RESIGN PLACES
ON TWO BOARDS
Park and Water Boards to
Present designations to
New Council.
MAKE IT CLEAN SLATE
Decide to Resign in Order to
Leave Hands of Incoming
Council Unhampered.

Bowling in Difference to the incom-
ing council, members of both the
board of park commissioners and the
board of water commissioners on Mon
day adopted resolutions unanimously
to tender their designations to the
new council at its first regular meet
ing. The designations are to be eff
fective upon their acceptance by the
council and it will be up to the new
council either to reappoint the two
sets of commissioners or to name 9th
ers to take charge of the parks and
the water supply of the city. The
members of both boards expressed
their willingness to cooperate with
the new council in any way whatsoever
and to hold over until new appoint
ments had been made.
The park board was the first to take
the leap. At it's meeting Monday aft
ernoon in the offices of Mayor Joachim
the motion was made by Commissioners
Lance, seconded by Commissioner c..
G. Allen and passed unanimously. The
members of the board are: Adolph
Epstein, chairman; Commissioners
Conrad Shearer, C. C. Allen, A. H.
Lance and Rudolph Gottfredsen.
Water Board Follows Suit.
On Monday evening the board of
water commissioners met at the city
hall and took similar action, agreeing
to send their resignation at once to
the new council The members of
this board are: Frank eraser, John
Milligan and Jacob Zimmerman.
It is anticipated that the action of
the two boards will set a precedent
for all boards and commissions named
by the former administration and that
it will leave the new council unham-
pered to carry out it's own wishes.
All of the commissioners made it
clear that their designations were pre-
sented merely ito wipe the slate clean"
and leave the hands of the new coun-
cilmen free to take whatever steps it
saw fit.
I'VE were appointed by the outgo-
ing administration" declared one mem
Der Of the board. eve feel that with a
new administration taking the reins it
should be unhampered in every depart
ment Of city management. With our
designations in their hands, they will
be free to take whatever action they
see fit regarding the management of
the city parks" -
1t was declared that there, was no
animosity whatever towards the in
coming or outgoing council and that
probably all of the members of the
board would have no hesitancy in ac-.
ceptlng new appointments at the hands
OF the new council. -
The board voted not to proceed with
the work Of erecting, q. shelter house
at the new municipal golf links which
are now being constructed along the
North Shore line north of Grand ave-
nue.. The discussion brought out that
the constructor of this house would
add materially to the cost of the links
and would interfere with the erection
of permanent shelter house and com
fort station in later years. 1t was vot-
ed, however, to push to completion the
building of the golf links proper and
to open them to the public as soon as
possible.
The secretary, was ordered to adver-
tise for bids for the concessions at
Lincoln park and at the playground
beach on Washington Island. The re-
malnder Of the meeting was given over
to the carrying on of the usual routine
business of the commission.
