CITY OF eIcERs rWo-YEAR TERM.
New State Law Places virOqua Officials in that
Class.

| The Municipality, published at Madi'
son, calls attention TO the new statute
on the subject Of municipal offices, and
there appears to be no question but vi
| roqua comes under this head, and that
all officers to be chosen at the approach
ing municipal ELECTION will be for terms
of two years. On the subject the Munic-
ipality says: We believe tina. it is not
generally known that at the next mu-
nicipal elections the mayor aud other
elective officers, excepW aldermen, of
each city in the state are chosen for two
years. A short law passed in the closing
days of the last legislature. after several
legislators had done all they could to
kill it, confers upon the cities of the
state this partial relief from the ex-
penses and nonsense of an a6nual mu-
nicipal campaign. The law may not
materially OBJECT some cities where the
mayor ald elective officers are chosen
for two years, but in majority of the
cities the law increases the term of sew
eral city officers. The law was passed
through the efforts of friends of the
League of Wisconsin Municipalities,
and is one part of its program for uni
form biennial elections for all the cities
of the state.
