debts have been settled, u new kite
bought for a cit hall, a large
amount of street work put under

amounts of legislation put on the
record books of the city: in fact,
there has been a gnat improvement
in all ways and hues about the
city. There are a few legacies the
old council will hand down to th'-

pation tax ordinance, the plumbing
ordinance, a telephone franchise,
and some unsettled street work. I
trust the new council will have
pleasant sailing during its term."
Attorney Greene then swore in
the newly elected members of the
council, the mayor treasurer and
recorder and a moment later the
old council declared that they were
merely common citizens with the
exception of V. II . King.

A communieiition from Kuginccr

accepted.
A corrected estimate for the im
