The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1915-05-07

The city administration changed
Monday evening. The new Mayor
and council took charge quietly and
without disturbing the appointive Of
fees. On taking charge Mayor Boyes
announced that the present city en-
ployes would hold over for the week
while the new administration had time
to get acquainted with conditions and
consider affairs. The announcement
of the mayor was surprise at is was
generally believed that the appointces
had been agreed upon and that the
slate would go through without a
hitch. After making the announce
ment that no action would be taken
until next Monday night the council
adjourned.
The Slate.
Sunday and Monday the atmos-
phere of Caldwell was isurchargcd
with dissatisfaction. 1t was alleged
upon a slate Saturday evening. This
slate was as follows:
Chief of Police, M. +. Madden.
Night Waterman. Fred Rowland.
Superintendent of Streets and Wa
ter Works, S. w. Dee.
Asst. Superintendent of Streets, ].
A. Journey.
Asst. Superintendent of Water
Works, William Rode.
City Attorney, t. A. Walters.
Sexton, John Ross.
After the usual custom in such mat
tiers everybody, including some Of
the appointees were dissatisfied. The
dissatisfaction was openly expressed
on the streets to such an extent that
a small riot was imminent at different
times. Life was made burden for the
new mayor and council by the citizens
of the city protesting against the
action they feared was about to be
taken.
When Mayor Boyes announced that
the appointees had not been agreed
upon but that he would submit the
names Monday night the atmosphere
cleared imediately. The best of feel
ing took the place of anger and all
was peace and happiness.
No Announcements.
There will be announcement OF the
new officers Monday night. 1t is not
known whether Mayor Boyes will
select any of those prominently men
toned for the positions or not. He
will simply take his time and appoint
those he deems best qualified and
most suitable for the places. Every
body has the greatest confidence in
Mr. Boyes. All that they ask is that
he do that which he has stated he
will do: viz, name his appointees,
himself
