The pro- pose station will be 17 feet south of the trolley track around the triangle and five feet away from the track in the center of the street. It will also be five feet away from the curb on the west side of Main street.

With the price $3,000 for erecting the building, the trolley officials waould pay $150 per annum * for rental. To Enforce Building Line, City Engineer Hall presented a re- port concerning the butlding line at the corner of Booth and Broad streets, for whose elimination Frank Monkevicz presented a petition some time aga.

The republicans elected eleven candidates 10 the city council and the democrats only four, which, with the election of the two republican candidates for sheriff, showed that the democratic victory applied only to the head of the ticket.

REFORM MAYOR. Four-Cornered Fight in Boston With Peters Elected. Boston, Dec. 19.—For the first time in cight years Boston has elected a reform mayor. Andrew J. Peters, for- mer assistant secretary of the treasury and representative of the Back Bay and better business element of city, having been chosen by a plural- ity of 9,074. His election 'was the result of an extremely bitter four-cornered fight. Mr. Deters’ opponents including the present mayor, James H. Curley, and two members of congress, James A. Gallivan and Peter F. Tague. All four are nominally democrats, ai- though the municipal balot was non- partisan. . Congressman Gallivan, who is an extremely popular character in the city’s life, made a strong fight on an “anti-gang” platform, and it is un- doubtedly due to his strong run that the defeat of Curley was effected. Con- | eressman Tague ran a very poor last. The final vote for each as tabulated with few precincts missing, is: Peters, 38,100; Curley, 28,271; Gallivan, 19,- 345; Tague, 1,761. There was little interest in the li- cense vote, as the no-license forces had been peculiarly inactive through- out the campaign. This is the last vote counted, but indications are that ! the majority for license will be about council is thrown | 26,000. Three other Massachusetts cities Two Stores the | 95 Arch St. voted on the license question today. North Adams switched back from its dry vote of last year and went wet by 349 majority.

Brush, his Republican opponent, will make a contest in the courts, claiming 2 majority of four. | There was a question as to the vote j of a soldier in the Fifth Ward, and so friends of Mayor Fiske went before Justice Keogh at New Rochelle to de- termine whether the vote should be counted. The Justice directed that the ballot be added. It was cast by a. man named Hempy, who is now in the Trench trenches in 3 “I think I will win by at least two votes,” said Mayor Fiske. “The late soldier returns show it. I .expect more soldier votes in my name to be cast by men who are now in the French trenches.” { Dr. Brush, the Republican nominee sald: I can see no result but one, and that is that I have been elected a Mount Vernon stood on an even basis with Brush clsiming his election by 4 and Fiske his re-clection by 2 major- ity.
