The Council canvassed the returns of the election and declared it to be regularly held, and announced the Iresult in accordance with the re- 'turns. Mr. Kelsey Blanton, city attorney, !made a lengthy statement, the bur- den of which was that proper pro- vision' for change from the councjl- !manic to the commission form of l‘f:ovcrnment had not been maide, and that the clection as authorized and (called could not be effective in es- tablishing the commissiop govern- ment. Attorney A. X. Erickson was of the opinicn that everything neces- sary to establish the commission form had been done, but thought it advisable to have the supreme court pass upon the matter and thus set it at rest. Attorneys Epps Tucker and Lawler ‘were also of the:opinfon that it was to the best interests of all the clti- zens that the controversy be settled by the highest authority at the earl- 'lest possible date, go that the matter might be set at rest, thus avolding future complications. {1 after much discussion, finally agreed that the bhest method ‘of gotting the question before the courts would be for the mayor to call the regular annual clection for a Mayor and four conncilmen, as pro- vided by the charter. The commis- sfoners will then bring a friendly suit enjoining this election, the mat- ter ean go hefore the eupreme ecourt in December and can be settled be- fore Jan. 1, the date when a change of administration snonld ocenr. At that time, if the court decides in fav- or of the com'nissioners, they can as- sume the reins of government; fif their decision is adverse, then the Conneil as elected will be orcanized and the commissfon form will have to await a later election. 5 The proceedings are elmply for the (purpose of finally cettling the va- lidity of the plan of commission gov- lernment as recently voted, and |should be, and doubtless will be, con- (ducted in the most amicable spirit. | The Council will hold another meeting Monday night for the pur- {pose of hearing the plans of attor- |neys on both sides, who in the mean- |time will decide in conference as to whether the matter be brought into ,court by injunction, mandamus a quo warranto proceedings. was, |G0OD EXAMILE TO CTHER COUNTIES Orlando, Oct. 11.—No longer will the travelor in Orange county be foreed to use the “yard stick” or the nroverbial “ball of twine” to find his way homeward, when encountering ome of the tangled roadways in cep- «‘n sections throuzh the rural dis- tricts.
