Contrary to expectation, the registration In the eeveral precinct of the city yester day waa exceedingly light. Reports from the registration boards last evening showed that but few names had been added to the lists of last year and that only a small number of voters who bad changed their residence since last election had re-regls-tered. The general apathy said to exist la the approaching election is presumed to be ac countable for the light registration yester day. Another reason given Is that every man baa employment this year and but lit tle time to devote to politics. That there are many new voters In the city is evident by the recently Issued city directory, and both parties will make every effort to se cure a full registration before the lest day for same, which Is Saturday, November 1. The advent of the Great Western Into Council Bluffs and the purchase of Its right-of-way through the city has caused many families in certain precincts to change their residence dicing the last twelve month a The members of these families en titled to vote, Laving changed their place f residence since last November, are re quired to register anew this year, but the reports of the registration boards lsst even ing show that but few of them did. They have yet two days in which to register and every effort will be made by the party work era to have them do so.

Alderman McDonald explained that there waa less than 1800 In the streets and alleys fund and that as long as the city retained the services of a street supervisor and a sidewalk Inspector this amount would be needed to pay their ealarles for the re mainder of the fiscal year. The chairman of the atreets and alleys committee wss emphatlo In his statement that so far as he was concerned he would not consent to the expenditure of 1 cent above the sum appropriated for hie department. It Mayor Morgan aay a way whereby further money for the cleaning of the streets could be se cured, Mr. McDonald said be was only too . willing; to expend It la the manner desired.
