The new sanitary board met at noon.
The present sanitary regulations were dis
cusscd and measure suggested for addi-
uoual safeguards, but no business was
transacted. The meeting was merely for
the purpose Of getting the board together
ana giving the members an idea Of the
work before them. The new board viii

Mr.. +. Il. Robarer. the retiring clerk
OF council, leaves his successor q record
for efficiency and ability in the discharge
of his duties which viii be hard TO excel
or equal. Mr. Rebarer entered the Office
Of clerk of council twenty-seven years
ago in subordinate position, and by
gradual promotion rose 90 the office of
clerk. which he has filed for nearly
twenty years. Mr. Rebarer's knowledge
of the city's affairs and his thorough
grasp upon his work in every detail
proved Of invaluable service TO every
council with which he served. His thor
ough familiarity with the ordinances Of
the city and the rules Of every depart
ment was well known and his opinion
upon such matters was accepted as in
faiible almost He has saved many al
dormen and mayors also from serious
mistakes I'm their official careers by his
knowledge of the city's affairs. He was
often able to direct the proper course in
q doubtful matter, and il was this doubt
less that caused him to be frequently
accused of being the power behind the
throne. II was Mr.. Rebarers familiarity
with all the details of the citys bust
ness that caused many people, without re-
gard to faction, to nope that he would
be retained By the new board because
of the assistance he might be in giving
Information to the board. composed as
it is almost entirely Of new material.
Mr.. RebaIer certainly has reason to be
proud OF the record he has made in office.
Capt. James Manning, the retiring SUI
perintendent of water works, is one Of
the best men who ever filled such a po-
sition in Savannah or anywhere else.
His management of the water works has
been all that could be asked, and the
condition of the building and grounds
is something that attracts the admiration
of all who visit the place.
The next few days win be busy ones with
all of the new officials. All Of the depart
ments have more or less patronage to
distribute, but IL will be done with a
view to the best interests of the city

interests and these will be made adj

The new council will meet tonight.
The cry of the partisan was heard
all day. 1t was not the cry
of the victorious partisan which filled
the air only short while before, but
the cry of the disappointed partisan who
wanted Office and didn't get it. Tho
amount of kicking was some
thing astonishing. They trouble evil

Offices. Some of the defeated candidates
We're among the loudest kickcrs, and
men that fought Mayor McDonough for
four years and did everything they could
10 elect Mr.. Myers declared publicly yes
terday that they wished the election was
to go over again and that McDonough
was a candidate so that they could vote
for him. Some of the aldermen remarked
to Mayor Myers that they thought the
abuse was entirely uncalled for. Mayor
Myers being veteran in municipal af-
fairs. took things philosophically and in
formed the new aldermen that these
things were to be expected and that
il was one Of the privileges of the great
American public to abuse it's servants,
especially aldermen.
The sorest point with many of the Cit
liens Club people, and especially the
leaders, was the reelection of Mr.. S. b.

things were said by them of the aldermen

The defeat of Mr. George Mouro as
assistant chief of the fire department
seems to have caused more general re-
gret among all classes than almost any
other OF the defeated officials. Mr..
Mouros friends are not con-
fined to any one political fac
