NEW COUNCIL HOLDS CAUCUS
MAY BE SURPRISES.

The recently-nominated members
Of the Paris City Council, held a
preliminary family caucus Wednesday
night for the purpose, according TO
well-founded reports, of discussing
their probable action in regard to Sc
lecting men to I'LL the various city
Offices when they take their new
Offices in January.
The information, which came to
THE NEWS from a reliable source,
was to the effect that the conference
was attended by all the members,
and that the discussion was not alone
confined to the selection of officials,
but that other subjects, especially
those affecting the future financial
and business interests of the city
were taken up and discussed in a
thoroughly harmonious and business
like manner.
Among others things considered,
it is alleged, the conference discuss
ed the matter of employing city Off
GERS and city hands, the first men
toned, police and fremen, etc., to be
employed and paid monthly, and the
city hands, quarrymen, street clean
ers, ETC., to be paid weekly, their
term of employment being conditional
upon the prompt, faithful and effici-
ent performance of their duty. Thus,
an employe could be removed at will
for incompetency or neglect of duty,
instead of being carried on the city
payroll for a year.
THE NEWS has from it's source of
information the further assurance
that at this conference the following
changes in the personnel of the city
officials were seriously considered
and recommended for action, as be.
ing the best for the city's interest
and to remove possible friction:
For City Attorney, Messrs. William
Grammar and John Williams were
considered, but the matter of selec-
tion left open; for patrolmen, George
NJ. Hill, Grant OVERLY and Russell
Crouch are under favorable consider

MAYOR MAY ATTEND
MAYORS MEETING

Mayor Hinrichs has received an
invitation to attend the mayors con-
vention, to meet in Savannah, Ga
on March 10, of this year. While he
has come to no conclusion yet, he
stated that he would probably accept.
Mayor Hinrichs attended similar
convention in Newark, N. j., last
September, the League of American
Municipalities from which he derived
many helpful hints on municipal
politics
The Mayors Association, meeting
in Jacksonville on January 1920,
formed permanent organization for
the extreme southern portion of the
south, and its perpetuation it sis
thought will prove of great benefit.
One of the principal objects for which
the initial meeting was called was to
take steps to stop the practice of
sending beggars from one community
to another.
Matters pertaining to municipal
ties in general and the betterment of
governmental conditions will be dis
Cussed.
