Baxter was elected mayor; D. G.
Chase, city solicitor; B. B. Fenton,
assessor; B. C. Mason, treasurer;
and the new councilmen were: First
ward, William Biernatzki; second
ward, William McDonalds third
ward, August White; fourth ward,
r. G. Clark.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
In January, 1890, the question Of
establishing an electric lighting sys-
tenn was much discussed. Council
man Clark was delegated to inves-
tigate the question. At the March
city election, the question of wheth-
er or not the city should establish a
municipal lighting plant, was sub
mitted to a vote and the proposition
carried by 31S majority.
CITY POLITICS.
While the people were practically
united on the municipal lighting
question, they were very much divid-
ed over the city scales question. The
downtown politicians had no
trouble in selecting men of their
own choice in the first and second
wards and they were suspected Of
bringing out candidates in the other
wards favorable to their plans. This
year H. r. Dodge was the regular
nominee Of the caucus for council
man from the fourth ward, and the
uptown" men suspecting that he
was favorable to downtown" inter-
ests put DR.. ]. N. Medbury in the
field as an Independent candidate.
The fight was close, and on the day
before the election there was circu-
lated on the streets, handful,
which read as follows:
"a BIG SCHEME UNEARTHED!"
"By voting for Henry Dodge our
water works plant will be moved,
and located as near as can be learn
ed, at the old water-miu owned by

J. D. RIsTE FOR COUNCILMAN

From the History Of Hamilton
County by F. @. and j. w. Lee: In
the spring of 1888, ]. D. Riste was
elected councilman from the first
ward. He held the office continually
until the time of his death twenty
four years later and with time be-
came the best informed man in city
affairs that ever held the Office OF
councilman. In after years he be-
came known as the Father of the
Council" This year the second
ward elected w. B. Howard, the
) third ward, J. B. Trumbauer, and
the fourth ward, M. l.. Mccullough
MOVING THE POSTOFFICE.
In February, 1889, the old town
fight that had been smouldering for
several years broke out with renew
ed ferocity. 1t became known that
a movement had been quietly start
ed to move the postoffice to an Cup
town. location So quietly in fact
had the matter been worked, that an
inspector arrived from Washington
to investigate before it was general
~ known that any attempt of the
kind was being made.
The postof1ce then stood on the
corner of Second and Seneca streets
and the proposed new location was
the ]. r. Kamrar building near the
corner of Second street and Wilson
avenue. then owned by L. Clark.
In discussing the proposed remov-
al, the Freeman gives the following
bit of history concerning previous
contests over the postofflce:
Fourteen years ago a compact was
entered into between the representa-
tive men Of up town." down
town land chose who interested
themselves at the pivotal corner"
to permanently locate the postoffice
where it now stands and the court
house on its present site. In pur-
suance of this compromise the two
buildings were located and erected
since which time the business OF
Second and Seneca streets had been

the mill property to Webster City for
at least $4,000 to $4,000. Stand
by your colors or our water works

have gone"
/. The bill stirred up enough excite
ment and prejudice to defeat Mr..
Dodge by votes. 1t is but justice
to that gentleman to say that he had
never heard of the scheme" until
he read the handful. Some jealous
uptown partisan, no doubt, dream
ed 1t out. He only needed to sug-
gest it to Walt Wilson, who was
willing to believe anything of his po-
litical enemies, to insure vigorous
action.
A BLOW AT THE CITY SCALES.
The downtown faction still held
control of the council and as there
was no chance of having the scales
ordinance repealed, the attempt was
made to rob it of its vitality by leg
islative enactment. A bill was In
troduced by Senator Smith, which
provided that the statute authoriz-
ing the establishment of city scales
be amended by adding the following
section: Nothing herein shall be
construed so as to authorize the pun
shment of anyone not weighing on
any city scales provided by any city
or town, nor to forbid the use by
parties who so desire, of any private
scales nor the selling of grain, stock
or coal by parties where the seller
and purchaser do not elect to usel
city scales.
Prompt action on the part of the
men prevented the pass
age of the amendment.
