night at the meeting of the Board OF
Aldermen failed to materialize and
the large audience which filed
every available seat in the council
chamber and stood about the walls
was doomed to disappointment. The
Items which were expected to result
in a stormy session never came be-
fore the board, having been pur-
posely dropped from the order OF
business scheduled to come before
the board. The "truce" resulted IN
all animosity between the members
disappearing for the time being and
the session was one of the most Sc
rene ever witnessed.
Although the New Years resolu-
ton of the board to start all meet
ings promptly at o'clock was
broken the first night. 1t being after
Q o'clock when the roll was called
only about forty-five minutes were
consumed in transacting the busi-
ness before the board, there being
no controversies to hold up pro-
gress.
The meeting would not have been
delayed much more than thirty min
hean for a special committee session
called for the purpose of consider
ing the application of the local naval
militia for permission to moor their
training ship Newton" off the foot
of Market street. 1t seems the state
is willing to appropriate $4,000 for
the construction of a dock from the
road to the boat, distance of some
200 feet, If the city grants the neces-
sary permission for the mooring or
the boat at this location. No de-
cision was reached. 1t being decided
to take this up again at an ad-
iourned meeting next Monday night.
The mayors appointments to city
boards were received, most OF them
being reappointments. Clayton
Clark was reappointed school COM
missioner for a five year term, Sena-
tor Morgan r. Larson was reappo1nt-
ed sinking fund commissioner for
three years; Ira r. Grouse was reap

was appointed health commissioner
for three years; Walter Math1asen
was reappointed commissioner Tor a
five year term and Rev. Ropert
Schlotter was reappointed library
trustee for five years. One vacancy
on the health board was not filled
by the mayor last night but TINS
appointment will likely be mace
within the next two weeks.
Mayor Wilson had letter before
the board stating that he had under
consideration the promotion of De-
tective John Murray to the rank of
lieutenant of detectives and recon-
mended that the proper ordinance
be adopted by the board so that he
might make the appointment. This
was referred to the police committee.
The mayor in another letter sug-
gested the laying out of an athletic
field on the poorhouse tract. This
was referred to the poor committee.
The streets and sewers committee
had referred to it letter from the
mayor in which he said he had re-
ceivtos numerous complaints from
residents in the Lehigh Park section
OF the city asking that the streets be
improved. The streets are almost
impossible, the mayor stated. and lie
urged temporary repairs before Sc
we're weather sets in.

hazards are great in the New Bruins
