THE NEW APPOINTEES.
We believe that every citizen of
this town will approve of the re
marks of Mayor Patterson at the
meeting of the council last evening.
There is no doubt that the city coun
cil is the greatest factor in cromoting
peace or stirring up strife that there
is in the community. Mr. Patterson’s I
statement that the council desired (
the co-operation of the citizens in all
its acts, will be received, we believe,
in the spirit in which it was given,
and if the citizens will act upon this
invitation, and give of their honest
and conscientious opinions for the j
development of the town, there is no j
doubt that the prediction of the may- i
or to the effect that when the pres- j
exit council goes out of office it will |
have re-established the Citv Council j
in the esteem of the people.
While the new council has not as |
yet entered actively upon ’he duties
of the office, the appointments made
last night may be taken as an indica
tion of their future actions The se
lection of the city officers, we believe,
was wisely made and will meet with
the approval of every citizen. Mr.
Scott, the City Marshal, has held
this office for several years. That he
is an efficient officer has been well
demonstrated in the past and his ap
pointment to this position was de
served.
Mr. Graham also succeeded him-1
self as city engineer. He has occu
pied the position continuously since
the establishment of the steam fire
equipment some years ago. and has
always been found competent and on
the job when his services were
needed. His reappointment will re
ceive the approval of every citizen.
Of the three applicants for the of
fice of City Clerk, there was little but
personal friendship to guide choice.
All three were unquestionably com
petent men for the position, and the j
fact that five ballots were taken be
fore a choice was made is an indica
tion that each candidate stood high
in the estimation of the councilmen.
Mr. Meals, who was finally elected, is !
a popular young man in the eommu- j
nity. and he will fill the office with i
credit.
E. G. Ames, who was chosen as city !
treasurer, succeeds himself to this po-1
sition. He has fully demonstrated j
hie fitness for the position, and his1
appointment was but a well-deserved j
recognition of his ability.
We do not believe men more effi- j
cient, nor more satisfactory to the *
community could have been selected, j
and the new council is to be congrat-!
ed upon the wisdom of their selec- !
lions. .;
The Italians are up against it at!

refuge for failure since language be-,
