KEGULaKS veky successful In a Majority ot the Precincts' Court Will Have to De cide Contests. Service to the Patrons. NO TYPHOID IN CITY WATER OFFICIALS ARE NOW IN CITY 1 -J ' Cops and Laddies to Get a Kalse In Salary-Ordinances Intro duced and Passed. The first October meeting of the 'ity council was one of much work. The mayor and every member of the council was present and all seemed In spired with an ambition to do things. Proliably the most Important mat ter to come before the meeting was the city building bond Issue. Having failed to get a buyer for the Issue of last spring, It developed upon the council to call another election, and laat night the city attorney was In structed to draw up an ordinance call Ing for a special election, at which the people will be asked to vote on the question again. The city attorney la expected to have the ordinance ready for passage at the next meeting of the council, which will occur Oc tober 15, and 'the election will be call ed between mat time and November 15. Buyers refused to take the bonds voted at the spring election because teas than two-thirds of the votes were for the Issue, many voters not think ing It worth while to vote on the mat ter as there was no opposition to It. A protest offered by merchants on second street between Gold and Rail road avenues against the laying of a street car track on that highway was turned down, and the Traction com pany was given full consent of the council to proceed with the making of tho loop, which will remove the switch on First street and put a track on Second track. A petition of W. V. Futrelle asking permission to build a flight of step's from his building on the south side of Coal avenue to the east end of the Coal avenue viaduct was referred to the street committee. City Chemist John Weinzirl made a report on the city water made only after several tests of samples taken both from the reservoir and the mains, and each test found Wie water pure, ihe test were made for the special purpose of ascertaining whether or not the water carried ty phoid germs. The city chemist says that the typhoid prevalent in the city does not come from the water, but more likely from vegetables grown on gTound Infected with typhoid germs and an investigation to ascertain whether or not this theory is true is now in progress. The council fully exonerated Officer Kennedy of tne charge preferred against him by Attorney Elfigo Baca. Mr. Baca charged that he went to Kennedy to get a check for $60, which he had put up as bond for a client and the officer Insulted him. The council found that Kennedy was not tie person to whom Mr. Baca should have gone to get the check and con sequently vindicated the officer from any misconduct. The city attorney was Instructed to draw up an ordinance to be reported at the next meeting of the council providing for a raise in salary for both policemen and firemen. The may- or sanctioned the action of the coun cil in the matter and recommended it, giving as his reasons that competent men could not be retained in either department at the present salaries. The police antf fire committees will concur and agree upon what the in creases win be. The committee appointed to confer with the Santa Fe company regarding the sale of the city dumping grounds to the company reported that it had made a careful survey of the situation and had found that it would be policy for the city to sell to the company if the latter would agree to keep in good . repair a sewer outlet that happened to be on the property. The clerk was authorized to enter into a proper contract with the company for the sale of the property. In keeping with a movement start ed sometime ago an ordinance was passed creating the office of sanitary commissioner. It will be the duty of the sanitary commissioner, who will doubtless be a member of the police force, to keep the city clean. He will have the authority to carry out any instructions whatsoever coming from the board of health or. "nave removed any rubblsn or filth that he may find in any nelghlorhood within the city limits that he deems a rnenlce (o public health. The reports of the city officers were then read and referred. .. The, city treasurer's report showed a ual.ince In the treasury on October 1 of $17,182.52. The city clerk's report showed li censes collected in September to the amount of $4,455.50. The chief of police reported police court fines to the extent of $575 for the month. Building Inspector Whlteonib's re port showed twenty permits granted for buildings with a total valuation of $28,000. DEMOCRATS ARE GETTING READY W. B. Walton, secretary ol m um rltorial democratic central committee, and Miss Carrie l.infoot, who will be the committee's stenographer and typewriter, arrived this morning from Silver City, and have established headquarters for the campaign in rooms Nos.

