REELECTED CITY OFFICIALS
J, GET OFF TO GOOD YEARS
START; C|LLARD is MAYOR

previous council DaCk In tnelr OLD
positions, with but one exception,
the newly elected council of Wins
low, at their first regular meeting
since the election, Tuesday night
got off to a good start. A maxi
mum of business was gone through
with, the feature of which was the
election of A. E. Gillard, who re-
ceived the highest number of votes
in the general town election, as
mayor, and if the first meeting may
be used as guide, the present
council should enjoy a harmonious
term.
With the exception of the posi-
tion of city engineer, which was
vacated by H. r. Lendecke, all Of
flee holders were reappointed For
the position of city engineer, the
council felt that a man should be
employed who combined engineer
ing with accounting experience, as
the press of clerical work in the
city clerks office demands extra
clerical help. Such man has not
been located as yet, but the office
will be filed in short time, the
council asserted.
The responsibility of city pur-
chasing agent and building inspec-
tor was temporarily placed on city
clerk Murphy, since both these
duties call for constant attention.
Three applications were received
for the position of city clerk, the
applicants being c. L. Murphy, in
cumbent, M. L. Davis, and Frank
Siegmund. Murphy's application
was accepted by the council by a
unanimous vote.
No applications other than those
of the present office holders were
received for other city jobs. Of
ficers reappointed were c. w. Harp,
marshal; r. L. Neill, assistant
marshal; Chas. Lundin, fireman;
DR.. G. P. Sampson, superintendent
of board of health; c. 0. Nesting,
police magistrate; Geo. c. Jackson,
fire chief; and P. A. Sawyer, city
attorney.
The absence of a city engineer
caused the tabling of a petition for
an extension of the sewer line be-
tween Aspinwall and Oak, on the
west side. The homes for which
the sewer service is wanted are in
process of construction at present,
and the council hopes to have an
engineer on the job by the time
the places are completed.
The police and fire departments
had an easy time in May, law
breakers being few, and fires con-
spicuous by their absence, accord
ing to the monthly reports read.
Eleven cases were brought be-
fore Police Judge Nesting.
AS an aftermath to the contro-
versy regarding the right of the
city to sell ice to Winslow people,
a resolution was adopted by the
mayor and council declaring such
an act to be legally correct, and
further declaring the resolution to
be in force from the time of adop-
ton. The resolution, in full, will
be found elsewhere in this weeks
Mail.
The imperative need of capable
supervision of garbage removal
during summer months was called
to the attention of the council by
Pete Mccoy, who was formerly
sanitary inspector, and the council
voted to re-establish the office un-
til such time as conditions warrant
a different method of handling the
situation.
In all probability the new city
charter, which is to be drafted by
the newly elected board of free
holders, will provide for a city
garbage service. 1t was pointed out
that under this plan it could be
made compulsory for everyone to
provide a satisfactory method of re-
moving refuse.
All committees were not named
at Tuesdays meeting, but Mayor
Gillard appointed councilman Black
and Brennan to work with council
man Evans on the auditing COM
mittee, so that several accounts
that demand attention can be met
at once. The mayor also appointed
Douglas, Black and Evans as a
budget committee to work with the
city clerk in preparing the budget
for the coming year.
Saturday, June 5th, at 500 p. m.
was set as the time for the first
meeting of the board of freeholders
by Mayor Gillard.
In order to insure proper handl-
ing of Winslow's aerial affairs,
which are sure to increase In the
near future, the council voted to
appoint 1t. C. j. McQuillan as the
chairman of the city aviation COM
mittee. He will be assisted by
councilman Black and c. L. Giragi
in the work of furnishing informa-
ton regarding northern Arizona
landing fields, routes, and condi-
tions to other aviation centers, and
in entertaining visiting flyers.
A new addition to Winslow's po-
lice force will be made at an early
date. Feeling that speeders and
