There were contests for all of the
positions and 1t was necessary to
take as many as four ballots before
the four votes necessary for election
could be secured in two instances.
Gallagher was nominated by AL
derman Waters, while Alderman
Clark submitted the hame of Walter
Mathiasen. The two Republicans
passed on the voting for all of the
appointments, but as soon as four of
the Democrats had voted in favor
of the same candidate, Alderman
Riedy moved to make the election
unanimous and Alderman Sofield,
the other Republican, seconded that
motion. Thus every appointment
was unanimous in spite of the con-
tests.
In the first vote on Gallagher and
Mathiasen, the former received the
votes of Waters, Patten and Calvin.
Mcguire, Sofield and Riedy passed
and Clark voted for Mathiasen. The
second ballot showed noechange. The
third ballot resulted in Mcclure vot-
ing for Gallagher. giving the fourth
vote needed for election.
Alderman Mcguire next nominated
Bielecki, Alderman Clark nominated
Cerulo Domi and Alderman Waters,
Max Klein. With three candidates
in the field, Klein received the votes
of Waters aid Patton, MCGUIRE voted
for his candidate and Clark for his
nominee. Calvin explained that he
favored both Bielecki and Klein and
asked to be permitted to pass. So
field and Riedy passed. The second
ballot found no change except that
Calvin voted for Klein. This gave
Klein three votes, one more being
needed. The third ballot resulted in
Calvin casting his ballot for Bielecki,
this giving Klein two votes and
Bielecki two. On the forth ballot
Waters "flopped" from Klein to
Bielecki, Patten followed suit and
the votes of Mcguire and Calvin
gave this candidate the necessary
four votes.
Following the election of Gala
CHER and Bielecki, two more candi-
dates were nominated for the third
position of assessor. Alderman Pat
ten submitted the name of Klein
again and Alderman Clark nomi-
mated Joseph Seaman. Klein re-
ceived three votes from Waters,
Patten and Calvin, while Mcclure
passed with the two Republicans
and Clark voted for Seaman. On
the second ballot Mcclure voted for
Klein, this electing him.
