EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETS.
Outgoing Officers Hold a Session to
Clear the Way for Incoming.

The outgoing executive council held
a short session at the state house this
morning. This was done for the pur-
pose of giving the members of the in
coming administration a chance
to file their official bonds and
have them approved. The three
members who had not presented
their bonds yetA--did 50. They
were Attorney General L. g Boyle.
Prof. William Stryker and Treasurer D.
H Hef1ebower- The council approved
the bonds of Superintendent Stryfer
and Attorney General Boyle, but took
no action on the treasurer's bond, as
they said they did not have time to
examine it today. There will be a quo
rum of the new officers in the council,
as all have qualified, and when Mr..
Hefebower's bond is approved he will
be the treasurer
The bond which he presented is signed
by sureties who swear they will in the
aggregate stand good for $1,061, $50. and
that they are good for twice the
amount for which they signed
1t will take about week for MI
Hef1ebower to check up the accounts
and count up the cash and securities
before he will accept the office
