of three improvement districts.
Among the appointments made by
Mayor E. C. Conner was that of
councilman from the first ward to
fill out the unexpired term caused
by his resignation to accept the po-
sition of mayor. Sidney f. Barnes
received this appointment. Frank

water commissioner Seven applica-
tions were made for these positions,
some of which were accompanied by
long lists of petitioners.
J. D. Casey was appointed mayor
pro TEN, and DIR. J. w. Henderson
health officer. The office of police
Judge, the mayor stated, would not
be filled until the next regular meet
ing. The officers elected by the Col

mayor stated that the first named on
each of these committees would act

Several residents within the late
improvement districts appeared before
the council protesting against the
excess charges on the cement walks.
They wanted to know why it was
that the sum of $4,000 was charged
against their district over and above
the contract price of the cement
walks. This matter was explained
in part by City Attorney W. H. Jack
son and by the engineer, j. b.
Thomas.
A building permit was granted
Sam Robinson to remodel the three
story residence building on the cor
ner of Astor and Wynne, known as
the M. A. Lynch building. Mr..
Robinson proposes to remodel and
equip this building for a lodging
house.
A report from the retiring clerk,
J. H. King, was read and after some
discussion it was agreed that the re-
port was indefinite and incomplete
and w. w. Campbell was appointed
to complete a clerks report for the
year 1920, and allowed additional
compensation for this work. Mr.
Campbell remarked, incidentally, that
the state checker always charged $o
a day and expenses for this work.
