MAYOR DECLARES
THOMPSON ELECTED.
Vacancy In City Council Ended
Through Election of W. R.
Thompson—Some Doubt Ex
pressed As To Validity Of
Election—Im prove
ment District Ordi
nance Given
First Read
ing.
The first session of the city council
for over a month proved that the
harmony of action, which has as a
rule characterized the proceedings of
ihe present membership, can no
longer be counted upon with any de
gree of assurance. The council ap
parently stands divided by a vote of
two to one on the' making of an im
provement district, for the paving of
Front street.
Consideration of this issue was in
troduced in the presentation of a pe
tition signed by G. W. Hurley, N. B.
Wishon, Nettie Bond, Lena McDonald
Henry, W. M. Bailey, Arthur D. Bail
ey, J. M. Jones, S. J. Stayton, Jno. W.
Stayton, Jos. M. Stayton and Wolff
Goldman Realty Company, praying
the council to form an improvement
district, composed of the property
abutting on Front street, between
Beech and Main streets. By unanim
ous vote this petition was ordered
spread upon the record.
Alderman Bailey then presented an
ordinance to lay off such an improve
ment district, which was given a first
reading, but the same was here al
lowed to rest, a unanimous vote being
necessary for second reading and Al
derman Wilmans had expressed his
tu i/ixo lucnoiuc.
In the election of an alderman to
fill the vacancy from the First Ward.
W. R. Thompson was placed in nom
ination by Wishon and M. M. Stuckey
by Wilmans. In voting, the ballots
of Wishon and Bailey were cast for
the former and Wilmans for the lat
ter. The mayor then declared W. R.
Thompson to be elected, and it is
supposed that he is supported in his
ruling by the city attorney, who was
not present at the time. Doubt is ex
pressed as to the validity of Thomp
son’s election as the two votes by
which he was elected do not consti
tute p majority of the full member
ship. Mr. Tbompson’8 popularity and
qualifications for the office will
doubtless prevent any attempt to
contest his election.
The resignations of Chief of the Fire
Department J. R. Mayhan and the
members of the company were pre
sented, but no action was taken upon
either.
A card was read from the state au
ditor, T. C. Monroe, stating that the
city had 83.00 to its credit from the
state.
A petition from citizens asking for
crossing over Iron Mountain track on
Martin Street was referred to the
street and alley committee.
The minutes of last meeting, March
9, were read and approved and the
usual accounts allowed.
ELECTRIC RAILWAY
PROPOSED BY PROMOTERS.
Poplar Bluff, April 13.—W. K. Palm
er, of Kansas City and R. A. Young
blood, of Salem, Ark., promoters of
the contemplated electric railroad
from Fayetteville, Ark., to this city,
arrived on No. 4 this afternoon and
will meet the citizens tonight at 8:30
o’clock in the Elks’ club rooms.
The road has passed beyond the
point of being a project and is almost
a certainty. The survey is being
made and these two gentlemen wish
to consult with Poplar Bluff business
men as to the right of way, etc.
The road will be similar to a steam
railroad except that electric engim s
will be used. The reason for this is
that the line will cross a number of
streams from which water power can
be procured absolutely free, this re
ducing the running expenses of the
road to a minimum. It is to be hoped
that a large number of citizens will
meet these gentlemen tonight.
