"Thcn there were five who each received two votes, SO that if those receiving the highest number of votes desire to qualify for the Coun- fcil. it would make only five, while thc law provides for seven.
 There is no provision in the law for the casting of lots. or the deter imitation of which Of the others yot- ed for would be elected. This is defect in the law which ought 10 be rcmcdicd and which will no doubt be done at this session of the lcgis- Iaurc. 1T it is Inc law that the old Council must hold their office until their successors are elected and qualified. and it is also the law that those five receiving the highest num- bor of votes should be declared elect cd when they qualify. the question then arises, whose place should the five members take and which five members of the old Councl should give way to those five receiving the l highest number of votes at the clec- ton of April lst. As stated. the law makes no provision for such an emergency.
 "It has been called to my attcn- ton that Mir IT, F.

Loomis had been elected to fll his place It has been suggested that perhaps Mir.

 the law. and I can sec no reason why he should take Mir. Loomis' r place any more than he should take the place of any other member Of [ the Council.
