LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, Dec. 15.-(Regular
Coresponderce) The new council met
at the old council chambers on Tuesday
night. were sworn in, organized and the
new city given a boost on its road to
prosperity. The meeting was called TO
order by w. P. Wilson, former city
trustee. when Trustee Hart moved that
they organize by electing as president or
the board c. F. A. Johnson, which mo-
ton prevailed, the vote being unani-
nous.
Mr.. johnson, in returning thanks Tor
the honor conferred, took occasion to
call the attention of the board to the
urgent necessity of at once taking meas
ures for the preservation of the wharf,
which. by reason of city disncorpora-
ton, had been so long neglected. The
streets also, he said, demanded immedi-
ate attention, and he urged the utmost
economy compatible with good work in
the city's expenditures. In conclusion,
he stated it would be advisable to have
a city attorney, and called for nomina-
tions. Trustee Hart named E. c. DEMO,
and there being no opposition, Mr.. DEMO
was declared elected. The different COM
mittees were appointed, after which the
amount of bonds for marshal, city clerk
and treasurer were placed at the fol-
lowing figures: Marshal, $500; clerk,
$4,000; treasurer, $4,000. The bonds of
the above officials under the old regime
were: Treasurer, 10000; clerk. $4,000;
marshal, $4,000. 1t will be seen that the
bond of the treasurer has been raised
s500O while that of the marshal has
been reduced one-half. The marshal is
also assessor and handles all the city
revenue, taxes, licenses, ETC., with bonds
placed as above stated, while the bond
of the clerk, who handles none Of the
city's finances, is kept at $5O00
The amount of bond to be furnished
by treasurer, $4,000, if kept at that fig
ure, will debar the majority of poor men,
no matter how honest or capable they
may be- from qualifying if elected to
that office.
Other bushes stransacted by the board
before adjournment was the election of
Judge w. S. Rosecrans to the Office OF
city recorder and the authorization OF
