The reading of the appointments in
the councilmanic meeting was marked
by no special incidents, but when in the
aldarmanic meeting City Clerk Norris
had finished reading the list of appoint
ments made by President Conway of
that board Alderman and former Police
Commissioner Eugene r. Hubbard of
the Sixth ward arose and declined to
serve on the three committees to which
he had been appointed These three COM
mittees were claims, lamps and bath
houses, Of which the committee on lamps
and street lighting Is the only one con-
sidered Of any Importance, and even
that not to compare with streets, rail-
roads and bridges, or appropriations at
the present time when so many appro-
priatons for street paving are to be
made. Alderman Hubbard positively |
declined to accept the appointments and |
at the request Of President Conway the |
board took q recess for five minutes to |
enable him 70 arrange appointments to |
fill the vacancies caused by the declina- !
ton OF Mr.. Hubbard.
AT the end &C ten minutes the board |
was called to order again and Alderman |
Hall, having inquired if there was any !
business on the table. and being inform |,
I'd in the negative, moved to adjourn. |
Alderman Beecher of the Seventh ward |
asked If committee appointments to fill |
the vacancies were not to be announced. |,
President Conway said that they were,

Alderman Beecher after the meeting |
The meeting then adjourned and Presi-

ion was probably made When asked
alter when he would appoint to fill the
Mr.. Conway said that he
would announce the appointments at
he next meeting.
