ner. The kid band gave a short but
select concert and an unusual number
Of citizens were present to see how the
new city dads took hold Of the ship OF
state.
The 1909 council first met, listened
TO the reading Of the minutes and
watched Judge King gracefully give
the oath of Office to the incoming
council. Then Councilmen E. A.
King, Woldenberg and Wheeler un-
obuusively retired and helped to swell
the number of private citizens in the
audience chamber.
Treasurer Anderson was also sworn
in to succeed himself.
Mayor Gutherless then announced
the following committees:
Finance-R. T. King, Carlquist,
Weigand.
Fire, Water and Police-Hathaway,
King, Crlquist.
Street, Alleys and Lights-Weigand,
Hathaway, Mccoy.
The mayor then announced that he
had created a new committee which he
believed could do the work that gen.
orally called for the appointment OF
numerous and bothersome special COM
mittees, and that the same would be
sort Of public improvement committee.
He named as members of that COM
mittee, Councilmen Ca1lquist, Wiegand
and Hathaway.
]. J. King and G. w. Hoxsey were
named to succeed themselves as city
attorney and city health officer respec-
lively, and their appointment was con-
frmed unanimously by the council.
The following bills were read: T. c.
Yocum, drayage, $1.75; clerk, 100
dog tags, 1925; A. V. Shore, team,

Police Justice Taylor presented a
bill for court fees covering period
from Sept. % to date, including 80
cases, mostly drunks, and amounting
to S107.45. The fee in most cases
was So, but in one or two instances
the costs mounted up because of wit
nesses. Judge Taylor also reported
that he had $40 in fines on hand.
This makes the city some $63 ahead
of the game.
1t was voted that the bill OF the Tum-
water Light and Water Co. be referred
back for correction.
The bill of J. F. Pratt for S2.85,
fare for pauper, and bill of J. F. Hart
man Sc for labor on doghouse, were
referred to marshal for ok.
The bills, with these three excep-
tions, were then ordered paid.
The communication from the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., laid over from last
month, and which related to a desired
rebate Of taxes collected by the city on
land outside the city limits, was read.
The letter of the company requested a
refund Of S11.40, but as letters from
the county treasurer showed apparently
but the paltry sum Of SIS. so the matter
was referred to the city attorney for
disentanglement.
Another communication was received
from Mr.. Turner regarding the moving
Of house owned by him and which
trespasses on a portion Of one Of the
city streets. Mr.. Turner pleaded
financial decrepitude, but suggested
that if it had to be moved Mr.. Thos.
Burke be hired to move it as reasonable
as possible.
The following communication was
received and read from F. J. Brady, the
late and lone candidate for mayor in
the city election:
