a harmonious Meeting OF this Com
mittcc He'll Last Night, and the De-
sire orSomc councilmen to get on
Certain Committees was More or
Less Gratiied : List Of the new
Committees.

The several council committees that
are TO serve for the ensuing two years
were selected last night ut n meeting
of the committee on committees. This
committee. which is the whole thing,
only meets bl-ennialiy and It's repor;
will be submitted at the next meeting
Of council for confirmation by that body.
The session last night was the soul OF
harmony, each member getting what he
asked for without question.
The committee consisted Of council
man from each ward. as follows: Fox,
First: Kindelberger. Second; VI. a.
Chew. Third; Schmidt, Fourth; Bach
mann. Fifth: Watson. Sixth: Bradbury,
Seventh; Williams, Eighth. Four were
first branch members and four from the
second. The political complexion was
six Republicans to two Democrats, the
latter being Messrs. Schmidt and Wat

and Clerk o'BrIcn handled the quill.

and an equal number from each branch
on any committee of eight. This ordin-

member on more committees than MS
colleagues from the kindergarten.
and It consequently kept the committee
busy last night working in the second
branchers. a few councilmen were anX-
ious to be properly placed, and they
were present in the corridors outside of
the committee room. Their anxiety, II
taken as n fair Indication, promises well
attended committee meetings. but the
contrary oft proves true. Every new
council! begins with Il rush to get on
certain committees, and few months
later II is difficult 10 secure quorum.
The committee that offers financial in
ducementS IL the committee on ac-
counts, which meets thirteen times a
year. and the members are paid 50 each
for meeting. The committee on equal
izution and appeals pays s. a day for
ten days services. II meets after the
city assessment is made.

mittees began Mr.. Watson expressed
