NEW CITY COUNCIL INSTALLED
LAST NIGHT.

duIged in by the Outgoing and
Incoming Oficials-New Years
Festivities.

Provo, Jan. 2.-Provo's first Demo-
cratic city council completed their la
bors on Saturday night last and pre-
pared to turn everything over tonight
to their Republican successors. The re-
firing council is considered by the pub
lie to have been one of the best our
city has ever had. The members have
done good service for the public and
brought credit to their party.
One of the most important transac-
tons during their last session was the
contamination of an agreement be-
tween Rhodes Bros. of Denver, and
Provo city. 1t will be remembered
that some time ago the city council
commenced action against Rhodes
Bros. for $4,000 damages for the vio-
lation of the contract in putting in
our waterworks. This suit has been
compromised and the defendants will
now keep the works in repair for two
years to come and pay all damages the
city has or may incur by reason OF
any defects in the sytem.
The members of the new city coun-
ell took their seats tonight. Ex-Mayor
Dusenberry made a neat speech, thank
ing the old council for past favors.
The incoming mayor, Mr.. Hollrock, re-
piled in the same friendly spirit.
The only business transacted was the
election of J. w. N. Whitecotton as
city attorney.
A statement was read showing the
financial condition of the city, and

cilnen and their successors sat down
