TWO NEW COUNCILMEN ELECTED
BT CITY DADS
Old faces disappeared and new
ones took their places at the council
chambers last night, when A. K.
Walker was unanimously elected by
the Council to fill the vacancy caus
ed by M. J. Heneghan's failure to
qualify. When Mr. Walker had been
sworn in, Geo. M. Chesney tendered
his resignation as councilman owing
to the fact that he had moved to
George Inlet and was thus unable
to continue in the office. The resig
nation was accepted ,and an advis
ory ballot taken to select his suc
cessor. Five votes were cast, P. G.
Shark receiving two, Mrs. W. A.
Bryant one, W. G. Strong one. and
W. H. Patching one. A discussion
followed, on who could be console!
ed as available timber for the of
fice, after which a second ballot was
taken, which wag unanimous for Mr.
Patching, and he wag declared elect
ed.

mente flying as far as they would
otherwise have done. The Kaiser is
said to have quietly advised those
with him to find places of shelter,
but was in no hurry to move him
