session last evening with all members
present and Mayor Newbert presiding.
On motion the reading Of the min
utes of the previous meeting was dis
pensed with.
The matter Of appointing a member
Of the Water, Light, Power & Building
Commission was then taken up for
consideration. Recorder Cravens made
motion that Charles Keith be ap-
pointed to succeed himself, but the
motion received no second. Council;
man T. M. Olsen then moved that F..
w. Manke be named, and the motion
was seconded by Councilman G. H.
Gottwerth. The motion carried, Coun-
Gilman Ross also voting in the affirm
ative. H.. ..s,
Mr.. Keith has proven valuable
member of the commission, and it
would have been no more than right
to reward his faithful services with
another appointment. His policy Of
collecting all light bills without fear
or favor has meant considerable to
the taxpayers and it is to be hoped
that it will be continued. Mr.. Manke
is level-headed business man, and
with Messrs. Craig and Bryson will
undoubtedly look after the interests
of the taxpayers.
