THE CITY COUNCIL
OFF WlTHTHE OLD, AND ON WITH
THE NEW.
|. /. Trask Is Elected to Fill Vacancy From the
Sixth Ward. Mayor West Makes Good AP.
pointments, Which Are Unanimously Con.
firmed by the Council.

The old city council met Tuesday even
ing, and, after adopting the minutes Of
the proceeding meeting, adjourned sine
die.
The new councilmen, Chas. Il. Wilson,
+. +. Jones and Geo. II. Parr. were
escorted to their seats, and Mayor West
called the new body to order. The mayor
briefly outlined his idea of the best
policy for the city authorities to pursue
during the coming year, the main points
of which we're; the Inauguration of a
sewer system, the Improvements of the
water works and economy all along the
line, especially in the matter of street
improvements where they are not public
necessities. In the matter OF imprcv'
ing on the obsolete methods of account
keeping now in use, Mayor West asked
the council to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
OF creating the office OF city auditor.
Councilman Parr resigned, on account
of having accepted the position of city
engineer, and the council proceeded to
fill the vacancy. A retition with the
names of 81 electors of the Sixth ward.
was read asking the election Of L. l..
Trask, and similar petition, with l6
signers, was on file for H. NJ. Holdings
worth, and the name OF John Lindstrom
was presented. MIR. Lndstrom declined,
and l.. L. Trask was unanimously elected
councilman from the Sixth ward, after
which the council adjourned until last
evening.
The new council took hold of business
last night in a manner that indicated a
disposition to do things. The appoint
ments of Mayor West are all good ones
and their prompt confirmation by the
council shows that body to be in harm.
ony with the mayor and his policy,
which seems to be, the best men possible
for the places and the rigid application
of business rules to the management OF
the city's affairs.
City Attorney Fox, reported delin-
quent taxes collected during October,
November and December amounting to
$1,776.1S, and that the warrant issued to
him for $500, to pay court costs had been
lost in the fire. The report was referred
to the finance committee, and the treas
urer was directed to cancel the $500
warrant.
Health officer Schumacher suggested
to the council that sewer system be
started that a general cleaning up be

A GOOD BEGINNING.

The harmony displayed at the first
meeting of the new city council last
evening was encouraging to the friends
OF good municipal government. The APP
pointments of Mayor West could have
scarcely been improved upon, and the un'
animlty with which they were confirmed
substaniiates what the HERALD said
a few weeks ago, that the council would
give the mayor q free hand and
hearty support.
The appointment of H. H. Carter as
marshal means straight business in the
police department. Mr.. Carter has a
splendid record as county sheriff ten
years ago, and is we'll equipped for the
position. His deputy J. NJ. Birmingham,
is an old resident of Aberdeen with
police experience and an erviable re-
putation for integrity, so there is god
reason to believe the city will be free
from police scandals during their adj
ministration.
The appointment OF Attorney n. w.
Bush as police Judge is good one. and
will give general satisfaction. as will the
fact that the city will now have two
courts instead of one.
The action OF the mayor and council
going to inspect the water works in a
body this morning indicates healthy
disposition to do things that is fully APP
preciated. Procrastination is just what
has put the city in its present condition,
aud action is now required, and the start
the new council has made is decidedly
encouraging.
