(From Tuesdays Daily


I'll. B. Schwan, member of the
County Board from the Seventh ward
was elected chairman of the Board for
the new year at the opening session
held at the Court House this morning.
His election came after a six ballot
dead lock in which he divided Ghe
votes of the Board with Henry F. Jor-
dan Of the Third ward who has served
in the capacity Of chairman on several
other Boards.
The Board was called to order by
George Kreuscher of Paris, who gives
up his place after TWO years as chair
man. After the election of the new
chairman, retiring Chairman Kreuscher
presented the new chairman with
gavel. In making the presentation
Mr.. Kreuscher spoke of the pleasant
two years he had spent at the head of
the Board and declared that he carried
with him into private life the most
cherished memories of the friendships
which he had formed while a member
Of the Board and that these memories
would prove great satisfaction to him
in all the years to come In accepting
the gavel Chairman Schwan paid a.
pretty compliment to Chairman Kreus-
cher when he said that he hoped that
he would be able to use the gavel pre-
sented with the same spirit of fairness.
to all that had characterized the adj
ministration of the retiring chairman.
There was little business at the open
ing session. The chairman named
committee composed Of Supervisors III,
F. Jordan, A. J. Burg, Charles Diet
rich, George Moran and Charles Kline
to select a, set Of standing committees
for the season and it was decided that
a special committee should be named
to look after the coroner s bills on ac-
count of the fact that they were larger
this year than in preceding years.
The membership of the Board has
been greatly changed this year and
many of the old time members have
given up their places to younger men.
There are nine new members. These
include John 7. Yule, A. j. Burg, John
Betting and Simon Krebs, Jr., repre-
senting city wards; J. P. Spartz of
Paris, W. V. Gull, Jr, of Brighton, E.
j. Rhodes of Salem, Thomas Riley of
Pleasant Prairie, James Moran of
Somers.
After the Board had completed it's
organization an adjournment was taken
