81 thank you kindly for relieving me of
that duty. You have. l am sure, done it
with more satisfaction to yourselves than
I could possibly have done it"
i move our chairman's apology be ac-
cepted." suggested Alderman Calnon
The motion was put and carried with
a rush, Mr. Simpson being excused from
voting.
The Aldermen were elected upon a re-
form platform, and one which promised
a reduction of the city's burdens. In ac-
cordance with this agreement with the
people. Alderman Losel offered resolu-
ton reducing the salary of City Clerk
from s., 900 TO $4,000 a year, This was a
conference measure. and it passed with
a unanimous vote The action was greet
ed with cheers. There was wild dem
onstration of approval when another eco
noinical measure was presented. 1t re-
duced the salary of the City Marshal
from $1,000 to $1,000 year. 1t was adopt
ed by the entire vote of the Board.
Alderman Vermilye introduced reso-
luton providing for the appointment of
a committee of three to wait upon the
Mayor to notify him of the organization
of the Board and receive any commune
cation he might wish to send.
Mr.. Vermilye is a Republican, and his
resolution was voted down. Subsequent
ly similar resolution came from a Dem
ocratic member. 1t appointed Aldermen
Barr, Scott, Weis, Warrin and Henry on
such a committee. Mr.. Weis declined to
his successor.
Alderman Vermilye made one more eff
fort to have something to say about the
business of the Board. He offered a
resolution apportioning $500 among the
five c. A. R. Posts for the proper OBJ
servance of Decoration Day. Alderman
Calnon explained that a committee had
been created to attend to that matter.
and he saw no reason for taking the
matter out of the hands of the commits
tee The resolution was lost. Subse-
quently Alderman Decker, Republican,
tried to have a committee appointed TO
look after the G. A. r. Posts. 1t, too,
was voted down. 1t will doubtless please
the G. A. R. men and their many friends
to know that the object in opposing Re
publican interference is to allow the
Democratic committeeman to increase
the appropriation for Memorial Day OBJ
servance.
The several Posts were usually given
$40 apiece. This year they are to be
given $50 or as much more as possible.
The Board win meet next Tuesday even
ing and fix the appropriations for the
several Posts in the city.
The newly elected officials will enter
upon their duties about May 70.
