The Glenwood post., 1910-04-23
town COUNCIL
APPOINTS OFFICERS

1t was started with lot of sidewalk
talk, but no definite arrangement for
new walks was made.
There being no officers reports, no
J bills and no new ordinances the order
and the mayor made inquiry concerning
the application of the Garfield County
Telephone company to enter the Glen
wood territory. When it was found that
the company had not amended it's petit
ton in accordance with a former agree
ment it was suggested that the officers
be asked to do this and also to incor-
porate a schedule of rates which they
would agree not to exceed. 1t was also
suggested that the company be asked
to guarantee to keep up their line in a
creditable condition so that the people
could talk over it. which Howard said
would be very great Improvement
over the usual condition.
The council then proceeded with the
election of officers.
Theodore Rosenberg being the only
applicant for the office of town eng;
necr was elected by unanimous vote.
s. j. DeLan seemed to be the only per
son with desire to be town attorney
and his wish was gratifed. all six vot'
ing for him.
C. M. White who has been police mag,
istrate for the past two years likes the
Job so well that he asked for a third
term and got it by unanimous vote.
For town scavenger there Were two
applicants, A. C. Murdack and A. Z.
Hamblet, and each set out his qualif-
cations a very convincing application
but when the vote was taken it stood
Murdock 6, Hamblet o.
For town marshal there were also two
applicants, Chas H. Baxter and H. f.
Cardnell, and the result of the ballot
was the same as for scavenger, Charley
drawing the and Bert the cipher.
There was no dearth of applicants for
the position of night policemen, f. II.
Kunes, T. E. Richardson, Bert Abrams
and John Leezer announcing by written
application their willingness to serve
the "deer peepul' in that capacity
and it was intimated that a number of
other willing and unselfsh individuals
might have been found by shaking the
Al
looked over this list some of them
were seen to shake their heads and then
after a short silence Barnes made
motion that the selection of a night
marshal be temporarily deferred and
that the position be temporarily filled
by the police committee until such
time as the council might agree on
permanent officer
The new appointees were requested
to file their bonds and likewise their
designations with the mayor who viii
temporarily approve the former and
hold the latter for further use should
such action seem necessary.
Mayor Drach then referred to his re-
1ycent trip to Denver. He had talk
with Judge Rush who said he had pro-
tected the interests of the town by
filing the necessary papers in the federal
court and that it was now up to Cover
nor Thomas to file some sort of answer
if he desired to do so. The mayor said
that he was satisfied that the lawyers
had an agreement to postpone the Glen
wood case so far as they could, unth
after the Denver election on May IL.
He stated that in Glenwood Governor
Thomas was for the company and
against the people. in Denver he had
taken the opposite course and was
working hard for the peoples interests
and that the conditions in the two
places were almost identical. Just no"
nearly identical the cases are and just
how Mr.. Drach knows there is any simi-
larity at all our good mayor neglected
to explain although he admitted that
there should be some sort of entertain
ment as he said the proceedings were
so tame that he felt sure the spectators
had been disappointed. This statement
was probably correct in more ways
than one.
