The list shows but two changes from

John Runland for street commissioner

physician
There was no contention at the
meeting which named the officers

preceding meeting there was nothing
to cause any contention
The street commissioner has been
named with different ideas as to his
duties than IN previous years When
no street work is being done the com
missioner will be required TO do the
repair work alone aud to swing pick

upon the public streets but when work
is being done in any amount he will
have the supervision of It,
A departure from past procedure was
the fixing Of bonds for druggists Be-
ginning at.once. the druggists Of the
city will have TO file bond of 50. 600
This will be no hardship upon the

increasing the number OF saloons
licensed to "a so that the city will re-
ceive si2 900 from saloon licenses at

ing the siege that they wenS through
last year.
lt is quite probable that the Kimball
judgement will be wiped out this year
and when that is done the city will
owe nothing excepting it's bonded in

dama age claims hanging over as but
with judicious handling those claims
will dwindle TO comparatively small
amount ere they re paid.
