 The above is the lineup of council. men for the city of Juneau, The terms were decided at the regular meeting last night City Clerk Pet tit placed six sealed envelopes on the big table and six men drew. May or B. D. Stewart instructed the city clerk to call the roll, and as the names of the present council were announced, the envelopes were torn open and the sclps enclosed read. These slips designated the term of office.
 It was shortly after eight o'clock lasts night that John Beck called the old city council to order. The faith ful five answered to roll call, Reck, Britt, Miller. Willis and Woland. The minutes of the three previous meet ings were read and approved. At that moment Councilman elect Me Kama went inside Of the railing and opened box of choice cigars, said: "Gentlemen. here is little present from Thomas McCaul. showing that he is good sport and good loser"
 The cigars were then passed around. After the weeds had been lit, John Beck asked Mir. Wolland to escort Juneau's new mayor within the sac red circle. As MT. Stewart entered the carpeted portion of the council chambers, the old councilmen filed out through the little gate. The new councilmen filed In and the change of administrations was com pleted. The only person who did not move was George F. Miller and he kept the same seat he has been used to for years.
 Mayor Stewart had the roll called and all Of the newly elected council men answered present" The draw ing for one and two year councilmen then took place City Clerk Petit mentioned that two petitions were held over from the last council, one from the petitioners asking for an extension of the city's boundaries and the other from the Juneau Woman's Club for certain actions. Both were laid on the table, and w'll be dis cussed at the next session.
 The first real work of the new council. according to ordinance. was the selection of an assessor. Two filed for the. office J. A. McKanna and A. C. Williams The former asked for $500 and the later indicat- ed he would do the required work for $500. as provided by the city or dinance. It was the general consen- sus of opinion among the new coun- cnmen that very little should be done at the evenings meeting, an being new to the duties 1t was sanctioned to allow city matters to ride for a few days and the same officers re- tained in office. This phase of the matter was discussed briefly and in order that no violation. of the city ordinance could arise. 1t was stated that when the meeting did adjourn, 1t would be an adjournment until next Tuesday night when last nights session would be completed.
 Chief of Police Sitter presented his semi-monthly report and City Clerk Petit created applause when he read the following financial statement:
 Balance in General Fund S2,2S1S5 Cash at City Dock...... 5ST32 Outstanding Accounts at the
 City Dock ............ 5O4.25 Value of Coal; City Dock. 1,OS2.75 School Fund Balance ... 15O4,S4 Grand Total in the City
 Treasury ................ S0,96O.3l
 The question of new water mains in certain sections of the city was informally brought up and John Reck stated that in the Casey Shattuck Addition. mains would be laid as soon as street grades were estab- lished.
