NEW OFFICIALS
COMMENCE WORK
COUNCIL MEETS FOR LAST TIME
AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
ARE SWORN IN
LITTLE CHANGE MADE IN APPOINTMENTS
Mayor FIittie and Commissioner
Mathews and Ray Divide the
Duties Of Office.

After completion of all left over
business the city council adjourned
for the last time Monday evening and
the commission form of city govern
ment was ushered in by the call to
order of Mayor T. l. Flittie OF the
board Of commissioners, composed, of
II. B. Mathews and E. J. Ray. The
former mayor, w. II. Leighty, before
dismissing the council thanked them
all for their cooperation, and then
welcomed the new officers.
e. j. Ray was appointed acting pres
ident of the board to perform the
duties Of mayor in the event that
officer is unable to perform them by
reason of absence or illness. A reso-
luton passed by the board divided the
various governmental duties among
the three members of the board,
Mayor Flittie having charge of all pub
lie buildings, police. fire and health
departments, and all financial matters;
Mr.. Ray having charge of all matters
relating to heat, light, water and sew
erage and Mr.. Mathews having super
vision sof air matters relating to
streets, sidewalks. parks and public
grounds. BY drawing lots, Mr. Ray
won the fouryear term and Mr..
Mathews won the twoyear term.
There We're only two changes made in
the appointive offices.
The city commission made two good
appointments when they selected G.. A.
Gullick for assessor and Henry Wiese
for street commissioner. The many
years of experience Mr.. Gullick has
had in the county treasurer's Office and
on the board of county commissioners
gives him distinctive knowledge cf
property values not only in the city,
but throughout the county. Henry
Wiese will make the city a faithful
and efficient street commissioner or
we miss our guess.

is on throughout the county to raise
what Is known as the citizens fund

its service, good work and influence in
the community, and to society in gen.
eral This fund is divided proportion
ately among the denominations en-
gagged in the drive. Each man has the
privilege to designate exactly where
his gift is to go. For instance he may
designate it to so to the hospital in
Brookings, the college at Sioux Falls
or to mission in India. c. S. Metzgar,
Y. NJ G. A. secretary at State college,
