The result Of long session which the
board Of aldermen held on the occasion
OF their first get together for business
last Tuesday evening came last night,
when number of appointments dis
| cussed behind closed doors at the initial
meeting, were disposed of by the alder
men. A communication from the MAYOR
contained varied list of important and
minor appointments. With one excep-
tion all Of the nominations were con-
firmed by the board, although there were
dissenting votes in number Of in
stances.
Superseding Elwin L. Scott, who has
held the office of city attorney for
number OF years, is William Wishart
who has served creditably as grand iur-
or during the past year. Mr.. Wishart's
nomination was confirmed by vote of
five to one.
A move in the direction of economy
is contemplated in resolution which
has to do with the Office Of city attor-
ney. Section 8 Of the first chapter in
the city ordinances limits the city at
torney to a single office in the city gov
ernment, but the resolution that the citv
fathers passed to a second reading last
night would so amend that section as
to permit the attorney for the city TO
hold other offices if such a course Is
deemed advisable. According to unoffi-
eial reports, it is stated that the Offices
OF city attorney and the state paid grand
juror are to be consolidated Each Office
demands a knowledge OF the law as a
prime qualification, and it is proposed to
pare expenses by continuing Mr.. Wish
art as grand Juror while he is serving
as city attorney. At the city council
meeting next week final action on the
proposed amendment will be taken when
the resolution is read for the second
time
