City Council Briefs A wave of laughter swept the audience at City Council Monday night when retiring Aid. Al Miller referred to "a coming change in administration" and Mayor Glen Kunkle told him smilingly: "There isn't going to be any change." Aid. Al Miller, reminding the Council that he will be replaced by a new elected to run for nomination, for mayor, instead of a'derman, and was that the decision not to put the wiring for new downtown light underground be reconsidered. Miller, who said he had voted against them, said he wanted to compliment the public utility committee on the lights but thought it would be advisable "to go further into the red" and go underground. Chairman Karl V.

Janssen of the utilities committee reminded Miller that the engineers had originally reported underground wiring would increase the cost of the lights by one-third and would make maintenance "less trouble-free." Miller persisted: "The new man will be facing a deficit Kunkle from his place on the dais interrupted: "What do you mean 'the new man'?" "This coming change of administration," Miller began, when the mayor cut him off with the cheerful assurance there would be no change. "And there will be no deficit," Kunkle added. "We have earmarked $35,000 of next year's budget to spread payment for the lights over two years. That won't put us in the red." Janssen, finance chairman, concurred in this statement. A few minutes later Kunkle left his seat and turned up by the desk of his opponent, Aid.

Robert P. Ely. "Just to show it's a good fight with no hard feelings," he told the Council and audience, shaking Ely's hand.

Neiman, the engineer engaged to survey the remaining property, to provide the legal description, has not yet furnished the report. Chairman Karl V.
