House last evening, was attended b.
nearly one hundred citizens. Ant
judging from the time spent at tn
meeting, it must have been a tamt
affair as compared with formel
years. President of City Council

ing. The nomination of officers theI
took place. The terms of Council
man Roe in the first ward and that

nominated again without opposition
Councilman Roe was not nominated
and contest developed in the first
ward. L. T. Jones, Fred c. Powell
and former Councilman W. S. Smith
were nominated. Mr.. Jones was not
present and many believe he will
withdraw and not enter the race. NJ.
T. Adams, father of Mayor Adams,
was again nominated for tax receiv-
er without opposition. w. Floyd
Turner, the present treasurer, did
not arrive at the meeting until late
and the citizens selected Theodore
H. Harrington as a candidate for
treasurer. Joseph B. Fleming, Frank
H. Van Gosel and Arley Wix were
selected as a three member board of
assessors who will make a general
assessment this year. Previous to
the meeting many rumors we're out
about various ones wanting office
but it is evident that friends failed
to push their nomination. Former

toned for tax receiver, Albert Welch
had been mentioned as q member of
the board of assessors, and H. c. Tee

over councilmen: second, fourth and
