It Is the Intention to make a atudy of the document with a view to (attacking lta validity. Sixteen additional signatures were added to the petition yesterday, bringing the total to 112,010. Mr. Collier said today that Thomas !t>. Stevenson, city attorney, had misrepresented his Interest in the petition inTeatlgation. “The city council has not requested Mr. Stevenson to peruse the petition in his official capacity,” said Mr. Collier, "and Mr. Stevenson therefore is not acting officially. The remonstrance was not tddressed to the mayor and common feuncll, as Mr. Stevenson publicly anI aonneed. but is addressed to the coniI mon council, solely. I Stevenson has the same right as any other citizen to look into this matter, but we wish It made clear that when he has this petlton in his possession it is In the hands of Its enemies. Any extravagent statements concerning the appearance of this petition that Mr. Stevenson may make should be considered as the utterance of an active and prejudiced partisan, Interested in deprivng the people of a voice and not of a conaclentious public official.” Both sides in the plaza controversy were preparing today for a vigorous campaign. It is believed that the question will be submitted to the voters at the constitutional election Sept. 6. or the regular November 3 city election. Supporters of Samuel Lewis Shank, republican nominee for mayor, were apprehensive lest the Jewett crowd should attempt to force the Issue upon the city election as a means of causing embarrassment to Mr. Shank. W. G. Miller and t . IV. Miller, who directed the campaign of remonstrance, said today that many offers of assistance for the coming campaign had been received.
