From Friday's Dally The city faces the possibility of losing one of the ablest members of the city councilman body, John Lutz, the councilman of the iourtn ward, who is now residing with his son, Otto E. Lutz and family on west Pearl street, in the third ward. and which will probably make nec essary the resignation of Mr. Lutz from the seat in the city council. There have been very few men in the long history of the city that has had the long experience in city af fairs that Mr. Lutz has had, having for a great many years served in the council from the fifth ward and who was again induced to make the race for the council seat in the fourth ward and has proven his worth to the city many times in his service in the legislative body of the city government. His ability and exper ience has been a splendid balance in the council and with George Luschin 6ky gave the fourth ward a team of real legislators and practical and able representatives that guarded the interests of the whole city. Mr. Lutz has the courage of his convictions and has stood firmly for those things that he believed best for the city and opposed that which he did not think was for the best interests of the city. The vacancy should be avoided if possible and if any means will permit Mr. Lutz should be retained in the council as he still has his property in the fourth ward, but his residence in the third. There has been no announcement of any change' in the personnel o: the councilmen but there are several that would make the fourth ward strong representatives and including former Mayor C. A. Johnson, George Luschinsky, John K. Schutz, all of whom have had councilmanic exper ience but whether or not they would desire to take up the position is not known. The matter will not be acted on, however, until after Mr. Lutz tenders his formal resignation and it is accepted by his colleagues in the council.

One of the most flagrant violations of the city ordinances in regard to clumping rubbish is reported from the west part of the city where some one has placed a large consignment of tin cans along the graveled road on North 15th street near Oak street hill and where the cans stand as a very disagreeable sight to those who are driving to and from the Oak Hill cemetery and especially as this is the time when large number of the people are visiting the cemetery in preparation for memorial day. This practice should he stopped in the interests of having a neat and attractive looking city and those who have rubbish and cans to dispose of should seek some other spot than the main highways of the city.