Chairman Jones of the committee will arrive tonight from l as Vegas, and Candidate 1-arrazolo is expected here in a few days, possibly Satur day night. He is scheduled to make a speech In Santa Fe Fridiy night, October 5. It is thought that on the arrival of Chairman Jones -here tonight the fu ture itinerary of Candidates ljirra Jtolo will be announced. The Colorado Telephone Company Lifts Mortgages and Are Now Owners. A. H. IX-Nike, special agent of the Colorado Telephone company, accom panied by A. D. Graham, district man ager, called at The Citizen office this morning and stated that active opera tions have already commenced to ward taking over to the new' system of the Colorado the patrons of the Mutual Automatic. Mr. DeNike states that he has put in the field this morn ing representatives of his company, who will personally call on every tele phone subscriber In Albuquerque and explain to them the advantages of the consolidation. In order to fully ex plain the situation to the citizens of Albuquerque the following interview from Philip Hamlin, president's spe cial agent of the Colorado Telephone company, to The Evening Citizen, is submitted as follows: "I think the fact has been pretty generally known in Albuquerque for some time that the Colorado Tele phone company held the bonds of the Mutual Automatic company. I think too, that most of the business men are aware that some of the heavier stock holders in the Mutual Automatic com pany got under cover as soon as they learned of this fact. There was fur tner reason than this, however, for their action, and that was that the company's liabilities were discovered to be much heavier than anyone had anticipated. Our company was aware of this when we purchased the bonds; and we also, at that time, got options on large portions of the stock, with a view of ultimately consolidating the two companies. "I think nearly every one will agree that . since the changes- In manage ment the service has been fully as good, if not jpetter than before, but in spite of this fact the Mutual Auto matic has been laboring under a heavy ourden and in order to safeguard our mortgage, which is covered by the bonds, we are beginning formal fore closure proceedings. Our people re gret very much that this was neces sary, but even though. we have been pretty lenient in the matter of col lecting the bond Interest, It has seem ed Impossible for the company to rid itself of the large floating debt, and at the same time provide for the bond interest, and also the sinking fund provided for the retirement of the bonds. "It is our hope to complete neces sary legal proceedings in time to have all of the telephone subscribers of Albuquerque in one system at the time our new plant is completed: and with" this in view we are alout to send out some representatives who are to call upon every telephone user In town, lay before them the several classes of service and the rates and arrange for the consolidation. I find that most of the business men are eminently satisfied with our intended action; in the majority of cases the business men will effect a consider able saving in their expense by having but one telephone rent to pay, instead of two, and at the same time reach an equal number of subscribers as over the lines of both companies Hereto fore. "There may be some regret on the part of a few as to the doing away with the automatic service, but we feel that after tho common battery system, whicn we are Installing, has been thoroughly tried this will be en tirely done away with. The automatic service is more adapted to a country town than to a growing city such "as Albuquerque. It Is practically impos sible to give good toll service in con nection with the automatic system, and a large number of the merchants are now availing themselves of our toll lines. "Subscribers who have heretofore paid a rental to bft one company will have the additional advantage of reaching all of the subscribers of the other company as well hereafter. "I feel that this little talk Is. suffi cient to explain our reasons for send ing out solicitors into the field at this time. I estimate that the people of Albuquerque will save some three or four tuousaud dollars per annum on telephone rental when the two sys tems have been consolidated. "Undoubtedly, it will take some time to get the new plant started; new machinery cannot be made to do its best from the beginning, but it has been our experience everywhere, that as soon as the inequalities of the service have been cared for the service is much better than ever be fore." SCHOOL CHILDREN T BE BOARD ENFORCES LAW AS A PRE CAUTION N EW TEACHERS APPOINTED. At a meeting held last night the city school board decided to enforce the vaccination law for pupils attend ing public schools, which provides that each and every scholar must pro duce a doctor's vaccination certificate to be placed on file. The punishment for the failure to do so is a fine of not less than io nor more than $1W. There Is no .mmlnent reason for the enforcement of this law, but the board believes that one dose of pre vention i8 worth two of cure and consequently will enforce the rule as a precaution. The board accepted tn resignation of Mis8 Katheriue Adams, a Second ward teacher, and appointed Miss .a:on to fill the vacancy. Miss Rose Dee, recently of New York, was also appointed a teacher in the Second ward to have charge of one of the overflow rooms. Superintendent Clarke reported that more than 1.50O pupils were already enrolled in the schools and that more were asking for admission every day. Hills were allowed and other routine but-iuess was transacted. Yesterday, throughout the county, the election for mayordomos and com missioners of acequias took place, and In some of the precincts there were lively times, although the factions did not come to blows. From the reports received at The Evening Cltien office this afternoon, it is quite conclusive that the regul ars, against the judges and clerks of the loiters who had Instructions from Bosses Armijo, Grunsfeld, Ruppe, Ro mero and Stroup to carry their pre cincts at all odds, carried a majority of the precincts. Here Is the way some of the bolters acted in their precinucts: Precinct 1, San Jose or Barelas Compromise ticket. No contest be tween the regulars and bolters. Precinct 3, Alameda The regulars say positively that the bolters stole the election, and the election will be carried to the courts for settlement. The bolters claim to have elected Eu genlo Romero for mayordomo; Fran cisco Lucero, E. Montoya and Santi ago Garcia for commissioners. Precinct 6, JLas Padlllas -The regu lars had 52 votes, and the bolters 36 votes. The Judges of election, so it is alleged, misappropriated enough votes to give the certificates of election to the candidates of the bolters. The court will be called upon to settle the question of who were elected in this precinct. Pr.'Mnct 8, Los Oriegos The regu lars carried this precinct by a good majority, and have received their certificates. Precinct 9,' Ranchos de Atrisco There are two ditches in this precinct. The election In the district known as the old ditch was carried by the reg ulars without opposition. Lorenzo Chaves, mayordomo; Juan Jaramlllo, Benito Saradra ana Candldo Page, commissioners, were elected. In the new ditch district Poltcarplo Armijo, the candidate for county commissioner on the bolters' ticket, was one of the judges of election, and the bolters m- oeived 19 legal votes, whilethe regu lars, neaaed by Hon. Severo Sanchez, had 55 legal votes. When the votes were counted in the afternoon, after the election, the bolters claimed a ma Jority of 17 votes. Contest papers will be filed with the court, and Mr. Sanchez ' Bays h6 will have all the Judges and clerks of this district ar rested, charged with receiving frau dulent votes, and he says, changing votes to suit themselves Inside of the room. Pollcarplo Armijo, so says Mr. Sanchei, made a statement before the election that if his party did not re ceive but ten votes he would see to It that his candidates wore successful.' Precinct 11, Pajarito Was carried by the regulars without opposition Precinct 13, Old Albuquerque Car ried by the democrats n,l i.nitoru Leonardo Hunlch being elected mayor' uomo, ana Jonn Alann, Ellseo San chez and Vicente Arias, commission ers. , i - Precinct 26, Los Duranes "Was car ried by the bolters.
