FEW CHANGES ARE MADE
Mayor Harrington Presents His
List of Appointments.
THE GREATEST SURPRISE
Substitution OF w. J. Kennedy for j. d.
jerks as Building Inspector-A New
Inspector for Weights How
the Police Force Stands.

There was an air OF suppressed ex-
element around the city hall last
evening. The council chamber was
crowded with people who wanted to see
who the new policemen were to be and
the other appointees. and there was a
restless air among the aldermen. Dur
ing the routine proceedings there was
whispered conferences between some of
the aldermen. The talk was that there
would be some objection to the changes
the mayor would make and some other
objection because he did not see fit to
make more changes.
As a matter of fact, however, the
mayor kept his own counse and IL Is
doubtful If any one knew just what he
was going To do. Very few changes
were made after all. The greatest sur
prise. perhaps, was the substitution of
w. J. Kennedy for j. ID. jerks as build
ing inspector. Another change was the
substitution of X. J.. Walker for Joseph
Dorais as inspector OF weights and
measures. Besides these two substi-
tutions the only changes were three
policemen.
The appointments did not come up
until late In the evening. The mayor
gave the list of appointments as fol-
lows:

When the reading of the appoint
ments was concluded Alderman Mel
cher moved that i'm order that the aid
ermen might have time to consider the
appointments that the vote on confir-
NATION be postponed until the next
meeting. This was seconded by Alder
man Siebenales and carried.
L The N voted to advertise for
bids for paving, catch basins and curb
ipg, the bids to be in by s p. m. June l..
ON motion of Alderman Page the coun-
ell voted that no contractors shall do
work for the city who board their work
ingmen in tents or boarding houses or
who pay their men. in whole or in part,
i'm board, and requiring contractors to
employ no men who AVE not lived one
year in the city and to recognize home
people and home industries as much as
possible. a resolution was also adopt
ed directing the city attorney to draw
up an ordinance declaring the dense
black smoke a nuisance and providing
for its suppression.
The mayor vetoed both the building
and the new fire limit ordinances. He
said: The changes sough to be at
tanned can be made by the introduction
of a council bill containing the amend
ments to ordinance 27S. now included i'm
this bill. | am reliably informed that
the cost of publication of the building
ordinance would be S75 to $50. which
amount of expense seems to me un-
necessary to accomplish the requisite
changes. The new hre district bill
embraces territory upon which substan-
tiaL and fire proof building must be
erected. thereby imposing an outlay of
money for such buildings far in excess
of the returns to be desired. as the
greater part Of the additional territory
is now occupied for residences and
small business houses. The present fire
limits of district No. I, as provided by
the ordinance No. 1876. afford sufficient
safeguard to the business interests Of
the city"
The council sustained the veto. The
report of the sewer committee was taxi
en- up in sections. Alderman Medin
made "A strong talk i'm favor of the Mis-
soula gulch culvert. but the culvert was
defeated by this vote: Ayes. Cannon,
Enowlton. L%jubibratich, Medin. Pas
coe-5: noes. Bowman. Britt. Bryant.
