CHILLY START AT
FIRST MEETING
Initial Session of the Commits
sion for New Year Held
in Cool Atmosphere.
EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
Ink Is Frozen, Rudgren Is Busy, No
Heat i'm Room, but AL
Ends Well.

Rock Islands city commission be-
gan the new year with its first meet
ing of 1912 yesterday afternoon
amidst environments that were, at
first, anything but conducive to the
best results. In the first place there
was quite crimp in the personnel
of the assemblage because of the fact
that Commissioner M. T. Rudgren.
weighted down with affairs appertain-
ing to the needs of the department Of
the city clerk, was unable to break
away from the exceedingly heavy
grist in his Office. He is the record
keeper of the council, among other
things, and so his duties had to be
cared for by Commissioner R. r.
Reynolds.
COLD ROOM, FROZEN INK.
When they scrambled into the city
hall council chamber they felt the in
tense change in atmospherical condf
tons, for the heat had not penetrated
stuff GENTLY TO down the cold condi-
tions that have existed there for a
week. The ink was frozen in the bot
ties so that it could not be used for
writing; the door had to be closed
so that none of the precious warmth
could escape. When the door went
shut, it locked and a hapless scribe
had TO pound for admission.
FINISHES WE'LL.
The council meeting ended well
after the transaction of business. If
the old adage, "a bad beginning is a
good ending can be taken as a cri-
terion, the council got off yesterday
