THE OLD AND the NEW
The Old trustees Surrender
Their Trust to Their Sue
CessOrs, Clark, Heis-
Ter and Voorhees,
Town Officers Appointed


An adjourned meeting of the town
council was held last Saturday even
ing at which time the business of the
past year was entirely finished and
Trustees Kendrick. Ennen and Yewell
surrendered their stewardship and re-
tired gracefully from the board. The
reports of the clerk and treasurer
showed most encouraging financial
condition all things considered for
although the receipts of the town were
less than the year previous the hold
over members previous to their cleo
tion had promised the people an eco
nomical administration and they have
kept their word in this as in all other
pre- election pledges and therefore the
expenditures have also been less than
in preceding years. The annual re-
ports of all officers were approved and
a number of bills including those for
election expenses were presented and
allowed.
Trustee Keck offered a resolution
to the outgoing mbers for their
courtesy during the past year AS
parting shot and as if to make the
motion seem ridiculous Trustee
George Kendrick offered the following
resolution;
Resolved, That the clerk be and is
hereby instructed to communicate
with the Glenwood Light and Water
company and ascertain, if posi- BILE:
First-What they will take for
their entire plant, complete.
Second What they will take for
that portion of their plant situated on
the south side of the Grand river
in the Town of Glenwood Springs
Third What they will take for
the mains, pipes etc, used in connec-
tion with the water service on the
south side of the Grand river.
Fourth-Wnat rental they will pay
the town of Glenwood Springs for the
use of the water from Grizzly creek
Springs.
Trustee Keck promptly moved that
the resolution be referred to the in
coming council. Trustee Kendrick
said he wanted the resolution acted
on by the present board and he voted
against Keck' 8 motion as did Ennen
and Yewell. Parkison. Keck and
Crook supported the motion, Mr..
Parkison accompanying his vote by
an explanation saying he considered 1t
in very poor taste for Mr.. Kendrick to
spring such resolution as his last
official act especially as he had pre-
viously expressed his opposition to any
negotiations with the company of any
sort or character. This was center
shot against Kendrick who is one of
the trio which refused to allow the
clerk to even answer the comnunica-
tion recently received from the com
pany proposing reduction in rates
The vote on the resolution being tie
no further action was taken and after
approving the minutes the board ad
journed sine die.
Mayor elect Dougan and the newly
elected trustees Clark, Heisler and
Voorhees, were sworn in by Justice
Clark and business was begun by the
new board.
Ollie Thorson was nominated fol
town treasurer and was elected by
unanimous vote. By the same unan
imous ballot A. j Dickson was Sc
lected as clerk and recorder; Charles
W. Taylor attorney; r. P. Malaby,
marshal and street commi ssi oner; c.
V. Messick night policeman; w. b.
Trumbor, engineer; w. NJ. Witten,
police magistrate and J. B. Shaw,
scavenger These officials soop filed
their bonds and the oath of Office was
administered and the new board was
soon transacting business.
Trustees Parkison and Keck were
re-appointed Mayor pro tenn and Clerk
pro tenn respectively.
On motion of Trustee Clark the
Street and Alley committee was given
power to act without waiting for
meeting of the council.
