CITY engineer
F, kUPP REFLECTED
Unanimously Chosen at Joint Meet
ing of Councils-His Efficiency
Publicly Attested.

T.. Il. Kupp,. whose term of office has
inst expired, was last night unanimous
" reelected city engineer of Carbon
dale.
In connection with his being returned
to office, Mr.. Kupp was given IL tlatter-
ine testimonial by the cOuncilmen.
Though only the councilman. DIR.
Fletcher. who placed him in nominal
ton, took occasion to speak of his eftl-
cheney. yet every one of the seventeen
councilmen silently approved of the
speakers words, and would gladly en-
dorse, orally, what DIR. Fletcher said If
there was the oportunity, for no city
engineer of Carbondale, it can be safely
said, has earned the appreciation and
esteem of councils as has MIR. Kupp.
When councils came together after
the separate sessions, Chairman Davis,
of select council. was called upon to
preside. When the nominations for city
engineer We're called for. DR.. Fletcher,
of select, arose and. in presenting Mr.
Kupp's name, said:
MI. Chairman. take great pleasure
in presenting the name of F. +. Kupp
who has proven so faithful in the past" :"
Nlf. NealOl, OIL common cOullcii, STU
onded the nomination.
AS indicated in The Tribune yester-
day, there was no opposition TO Mr..
l<upp. The roll-call was proceeded with,
all of the seventeen members present,
Mr. Cook. of common council, being the
only absentee, recording their vote for
him.
When the vote was recorded and Mr..
Kupp'S reelection was announced, MI
Pugliano, of common. raised the call
for the engineer amid the hearty ap-
y.pause of the members on both sides Of
the house. The cry grew until 1t
reached MIR. Kupp, who was in his office
: down the corridor. IN Il minute he
came into select council chamber and
bowed his Acknowledgements. The coun-
acimen, however. insisted on some sort
: of speech. AS was proven at the BAN
..nuet of Monday night last, Mr.. Kupp
'is a happy taller when called upon to
respond TO n toast, but on this occa-
a sion he seemed overwhelmed with the
tkindly feeling of councils. In II very
. few words, the earnestness of which in
dlcated his feeling of gratitude, Mr.
.kupp said that he hoped he would do
4 nothing during his term which would
make councils fee! sorry for their ac-
ftion. i've worked to the best of my
: ability" he continued, ito do the work
, of the city and will continue to do so
TdurinS the next three years. 7 ask your
sco-operation, and feel that If we work
, together. in harmony, everything will
be all right" More applause and con-
psratulations followed his utterances.
! The confidence which councils en-
pressed in Mi. Kupp by re-electing him
was earned during his last term. He
/, has been one of the most painstakins
of city officials and above all. when the
1 emergency arose he pitched into the
work and labored the same as the low
est eWploye on the street department
ilpay rolls. This devotion to his duties
could not but he recognized and an
preciated by his reelection. Mr.. Kupp's
commences his second term with the
utmost good will of councils and the
citizens at large.
1t can be said that there will he no
change in the forces under Mr.. Kupp.
Street Foreman John I[illeen has like
wise earned his re-appointment. being
most valuable ally of Mr. Kupp and,
perhaps. thesmost efficient foreman that
the city has.eyer had,
