lays: "Revisora appointed by the
commissioner to prepare voters' lists
'or Yukon council election com
nenced their work throughout i;he
erritory today, and during the naxt
hirty days will be occupied in the
) reparation of the lists.
"The commissioner stated that
here will be a general Yukon coun
cil election shortly after the lU's
iro completed.
"The term of the present council
will expire early in May, and, al
though another session might be
held before then, the commissioiier
ioes not consider that it would be
fair to the incoming council to do
so, as at that session the appro
priations for the year will be made,
ind the new council which wouid
iave to be elected in May would
ake office with the appropriations
for the first year of their term al
ready voted by their predecessors.
Consequently the present council
will be dissolved and the election
beld as 6tated in the foregoing."
