The election Of city officers by the new
council last night was attended by the
largest crowd which has been in the
city exchange in years. Before o'clock
all 1ala
been filled. and people who came after
that hour had to fight their way in or
stand on the outside. 1t was a Citizens
Club crowd almost entirely and very
noisy and demonstrative crowd, though
mostly good humored. 1t had a good.
long wait The aldermen arrived early,
but remained closeted in the mayors
Office for over two hours.
The understanding was that the selec-
ton for city officers would be made in
caucus in order that the public action of
the board might be unanimous Consid-
cradle time is believed to have been spent
by the board in discussing the question of
the city attorneyship. upon which they
did not succeed in coming to an agree
ment. City officials, reporters. candidates
and politicians filled the clerks office
and discussed the prospects of the cleo
ton.
1t was after o'clock when the doors
OF the long room were thrown open and
the council entered araid the applause of
the crowd. 1t was with difficulty that
the police opened a lane wide enough
for the aldermen to reach their seats
and the reporters and others, who took
the precaution Of following in the wake
of the councilmen had a hard scramble
TO keep from being cut of. 1t was
regular foot ball rush. As soon as the
mayors office was opened the crowd
filled that room also, and even then
everybody could not get in. The police
could not handle the crowd as it was
so dense that they could not get at the au-
4hors Of the frequent disturbances.
The first business of the new council
was the adoption Of the following ordi-
nance changing the ordinances
regulating the appointment Of
sergeants and privates of the police
force and the government force. 1t was
introduced by Alderman Screven and en-
larges the power of the mayor in the
government Of the force:
An ordinance TO repeal so much OF an
ordinance, passed November %, 1881 as
provides for the appointment of Ser
geants Of Police. and 10 repeal so much
Of the ordinance, passed January g. 1860.
and May "a, 1871, as provides for the an
pointnnent Of privates OF police. and TO re-
peal section So of MacDonelTs code re-
quiring policemen to be tired in the DO
lice court for breach Of good order dis
cirline, etc.
Section L BE it ordained by the mayor
and aldermen Of the city of Savannah in
council assembled, That such portions of
the above recited ordinances and contained
in sections 149, 3l8 and 80 of MacDonelFs
code are hereby repealed. and the follow
ing substituted therefor: The Sergeants
of the police force Of the city Of Savan-
nah shall be appointed by the mayor Of the
city of Savannah on the recommendation
OF the chief Of police, subject to the ap-
prevail Of council, and shall hold their of
fee during good behavior and capacity
to discharge the duties Of their Office: pro
vided, nevertheless. that the mayor Of
the city may al any time IN his discretion
discharge any Of the said sergeants when
ever in his opinion such discharge is re-
quired by the public good, but the said
