The following petitions were referred:
Alma c. Anderson, compensation for

against the location of a sidewalk on the
north side Of Catherine street from pres
ent walk to Rodney street.
Notices Of suits brought against the
city by Clarence E Anderson, F. H.
Dewey, Daniel Edwards, George ].
Marshall and Frederick A. Mann, guar
dian of George w. Mann, were referred
to the city solicitor.
Orders were adopted as follows: In
structing the city clerk to have printed
400 copies of the manual Of the city
council; authorizing the mayor to have
printed 1900 copies of the annual city
document; instrucdng the city auditor
to procure a sufficient number of city

the city council and the heads of depart
ments; authorizing the several joint
committees of the city council to resume
all unfinished business that was referred
to them in 1897
CITY OFFICIALS ELECTED.
Under the new charter, the city off,
Gals were elected by concurrent vote,
the board of aldermen acting first, with
the exception of a member of the board
of assessors to succeed Thomas Talbot.
In this case, the board of aldermen cleo
ted George B. Hurlburt by a vote of 5
to for Thomas Talbot, and the common
council elected Mr.. Talbot by vote Of
16 to for Nicholas j. Mooney and 1 for
Mr.. Hurlburt
When the election reached the COM
mon council for concurrence, Council
man O'Connell made an appeal for a
representative of the minority party on

that after a years experience in the
chair, feel acquainted with it's duties,
and fully appreciate its responsibilities.
Progress is the watchword of the mod
ern municipality. Worcester, with
100000 population, must be a leader in
the march Of cities as 1t is already a
leader in thought, science, the arts.
manufacturing and contentment among
its people. Our bonded duty is to so
govern this city that she shall become
a model for other cities to follow; deal
literally, yet with an eye to prudence,
with her finances; buy the best and
build with an idea of permanency. The
people demand only value received, and
not parsimonious economy. With a mu-
tual desire to perform our whole duty,
thinking Of the historic past and know
ing the possibilities of the expanding
future, will you join with me to make
the work of the common council of 1898
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-04
in BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Several Elections Postponed = Special
Police enpolntments Confirmed

several Elections Postponed - Special
Police appointments Confirmed
The annual reports of the superintend-
ent Of public buildings and city auditor
were received. and laid upon the table.
Alderman o'Connell expressed his opin-
ion that the reports should have been
submitted at the final meeting of the
city council of 1897 He wanted the
documents laid on the table until the
ordinances were examined relative to
this point This action was taken.
A communication was received from
the clerk of the board of fire engineers,
relative to the changes in the fire de-
partment. The appointments by the
board Of engineers were confirmed with
the exception of James H. Madden as a
permanent member of Hose O. AS Mr..
Madden was above the age limit, it was
necessary to suspend the rules in his
case. This was done, and the nominal
ton was then confirmed.
When the election of a superintendent
of public buildings came before the
board, Alderman OConnell asked for a
postponement. He wanted little time
to look over the report of the superin-
tendent, and intmated that things had
run rather roughly during the past
year in this department. He asked that
the election of a superintendent of pub
lie buildings be postponed until the
next meeting of the board. This action
prevailed. The same action was taken
relative to the election of an assistant
superintendent of pubic buildings.
Alderman Mellen asked for a post
ponement Of the election of an assistant
street commissioner. He was in favor
Of another man for the place. but
wanted time to look into the matter, /
AS the council had voted for a change
in the chief of the department, 1t
might be well to make a change in the
assistant chief He therefore asked that
the election of the assistant he
postponed until the next meeting. The
matter was postponed. Mr. Mellen was
in favor of the election of John e. Gall
lagher as assistant street commissioner.
Mr.. Gallaglfer's candidacy was an
nounced TO every member Of the board
by circulars giving a short sketch OF
the life Of the candidate. Mr.. Gallagher
is a well known engineer, and for some

the board and placed in nomination
Nicholas ]. Mooney, who, he said, was
qualified to fill the place in every way,
and who would introduce new methods
into the board. He referred to the
present dissatisfaction with the work of
the assessors, and said the complaint
was largely against Mr. Talbot. Mr..
Otis was a faithful and efficient asses
sor, and meant to DO his work well, but
he was hampered by a milestone which
the council had hung about his neck,
and if the majority of the members per-
sisted in voting for Mr.. Talbot, there
would be no change for another three
years The ballot was then taken with
the result as stated and the election was
thrown into Joint convention, and Mr..
Hurlburt was elected by q vote of 10
to 10 for Mr.. Talbot. This made to-
tai of So votes, and as the convention
was entitled to cast SO ballots, there was
some wonderment regarding what be-
came of the 33d ballot until later in the
evening, after a few more cflicials were
elected, when it was found in corner
in the ballot box 1t was for Mr.. Talbot,
but 1t did not change the result.

elected was the city solicitor. The alder

the other ballot bearing the name Of
John Whalen.
City Engineer Mcclure also received a
unanimous vote in the upper board, and
he received % votes in the common
council, the other two ballots which
We're cast being blanks.
When the election of a street commits
sioner was in order, Alderman Hildreth
informed the board Of aldermen that
Lucian B. Stone was not a candidate
for reelection, and then Wright S..
Prior was unanimously elected, getting
all Of the nine votes. When the cleo

council concurred in the election of DR..

The election of Albert Curtis as a COM
missioner of the Jacques fund and other
funds Of the City Hospital. was con-
Cured in without a dissenting vote.
When the reappointment of Charles

nounced, the members Of the lower

Orders were adopted in concurrence.

der, and it resulted in little joke at
the expense of Councilman James Hunt
He said that it was very likely that the
counSil would be in the present city hall
but few weeks, and it would not make
much difference where the members sat
until they moved into the new city
hall. He therefore moved that the
members occupy the seats they had last
year until they moved. Councilman
Williamson seconded the motion to
bring it before the house, and then he
and Councilman Sanford C. Kendall OPP
posed its adoption, and the motion was
defeated by vote of 10 to 8.
Then came the fun. Seats % and "a

pulled out a number for Councilman
James Hunt, it was "a, and a merry
shout went up from all the members

Councilman Riyard got the end seat on
the other side of the chamber.
When the members had taken posses

increased very materially during his
