by sec ton l26 Of said chapter of the Re vi-cd Statutes of the United States.
 Fl is further objected that the questions propoundcd, or proposed to be propounded, to each and every witness so 10 be examined at Fair banks, Alaska, on the 12th day of June, 1917 are not shown to be within any of the issues presented by the notice of contest and the answer to be filed in this matter, and said witnesses can not know, and do not know, whether or not the questions propounded to them on be half of the contestant are proper questions. or are within the issues, or any issues presented in said con test. nor is il possible for MT. Sul- ger to know what the facts are, re quired 10 be developed by him in the cross-examination of said witnesses for the purpose of meeting their tes- tmOny on direct examination.
 Attet MT Ray had given Attorneys Clark and CIegs permission to in troduce the foregoing objections, he asked Mr Clark to produce the au- thority given him to make objection to the taking of the dispositions. At the beginning of the hearing, or at he time that the dispositions were introduced, he had taken MT. Clrk's verbal statement to the effect that he had been granted authority to act for Delegate Sulzer as fact.
 MT. Clark then failed to comply with Mir. Rays request to see the telegram or other purported author ity, according 10 MT Ray, who said that he gave him until } o'clock last night to produce the desired information and then struck the ob- jections from the record of deposi- tions in the matter.

COUNCIL
 MAKES PLANS
 TO GET FUNDS

The discussion which took place at the city council meeting last evening was on subjects many and various, but little was done. Perhaps the most important subject discussed was taxes and the methods the city is going to use in getting what is just ly and honestly coming to it. For expenses are high and the members of this council have taken a solemn VOW that they will lower the munici- pal debt or know the reason why.
 The discussion last night resulted in the instruction of the city attor ney to look up all data and legal au- thority available relative 10 just what can and cannot be taxed. Automo piles, dogs, lodging houses and dray and transfer concerns were the chief things talked over last night. No action was taken, however, except that t was decided that the matter should be left in the hands of the city attorney for investigation.
 It was pointed out at the meeting last night that Juneau taxes all au- tomobilcs operating within the city limits. '.Why can Fairbanks not do the same thing" was the question propounded. Some of the councilmen thought that the thing could be done; others thought not. The dog ques- tion was not debated to any great extent, all of the counclmen, par ticularly those who have already served a term in office, being glad to let it remain as it is at the pres ent time.
 Whether or not a lodging house can be forced to take out a license to do business remains to be seen. It was pointed out at the meeting last night that of all the lodging houses in Fairbanks, only two are paying licenses, and they do only be cause bar is operated in connec- ton with them. Nobody seemed to think of wondering whether they, too. will not cease to pay a license after the first of the year.
 Drayage and transfer concerns, il was contended at the council meet ing, should pay licenses for doing business. In former days they did pay, but they do not now. Appar- ently it was the sense of the meet ing last night that they should start paying again.
 Other matters of an unlmportant nature at the present time, for the reason that they are not yet ready to break, were discussed.
