ming, T. H. Werlich was appointed

to the confirmation of the mayor
and council. Mr.. Werlich has been
a resident of Omaha for l8 years
and for IS years president of the

posed of travelling statesmen. He has
done considerable work with the
Union Gospel Mission. OF late he
has been much intertsed in welfare
work and has visited Chicago and
Kansas City, looking closely into the
methods pursued there.
II like the system in force in Kan
sas City, said Mr.. Weirick, land if
my appointment is confirmed l in
tend to follow this system very
closely. | have high ideals for the
work and hope to make it a real
benefit to Omaha and make Omaha
city which is looked to as an ex-
ample. of efficiency by other cities"

to require so many employees. Pro-
visions were also made for dance

winter.
