COUNCIL RULES
CURTA|L WORK
STANDING COMMITTEES RE-
DUCED IN NUMBER TO SEVEN
OLD BODIES PASSING
AWAY.

President Adams marshaied his al
dermanic forces through forty min
utes of fast going last night. and
wiped off the map ali Isiness per-
tinent to the time. ana with the
march the board carried Itself out
of existence SO far as the present
complexion OF committees Is con-
cernsd.
i large amount of important bust
ness was transacted, the most in
teresting being concurrence in the
ordinances raising the pay of many
city employees and the appropriation
of funds for the work Of building
the new First regimenIal armory.
The report OF the committee on
rules was also concurred in, and with
this. and the signature of the mayor,
the present makeup OF the commit
tees will be radically changed. The
work of council viii he minimized,
as much which has heretofore been
done by that body will be taken up
by the administrative board on jan
NARY list.
Few changes are made I'm the rules
as a whole, the principal being the
elimination of a number OF commit
tees the change in the nanre of
others, and the consolidation of still
others, while in every instance tho
membership of the committees Is en-
larged
The new committees. which will be
filled at the next meeting of the two
branches Of council will be:
Streets. finance. ordinances. pub
JIG buildings, utility and property,
dock. river and harbor. claims and
advertising and enterprises
The board OF public interests re-
mains as at present--two ALDERMEN,
three councifmen. two citizens chosen
by the boaH, and three by the lower
branch, with the president OF COM
mon council as chairman.
The chairman of the finance COM
mittee Is ex-officio member OF all
standing committees, except he can
not vote at sS,y meeting except that
of the finance committee.
A majority of each committee Is
to be considered a quorum. and no
member Of the finance committee may
serve on any other standing commit
/ tee.
/ Under the new rules the advertise
ing and enterprise committee be-
comes standby committee. Here
tofore this committee has been look
ed upen as temporary affair. The
present committee carries several
members OF the finance committee
This cannot prevail after the first OF
the year.
There will be number of changes
necessary in the new formation. II
is likely that Messrs Peters and
Mills will get together during the
next week and frame up the list OF
committeeman for the lower branch,
SO that when that body meets on the
first Monday In January there Will be
no delay. PRECEDENT Adams and Vice.
President Powers will do the same.

1t was thought by disnterested, as

board of aldermen last night might
take up the "vondelehr ordinance"
concerning the method of employing

service rules.

branch OF council, was asked about
the ordinance, He knew absolutely
nothing about IL Neither did Presi-

City Clerk August rushed to the

that he had IL In his pigeon hole,

appropriates 1t and presents 1t to some
one of the incoming committees after

1t Is stated that such an ordinance
will be introduced In council at GONE
early date. The design Is to head

pointments TO city positions. The or
dinance creating the adrninistr alive
board gives that body the power to
employ necessary clerks and officials,
fix salaries and decrease or increase
