cause have evidence in my pocket against
-sixty-ive OF the places where liquor
has been sold without license.
As far as high license is concerned 1 have
this to say. IL is in the power OF your honor
ablo body TO keep IL at the limit where it is
now. A few years ago at a conference of
representatives OF the two great parties in
this city the liquor license was fixed at 500.
The only objection have TO high license is
the fact that IL does not accomplish what is
claimed for it-a reduction OF the amount OF
liquor consumed. 1t makes u monopoly of
the traffic in favor OF capital. crowding the
poor man TO the wall, and builds up q class Of
law-breakers who sell their suffrage to the
party in power IL IL will wink ut the hypocrisy
and deception used. There are many things,
gentlemen, 10 which l desire 10 call your at
tention, but L Will leave them to future per-
sonal consultations or Official communica-
tons. take this occasion TO express the
hope that the council will deal gently with the
incoming executive who comes fresh from
the people. As in the past the police and
fire departments shall become subjects of
watchful care to me, and trust your hunora-
BILE body will use your best eudeavors to place
both OF them under the most rigid discipline
and aid the officers in bringing them up TO
point in efficiency second TO no others in the
country.
In conclusion, gentlemen, desire to ex-
press the hope that the relations that should
exist between the legislative and executive
branches of the great city may prove as
pleasant and profitable as the people who
sent us here may desire. l feel that the
present city council has but one desire. and
that is that the will OF the people shall be
fully carried out and in this, rs in all other
matters where their interests are at stake,
promise you my hearty cooperation"
AT the conclusion of the address a recess
of fifteen minutes was had. Being called
to order again, the following cOmmunica-
ton was read:
THE MAYORS APPOINTMENTS.
thereby appoint Miles q. Chase as chief of
Police, 10 rank as colonel of police; Charles
X. Hill as lieutenant colonel OF police; John
Landberg as major OF police and J. E. Ward

their confirmation ut your hands at this ses-
sion OF your honorable body, in order that
may have their assistance in reOrganizing the
police force OF the city. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant
A. A. AMEs, Mayor.
AID. johnson did not wish to seem dis
courteous, yet he thought it best that the
appointments should be referred to the COM
mittee on police. Upon a roll call the
motion of Aid. johnson TO the above effect
was carried by a straight party vote.
A motion to proceed to an election of
officers prevailed, and Aid. EichhOrn moved
that informal ballots be first taken.
Aid. Clark move to amend that the first
ballot be formal.
Aid. Johnson-I second the amendment
Aid Eichhorn-This is scarcely regular. 1t
has always been the custom of this body to
first take informal ballots, and in justice TO
the minority, the custom should be observed
now.
Aid. Sly accorded the right of the Demo-
Gratis TO have an informal ballot and in a
short speech stated he should vote for Aid,
EichhOrn's motion. The "slate" being
broken, Aid. Clark withdrew the amend
ment, and the original motion obtained.
The ballot for city physician resulted as
