Gibson. on behalf of Blackburn.
 Out side of q considerable discus sion regarding the reports of City Cerk CavanauSh and City Treasurer Warner. which did not balance win each other. nothing else of importance was done

 Today Mayor Cummings announced that pcdins the settlement of the case now in court to strai ishten out the chief of police status. both he and City Auditor Cavanaush will not sign salary warrants for either Blackburn or Mcdonald. which was the reason no action was taken last night on sev- cral matters pending as q result of the present status of the office. one of these being the matter of collection of city licenses. and possessi2n of ce'- tain records of the city.
