The first meeting of the new council
was held last Tuesday evening for the
purpose of organization. Outside of
listening to the mayors address and
electing new officers to appointive
positions no other work was attempted
and the session was short one. The
chamber was well filed with citizens,
anxious to see how the new body con-
Quoted itself and to learn who would be
at the head of the different departments
for the next two years. Large punches
of American Beauty roses and carna-
tions-a gift from his friends-were.
placed by the city hall janitor on the
mayors table.
After calling the council to order the
mayor read the following message
which requires no comment:
To The Common Couaca of the city Of
Wdusdu:
GENTLEMEN -
We have been selected to administer
the affairs of this city for the ensuing
two years. Wausau is our home We
have every faith in its future and must
build, not only with reference to our
present, but also in consideration of the
growth and probable progress of the
years to come. The coming possi-
bilities of electricity, the excellent
water powers of our river, the fact that
our town lies in the center of great
and rapidly developing agricultural
tablishments, the united sentiment of
our citizens, are all factors that must
be considered in our work
We must also remember that there is
at present an industrial depression,
that the rate of taxation has steadily in
creased during the last three years and
that it has now reached a point where
the burden is being seriously felt by
many of our taxpayers. 1t would seem
that we have come to a time when
every retrenchment that is possible
should be made.
The present financial condition of the
city should receive careful and studi-
Gus consideration at your hands, and in
this consideration there should be no
thought of politics or political interests.
As view it, the situation is serious and
we must exercise unusual care and
economy in all of our official acts.
The financial condition of the city on
April 10, 1908, was as follows
