A regular meeting of the common
council was held last evening, sever
al matters of more or less importance
HAVING been disposed of. There was
more of display of humor among the
aldermen at The gathering last even
ing than has characterized any of
the il ceilings Of the present council.
The cal tuEny feature of last Right s
meeting came as climax of the read
ing OF al Invitation TO the mayor and
aldermen and the city officials TO at
tend the convention of the Wisconsin
League OF Municipalities TO be held
August q The Invitation was from
Mayor Bert Williams and was a very
urgent request for representation from
Watertown, The fact being pointed
out that NEST CT the cities IN the state
were not only being represented at
these gathering, but that the expenses
of the delegates were being met by
the cities. Aldermen Seifert started
the fun by offering a motion to the
effect that the two aldermen from the
Sixth be chosen as delegates to repre-
sent the city at the Ashland gathering
There was more fun when an amend
ment WIS offered allowing the dele
gates $1.OO per day, They to Fay their
own expenses. And there was still
more fun in the way of a cross fire
of discussion before it dawned on some
of the members of the council that
Mr.. Seifert was joking in his motion
to send himself and his colleague, AL
derman Kehr, on the little jaunt to the
lake shore. This feature of last
nights meeting took up the greater
part of the time consumed in discus
sions, while Aldermen Seifert and
Kehr were having all kinds of fun.
Mayor Mulberger offered a suggestion
that it would be policy to send repre-
sentaties to the convention who are
Gals who are liable to be in Office but
short time. The name of the mayor
was suggested, but he informed the
council that he would likely go and
that if he did he would pay his own
expenses. The motion of Alderman
Seifert having been carried, the matter
was reconsidered and it was voted to
send Street Commissioner Chaser, the
city to meet the expense and 1T being
optional for Mr. Chaser to go if he
| thought the duties OF his office would
permit.
