At a special meeting of the city council Monday evening, called for the purpose of opening bids for the Spurgeon slreet improvements, Coun- cilmen L. H. Hazard and E. E. Johnson resigned. Both gave as their reasons for so doing that th y were too busy with their own ; f- fairs to give the neoessary time r - quired by the city. As these two council men were the only ones whose terms of office did not expire this spring, it ne cessitates the election of an entir- new council next month. The terms of Anderson. I ..an l, Kistner and Morrison expire at the next regular meeting. It is not now known whether any of these gentle men will be candidates for election or hot. A. W. Kelley announces his candidacy for the office of city recorder again. At the meeting Monday night suf ficient opposition to the p* ins of improvements for Spurgeon street developed to cause the council to adopt an ordinance repealing the one recently passed. The principal objection of the residents of that section was on the grades estab lished and the fill ia the gulch that crosses the street. Instead of hav ing a 16-foct roadway acioss thu latter and board walks on the side, they want the road bulklieaded and filled the entire width, so that ce ment walks can be laid the same as along the balance of the street.
