they took their seats.
The opening remarks by Mayor Ed
er had the true ring and the citizens
and taxpayers who heard him were
highly pleased with his announcement
of the new era in Keokuk municipal
management
He announced that while there
would be council meetings in the fu-
ture, at which the public would be
invited. the policy of the commission
would be to conduct most of the bust
ness in an informal manner and the
regular council meetings would be gen
orally a meeting for the purpose of
spreading the proceedings on the min
utes, but that the citizens would al
ways find willing ear from the COM
mission and would be welcome at all
times for suggestions, petitions, advice
and counsel.
The meeting of the old council was
delayed by the absence of City Clerk
Moore, who was reported sick at his
home.
The council was called to order at
9 o'clock by Mayor Off, who announced
to the impatient spectators that the
delay had been caused by the clerks
illness. All aldermen were present,
excepting Swanson, and Judge Rice H.
Bell acted as the clerk of the meeting.
