THAT WAS ONLY CHANGE
Very Little Opposition Turned
Up Against the Present Off
cials. Defeat of W. B. Fain
for Treasurer Was a Great
Surprise.

The annual election of city officers
occurred last night and there was but
a single change in tile present per
sonnel of those who are serving the
city. True it is that one or two minor
places were not filled last night, but
on the whole the old regime were
again elected. At the pumping sta
tion, the engineer and the assistant
were left open, as was the case with
the keepers of both of the cemeteries
The surprise of the evening came in
the election of L. Lugwig as city
treasurer over w. B. Fain, the pres
ent incumbent, who has held the of
flee for ten years. Mr.. Fain was the
only applicant for the office before
council, but when that office was
called for, Alderman Roberts nomi
AatNQ Mr.. Ludwig and in the ballot
whivll followed, he received all of the
votes cast. Mr. Ludwig was for eight
years a member of the city council
has served as acting mayor and
chairman of the finance committed
and is well posted on city matters. He
is one of the most popular men ir
Brunswick and will make the city 6
splendid official. Those elected last
night are as follows:
City clerk, N. d. Russell; city
treasurer. L. Ludwig; city attorney.

failed to materialize.
