Henry Lunt. Joseph Walker [ X , his mark]. Louis R. Chaffin, and George P e r r y .

April 16, 1878.. .Councilor Duncan stated t h a t he believes he i s living outside the City, and could not act in the Council legally. The Recorder was under the same circumstances. [Louis Fischer) Moved to appoint a recorder, pro-tem. The Council considered the course to p u r s u e in regards to incorporating cities and townsites. The Mayor asked Homer Duncan if he would deed to the City certain portions of land which he claimed in his e n t r y that belong to Water Street. Homer Duncan s t a t e d his reason for making e n t r y of 40 acres lying east i n the mouth of the canyon was to secure his own p r o p e r t y , seeing the City decided not to enter said section r e f e r r e d to. He said he did not ask for anything, in his opinion, b u t what belonged to him through legal purchase given him a s Mayor of the City when the townsite was entered. He had advised the Council to e n t e r this property in connection with the r e s t of the land, b u t said the Council would not sustain him in said e n t r y . Mayor Chatterley replied t h a t he had no recollection of Hosea Stout counseling the Mayor and City Council of this City to relinquish one half of it--he was the Recorder a t the time and corresponded with Hosea Stout in connection with the e n t r y of the City.

Higbee and Surveyor John Macfarlane would not be legal, as it i s west of the mouth of the canyon. Homer Duncan voted in the negative. Recorder Fischer wished to be released, a s he still believes he is living outside of the City limits. Council decided to retain him.
