HERMANN NAMES DEPUTIES
Miss Ivy Russell Resigns as Deputy Co.
Clerk and Is Succeeded by Miss Cath
crime McNamara-New District At
torney Kept Busy In Court.

The new officials of Kenosha county
got off to a. flying start this morning
and when they started their official
year all of them found a lot of work
waiting for them. In fact, they were
so busy that there was little chance for
the usual floral displays which mark the
beginning of most new administrations
in Kenosha and Kenosha county. Of
course the real interest centered in the
county Jail. Sheriff Hermann took
charge on Monday morning--right on
the dot-as provided by law, and he
had a quiet time for the first day. The
retired sheriff, Andrew F. Stahl, re-
manned at the Office today to get the
new sheriff started, but within a few
days he is going to look after his auto
mobile business. John Haag was in
charge of the Jail Office as undersheriff.
This morning Sheriff Hermann be-
gan appointing his deputies for the
new term and seven of them took the
oath of Office before noon. These in
cluded Fred Promo, Undersheriff John
Haag, E. M. Delahoyd, Jack Ludwig,
Ray Ward, A. Mahlzahn and A. r.
Davies. Within few minutes after
the new deputies had qualified they
were sent out to Twin Lakes for strike
duty. Regardless Of the fact that there
was immediate field service in sight
there were plenty of men about seek
ing to be named as deputies and it was
declared by the new sheriff that he had
no shortage Of material from which to
pick his aides. He was so busy today
that he had no time to consider the
lists of old standby deputies and
these men will have to wait for the
consideration of their appointments
until after the strike danger out at
the lakes is over.
District Attorney Peter Fisher Jr.,
plunged into work within few minutes
after he had qualified for the Office and
he had Municipal Court term to look
after and a lot Of minor cases which
had been brought to light by the police
during the double holiday. His first
morning in Office was spent up at the
Municipal Court making an effort to
adjust family troubles.
The most interesting fact in connec-
ton with the Opening of the new year
at the county building, was the resigna-
tion of Miss Ivy Russell, who has been
a most efficient deputy to County Clerk
Jones. The failing health Of the
father of Miss Russell caused her to
give up her work in the Office of the
county clerk and Miss Catherine Me-
Namara succeeded her Miss McNa-
mara has had wide experience in of
fee work and it is certain that
she will be most successful as deputy
to the county clerk.
In many of the offices the new office
holders were kept busy receiving the
congratulations Of their friends and
taking it all in all inauguration day
was quite day.
1t had been expected that the new
Offices of the building department of
the city would be ready for opening
this morning, but all the furniture pro-
vided for the office was telephone,
and Building Inspector Albers and
Plumbing and Electric Inspector Ham
let were working in the Office of the
City Engineer.
Tt is expected that the office will be
ready for the work of the new officials
within day or two. Not a single ap-
phcation for a building permit was
issued this morning
