 Mayor Timerhoff and the two new Councilmen-W. L. Richards and Frank Whisman-were inducted into office last evening and after the formal ceremony had been conclud- ed the new Mayor made the ap- pointments and announced the stand ing committees as noted above.
 There was no sensational incident to mark the incoming reform admin istration and the expected recommen dations from the new mayor along those lines did not materiaize, he probably reserving them for a later date But there was a sentimental feature that marked the transition in the incuulbency of the office of the chief executive of the municipal ity when the retiring mayor was presented with a gold watch on be- half of the citizens of Prescott. MT Goldwater was completely taken by surprise and he was so affected by the token of appreciation of his ser vices that he was overcome with emotion when he attempted to re- spond in giving expression to his thanks.
 When the old council had con cluded its labors which consisted at this session in the hearing of re- ports of city officials and the allow ing of bills, Mayor Goldwater said: It was in 1879 when I first took office in Prescott and l don't recol- lect how many times 1 have served as councilman or as mayor. am now the oldest as well as the young est ex-mayor of the city and as 10 my record, I can only refer to the records of the city clerk In re- tiring 1 have no recommendations to offer and believe the new mem bers of this body are thoroughly capable of administering the affairs of the city without any suggestion from me. l have always found my associates on the council courteous and we have worked together with out friction or trouble. 1 now take great pleasure in presenting my sue cessor, MT. Timerhoff."
 In assuming his seat, Mayor Tim erhoff said; q appreciate the honor of the position not only because it was bestowed upon me by my fellow citizens but also because have succeeded as good mayor as you have made I feel the people of Prescott appreciate your faithful and efficient services, and if l am able to leave the office at the end of my term and shall have made as good a record, I shall feel that their faith has not been unfounded. In behalf of the citizens for whom you have labored so well l desire to present you with this token of esteem. As time passes and you look upon this memento, I hope you will bear in mind the esteem of the citizens of Prescott for yourself.
 He then handed Mir. Goldwater a case containing a valuable Howard gold watch upon the exterior of which is engraved this inscription
 Presented by Citizens of Prescott in recognition of his services.
 MAYOR,
 MORRIS GOLDWATER.
 After viewing the token for a few seconds NIT. Goldwater undertook to respond but after speaking a few words, his voice became husky and he almost choked with emotion. T
