The city council of 1903 held meet
Ing Monday forenoon and transacted all
business matters pertaining to that
body, thus winding up the business of
the old council. Immediately after
wards the newly elected officers for the
year 1904, we're sworn in. There was
only one change. that of Mr.. j. 81.
Jones. of the second ward. The coun-
Gil then adjourned until evening at
which time the council met as board
of health.
After ordering the clerk to certify
quarantine bills to the county the ap-
pointment of new city physician
came up. DR.. Iseminger, who has
been'p physician for number of terms
was not an applicant for re-appoint-
ment, and three new names were pre-
sented. The new applications were
Drs. 81. A. Boyle, G. w. Carr, A. r.
Randall. 1t required ii ballots and
the Mayor TO make the selection, Dr.
Boyle winning out with DR. Randall
close second. The mayor cast his vote
for DR.. Boyle.
The council then met as city coun.
Gil, and proceeded to business of the
evening. The first matter taken up
was petition asking for an arc light
in the north part of town, near Mr..
Rob Robinault's place. This matter
was referred to the light committee
for investigation. Two petitions for
side walks we're also presented, one
for walk on the west side of the street
leading to the cemetery just south
of the North Western railroad, and the
other along the east side of Mr.. John
Peters property. These were also re-
terred to committee.
At this stage in the proceedings the
council took up the appointment of the
new officers for the ensuing year. The
first Office to be filled being that of
city clerk. There were two app!ica-
tions. those of E. T, Cochran and
James Walker. On the first ballot Mr..
Cochran received four votes and Mr..
Walker two. Mr.. Cochran was de-
clared elected.
For the Office of street commissioner
there were four applications. viz: A.
G. weeks. James Mcclellan. Haus
Hansen. and Noah Lingle. On the
first ballot Mr.. Weeks received three
votes, Mr.. Mcclellan two and Mr..
Lingle one. This vas kept up for IA
ballots with the exception of the vote
of Mr.. Jones. who was evidently paying
off some political debts. He kept
transferring his vote from Lingle to
Hansen until the l5 ballot when he
voted for Weeks. Mr.. Weeks was de.
clared elected.
For the Office of water collector there
was but one application. that of Mr..
James Armstrong. and he was appoint
ed by acclamation.
Mayor Carey announced his appoint
ments as follows: Marshall, j. S. Ma
loney, Assistant James Armstrong,
Night watch. L. M. Baer. These ap-
