These are the offices Of the city as
named by the new Council at its
meeting on Monday evening. The
matter of electing the officials was the
frst matter taken up by the Council
aud the election Of Alderman Allie
man came as a surprise to the Coun-
Gil. Just how the matter was ar
ranged has not been made public, but
Alderman Alleman has the honor of
being the first Republican selected
as president of the Council in some
time.
The fight over the selection Of
street commissioners was settled by
the.addition of another commissioners
for the West Side, and Michael
choice Of the Council for this posi-
ton. John Mcconnell had notrouble
in getting fifteen votes to retain his
present position. Hermann had a
close pull, but he mustered nine votes
on the first ballot and was declared
elected. The other appointments
were made without objection.
City Attorney Slater was the only
candidate for that Office, and after
the salary had been raised to ST., 900 a
year, the Clerk Mas Instructed to cast
the ballot.
Cemetery Contract Approved
The contract for the care Of the
City Cemetery by the Kenosha Gem
etery Association was approved by
the Council by unanimous vote, al
most without debate. The contract
provides that the Association shall
take all care of the cemetery without
cost to the city save the fee of So, SOC
year for period of ten years. AT
the end of this period the Association
assumes the liability of perpetual
care. The land is not decided to the
Association, and it is understood that
all of the money appropriated shall be
used for cemetery purposes. The
contract provides that the Associa.
ton shall at once begin the work OF
identifying the cemetery, erecting
the fence and caring for the streets
and by-paths. In order to make the
work possible the city took $3.50
from the contingent fund and placed
it in special fund to meet the first
payment to the Association.
To Limit Saloon Extension
The Council put itself on record as
being in favor of limiting the further
extension of saloons and the applica-
tions for new licenses as well as the
question of extending saloon districts
was laid over till the next meeting.
1t was formally announced that an
ordinance was being prepared for the
purpose of limiting the number OF
saloons licenses to be issued. The
number of people for each saloon has
not as yet been determined, but it is
pretty certain that the number OF
saloons now licensed will more than
fill up the whole quota.
Flood Of Paving Petitions
The flood Of petitions for street paw
ing is still flowing into the Council.
The latest streets to Join in the work
are Market street from West Main to
Newell street, Grover from Prairie to
Salem avenue, Grand avenue from
Rice to Rowland and to Brockett
street. The property owners on all
|of these streets ask that they be
paved with brick.
