|TAMbLYN DECLARES MARSHAL SAND
CITY ATTORNEYS OFFICES VACANT

ming Mayor Alfred Tamblyn de.
clared the offices of city marshal and
city attorney vacant, paving the way
for installing officers of his own ap-
pointment at future meeting of tho
council. George w. Jackson is still
performing the duties of marshal,
but the new mayor declines to recog-
nize him as other than a private cit
izen. 1t is presumed that Mr.. Lock-
hart is nominally taking the same
course, though his duties bring him
into view only at meetings Of tho
council, where the visible functions
of his Office are performed There
probably have been no legal matters
TO submit to the city attorney since
the proclamation was read, but IL
there were any and these emanated
from the mayor 1t is a certainty that
they would not be submitted to Mr.
Lockhart
Before reading his proclamation
the mayor questioned the council
men as to whether or not their views
had changed upon the matter of
confirming his appointments It was
while proceeding under the head of
new business, after the major part
of the councils business had been
dispatched, that the mayor said:
Gentlemen of the Council: At
previous meeting I made certain
nominations for the appointiye Of
fees under the city government.
placed in nomination the names of
C. A. Eddy for city attorney. c. c.
Caperton for marshal and A. l.. Par
ker for police Judge. These were
rejected at the time. l wish TO ask
IL you still feel the same way or
whether there has been any change
In your views"
Il will say that so sfar as l am
concerned there has been no change
in my views" replied Councilman
Fred T. West. Il had hoped for
some solution and one of the Of
ficers of the previous administration,
the city clerk. has furnished Sc
luton in her case by Tesigning,
making way for accepting the nom
ination made by the mayor. be-
lieve 1t will possibly work out in
the course of time, but so far I do
not wish to make any changes"
AT the previous meeting l asked
for the resignation of the clerk"
said Mayor Tamblyn, 'and 1t has
been handed In. but no others have
been handed in. That being your
attitude 1 will read the following
proclamation: !
Whereas, The office of city at
torney and city marshal of the city

the best interests Of the city of

No discussion or comment fol-
lowed the reading of the proclama-
tion. neither Mer. Lockhart nor Mr..
Jackson, who were present, doing
other than to listen and hold their
peace. evidently with good nature
and composure.
While there is clause in the
proclamation saying that the vacan-
cies shall be filled In the manner
provided by law. nothing was said
by the mayor at the time as to when
he would offer names for further
consideration of the council
II was somewhat earlier in tho
meeting and Immediately after the
farmalities of its opening that the

cessor is in charge Of the Office.
Mayor Tamblyn asked that the
city books for the last two years be
