Slight Changes in G|enwoods Town
Council. ". [. Smith and c.
c. MCKissaCk Are New
APPOINTMENTS ARE: Postponed

The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was held last Monday eve.
ming but nothing of consequence was
done. A few bills were allowed. the
abstract of votes in the recent election
presented and approved, a supplement
tai report of Marshall Weidenhammer
WAS read in which is was sought to give
the town board credit for all the Gem
ent sidewalks which the people built
| along their lots last year, either volur
tarily or as a penalty for not being
democrats. When this was completed
the members passed a few boquets to
each other and adjourned to Tuesday
evening.
At Tuesday, meeting there were
more boquets and after the routine bust
ness of the old board had been complet-
ed there was little speechifying in
which Weidenhammer and Drach played
n prominent part. The former told the
members how he loved them and thank
ed them for their courtesy to him and
after especially assuring the holdover'
members of his kindly feeling for them
well started during the past year might
-eortinued.- of course sthis- Nrassnok-
meant for a hint as to his own reap
pointment but just nice little remind
er that it would be too bad to have
break in the program.
Mayor Drach was a little more inde
peudent-he could afford to be, AID
while thanking the holdovers he also
expressed his thanks to the outgoing
members and admonished them to Gre
member the Maine,' or words to that
effect
The old council then became thing
of the past and Barlow, Cardnell and
Barnes stepped out and W. L. Smith
and c. c.. Mex sack as strictly new
members and c. d. Barnes and Mayor
Drach, reelected stepped up and the
oath of office was administered to them
by George Edinger. o
Then the council proceeded to the Ell
ection of a mayor pro TEN. and on the
second ballot this honor fell to G. d.
Barnes. w. w. Cross was elected clerk
pro TEN. on the second ballot
For town clerk George Kendrick was
the only applicant and he was elected
by unanimous ballot and the same
treatment was given f. II. SelhorSt who
was the only candidate for town treas
urer.
At this point Trustee Howard secur-
ed the recognition of the mayor and
said .'Mr. Mayor, inasmuch as we have
all been very busy and it has been I'M
possible for us to get together and eau
Gus on the various applicants / move
that the balance of the appointments
be allowed to go over until the next
meeting of the board and that the pres
ent officers be continued until the ap-
pointment of their successors.' Barnes
was quick to second the motion which
carried without discussion or opposi-
ton.
Mayor Drach then announced the
appointment of standing commihtees
as follows:
Finance-Barnes, Howard. Meadows
Police -McKissack, Smith. Howard.
Street and AlleylSmith, McKissaclS.
Howard.
Bicense-Barnes, McKissack, Cross.
Water and Light-Howard. Barnes,
Meadows.
Building Meadows, Cross, Smith.
Fire-Cross. McKissack, Smith.
There was then considerable dis
cussion as to the work to be taken up
by the new board. Mayor Drach made
ouite a talk for improvements in tie
wav of new sidewalks. But how are
we fixed for funds. Mr.. Drach7' was
the first question from Trustee Smith.
Drach was then obliged to explain, a.
though apparently with considerable
reluctance that the cost Of sidewalk
construction was all on the owners Of
the abutting lots. They did not square
