With profusion of flowers and an
abundance of oratory the new common
council got away to flying start at
its meeting on Monday evening and
with the usual accompaniment of a
crowded lobby and cheering friends of
the new aldermen the members of the
body were indicted into Office. 1t
was an suspicious beginning of the
new year for the governing board of
the city of Kenosha. Of course there
was the usual rivalry for the minor
offices of the city, but only partN of
the plums were given out and the al
dermen decided to take another two
weeks to decide just who should be
named for important places Alder
man w. 7. Marlatt was elected presi-
dent of the council and ATTORNEY John
Z. Slater was reelected to his office of
city attorney, but the election of the
street commissioners and the other APP
pointive officials was laid over until
the next meeting in order to give the
new aldermen time to make a further
investigation into the merits Of the
candidates for these places.

the council and | feel certain that YOU
men, who are coming to aldermanic
position for the first time this even

big things that we viii be called upon
to consider is the question of straight.

lift bridge with proper viaduct for the
proper protection of Main street. ]
believe that this is one of the most i'm.
portant problems ever brought to the
common council, but believe that we
will find way to solve it during the
coming year. I want to go on record
as being in favor of the opening Of
Ashland avenune to connect with
Caledonia street. The officers Of the
city have made many investigations
and I am optimistic that before the
end of the year we shall complete thi:
work.
