ing Sargents alleged weakness as
: prosecutor, the coalition hoped
to pave the way for the employ

sci to hale the Mellon concern into

The movement turned the Ad-
ministration forces into fighting

viewpoint that special prosecutions
and senatorial Investigations must
be stopped now once for all. or
the executive departments will be
forever forced to step aside when
their actions displease Congress.

TOWN OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
Resolution No. 154

A resolution of the Mayor and
Common Council of the Town of
Flagstaff, assuming a city organiza-
ton.
Whereas, paragraph 1881 of Chap
ter II, Title 7, Page Gal, Revised
Statutes of Arizona 1913, Civil Code,
provides that:
"When any town shall have ac-
quired a population of three
thousand, the inhabitants thereof
may, by vote of the Common
Council, assume city organiza-
ton, under such name as the
councilmen may designate;" and
Whereas, the 14th census Of the
United States, it being the last one
taken, shows the population OF the
Town of Flagstaff, in the County Of
Coconino, State of Arizona, to be at
that time 1886; and
Whereas, since then more territory
has been added to said town, and the
population increased to consider
able extent, so that the present char
ter is not adapted to the present and
increasing needs of said town; and
Whereas, it appears to the common
council that there is a general feel
ing on. the part Of the inhabitants of
said town that advantage should be
taken of said statutes and said town
