THE MAYORS INAUGURAL
THE NEW COUNCIL TO BE SWORN
IN AT NOON TO-DAY.

The Administrations Policy in the
Makeup of the Committees-The
Chairmanships to Be Left as Far as
Possible in the Same Hands That
They Are Now In-Gossip About the
New Appointments.
1t will be off with the old and on with
the new to-day. At noon by the city ex-
change clock, Judge Harden of the city
court will administer the oath Of office, in
the "long ROOM" to Mayor-elect Maj John
Schwarz and the new board of aldermen,
viz; Messrs. Herman Myers, John J. Nc
Donough, w. f. Reid, David Wells, George
]. Mills, George y. Nichols DR.. L. A. Falli-
giant. E. A. Smith, K. +. Harman, DR.. Z.
B Harris. w. 2. Bailey and w. g. Cam.
After the oath Of Office has been admin
istered Mayor Schwarz, in cOntOrmance
with long established custom, will an
nounce the standing committees Of council.
1t is generally understood among the know
ing ones that in order to facilitate the bust
ness of that branch Of the city government,
Mai. Schwarz is inclined TO leave the chair
manships of the standing committees Of
council as far as possible in the same hands,
where members Of the old board have been
reelected, as their experience will enable
the old members to continue TO conduct the
routine business Of their departments as If
no interruption had interviewed
THE NEW COMMITTEES.
Major Schwarz was seen last night but
he was not inclined to deviate from the
custom Of his predecessors and anticipate
the status of his committees but if the pol
icy outlined above is adhered to the old
members will have the following chairman
ships:
FINANCE Chairman council, Herman
Myers.
Accounts-Geo. J. Mills
Harbor and Wharves-J. J. McDonough.
Market-W. f. Reid.
Pohce-Geo. n. Nichols,
Water-David Wells.
This will leave six new members yet I'M
provided with a craftsmanship, and there
are various coniectures as to how they will
be distributed. The impression, however,
is that r. F. Harmon will be appointed
chairman of the street and lane committee,
although the name of Alderman Wells has
been used IN connection with the place up
to a late hour last night. DR.. Harris will
probably be chairman Of the health and
cemetery committee, and Messrs Fal-
ligant and Harris are also expected
to be placed on the board of sani-
tary commissioners. Dr. Falligant
doubtless expects to be given the chairman.
ship of the drainage committee Il. A. Smith
is mentioned for the craftsmanship of the
assessment committee, aud w. p. Bailey on
fire. If this should be the makeup Of the
craftsmanship, W. e. Cam would get the
other Craftsmanship, which is city lots.
SOME CHANGES POSSIBLE.
1t was rumored last night that Major
Scwarz has his committees all made up, but
that they are likely to be revised and un-
dergo changes before the final announce
ment at noon to-day However, it is be-
lieved that there will not be any radical
changes from the heads of committees as
given above.
Major Schwarz said to a MORNING
News reporter last night that he has no
intention Of resigning the office of major
of the regiment, and he expects to be on
parade with the command this afternoon.
He says that in his administration of the
Office of mayor it will be his aim to so CON
duct the office as to advance the interests of
all, and minister to the progress of the city
where he is as much interested in the general
prosperity as the proudest or the humblest
of It's citizens.
Maj. Schwarz will entertain the board Of
aldermen and friends at his residence to-
night and a serenade, with short speeches,
will be on the programme.
