MAYOR TO NAME COMMITTEES
School Board will Elect New Chairman
and Name Heads For Many Impor-
tant Committees of That Body
Other APPOINTMENTS to Come Soon.

| Now that the election is over inter
est naturally centers in the re-
organization of the common council
and the naming of appointlve officials
for the new year. The council will
meet in adjourned session on Friday
evening and canvass the vote cast
at Tuesday Is election and certificates
will at once be issued to the new al
dermen. school commissioners and
county supervisors. The re-organiza-
ton of the council will probably take
place OH next Monday evening. At
| this time Mayor Head will be expect
ed to give his annual message to the
council naming standing committees
| for the coming year and outlining the
work Of the city. The members of the
board of education and there are eight
new ones, will take their offices on
next Tuesday evening at the regular
April meeting Of the board. The
county supervisors elect will not be
in action until the regular November
meeting Of the board.
The assessors begin work at once
and the justice Of the peace will be-
gin his new term on the first day of
May
Judge Belden in the circuit court
and Judge Taylor on the county bench
will begin a six year term on the first
day of January next and Judge Ran
dall's new term in the municipal
court will date four years from next
January.
The reorganization of the council
and the board of education will bring
many changes in the city. The pres
ent election brought the retirement of
many men who have been prominent in
| the work of the council and many i'm
portant committee assignments must
go into new hands The biggest loss
to the city and the council is the re-
tirement of Alderman Joseph G. Rhode
who retired of his own volition. Al
derman Rhode has been chairman on
the committee of streets and alleys
and has been an Invaluable member of
this department Of the work of the
city. His place will probably be tax
en- by one Of the older aldermen, the
appointment being in the hands of
Mayor Head. Alderman Stemm was
chairman of the committee on fire de-
partment and his place will be an i'm
3portant one to be filed by the mayor.
! Alderman Saftig has been very eff
fcient head of the paupes committee
and has also served the city in the
capacity of poormaster. His defeat
at the recent primaries left his place
open. 1T is not improbable that the
council will decide to go back to the
former plan of electing a poormaster
and already the name of former Alder
man Saftig has been mentioned in con-
nection with the office.
The new council will have many ap-
| pointments to make with the re-
organization. These will include the
election Of a president Of the council,
a city attorney, street commissioners,
a city physician and several minor
places are to be filed
| 1t is probable that John c. Slater
will be candidate for reelection as
city attorney. He has made an excel
lent attorney and is known to have
the support of many of the members
of the council. All of the present
street commissioners will seek re-
election and there will undoubtedly be
many other candidates.
The reorganization of the school
board will be almost as interesting as
that of the council. President Burke
of the board, has retired and there
will probably be a scramble for this
place. Many important committee
ehairmanships will be vacant as re-
suit Of the retirement of eight of the
members Of the board and these must
be filed by the new president of the
/ board.
In addition to the organization of
these bodies members Of the various
l
commissions are to be appointed by
the MAJOR. These appointments in
eluae members of the board of police
and fire commission, board of health
and parls commission. All of these
places are to be filled dung the
present month.
