COUNCIL SWORN IN
NEW MEMBER TAKES SEAT IN
BLOOMFIELD.
Meeting of Aldermen Held, at Which
an Organization Is Effected-com.
promise Effected on Selection of
Clerk and Street Commissioner.

Bloomfield, April S.--The city coun-
Gil met and organized Monday evening
for the ensuing year. Those present
were: w. w. Wishard, mayor; Fl. L..
Cook, ]. H. McCuiston. A. York. w. W..
Rawlings, @. e, Young and Lee Bar
hickman councilmen and G. F. Davis,
clerk. A. York, and G. e. Young who
wero elected to succeed themselves,
were sworn in and G. E. Curl, who is
new member. also took the oath OF
office. H. l.. Cook, being the retiring
member The election of clerk and
street commissioner resulted in the Sc
lection of B. F. Redmon as clerk and
Will Brown as street commissioner
Several ballots We're required to select
on account of the fact that the coun-
Gil stands equally divided politically,
there being three democrats and three
republicans, while the mayor is also
republican. The democratic members
realizing that if they all voted for any
one candidate and the republicans
cast their entire vote for another can
didate, there would be tie and the
mayor would be allowed to cast the tie
which would place both Offices in the
hands of the republicans. The demo-
cratic members therefore avoided a
tie hoping to effect compromise
which was the final result, so that the
clerk is d republican and the street
commissioner a democrat.
