AIR WAITE MADE PRESIDENT OF fHE ALDERMEN
"FATrYD WALSH TAKES MR. KIRK's PLACE.
The Aldermen acted more like schoOlboys than
grave City Fathers yesterday. 1t began with a
Wrangle as to who should be president OF the Board
Alderman Waite elected to preside at the meet
ing Oh Wednesday in the absence OF President Kirk
inst before o'clock, the hour named for calling
the Board to ORDER Mr.. Waite slipped into the
presidents chair, apparently cutting off Adoph L.
Sanger, Who was elected president at the November
election. Mr.. Sanger took chair beside his more
bulky and successful competitor. Mr.. Kirk, when
he became Mayor, gave up all claim to the office Of
president of the Board.
Mr. O'Neil said there seemed to be some doubt
o. to who president of the Board. There were
spparo " two presidents present Messrs. Grant
OConnor and Others addressed the clerk, refusing
20 recognize Mr.. Waite as president. Several de-
clared that the election of Mr.. Waite only held
good at the previous meeting Mr.. OConnor said
that the Board must proceed to elect president
pro tenn. Mr. Waite did not insist on his right to
preside. and directed the clerk to call the roll and
Gee whether quorum was present. Clerk rwomey
did so and then Mr.. Grant moved that MIR. O'Connor
be made temporary chairman. Mr.. Jachne moved
rs amendment that Mr.. Waite be chosen. After
considerable wranging, Mr. Waite was chosen by
vote of IL to 5.
Mr. Clcary next moved that Mr. Waite be made
permanent chairman. This opened up the lentire
matter afresh Several cited cases where the pres
ident Of the Board had acted as Mayor
and afterward returned and assumed his position
in the Board. Reply was made to this that the oath
had not been administered as was the case with
Mr.. Kirk. Mr.. 0Connor suggested that they could
get out of the difficulty by electing vice-presI-
dent. as they could do under the new law. Chair
man Waite said that he did not think that would
apply to the present Board
