in the Council Wednesday evening and
effected a re-organisation of that body
for the ensuing year. Councilman
A. Knapp, of the Second Ward, waa
elected president of the Council, de
feating H. E. Straight for the place.
City Recorder W. A. Dimick, waa re
elected by unanimous vote and will
serve another year.
Mayor Caufield announced the fol
lowing standing committees for the
ensuing year:
Finance Andresen, Rands and
Knapp.
Streets and Public Property
Rands, Williams, and Straight
Health and Police Straight, Har

Burns; Night Officer, 'E. L. Shaw;

Prosecutor, J. U. Campbell; Street
Commissioner, J. C. Bradley; City
Surveyor, H. A. Rands.
Mayor Caufield made a short inau
gural address in which he referred to
the financial condition of the city
which he considered not alarming. The
total of outstanding warrants in the
general fund is only a few hundred
dollars greater than a year ago, but
a greater deficit exists in the road
fund. But with the increase in the
assessable values of the city and an
additional levy of one mill for muni
cipal purposes, the Mayor believed
that the city will not only be enabled
to live within its means during the
ensuing year but at the same time ac
complish a very material reduction in
its obligations.
The annual report of City Recorder
Dimick showed that during the year
warrants aggregating $9397.19 had
been issued, on the general fund, two
of the principal items of expense be
ing Police $2262.65, lights, $2357.57.
The total receipts of the city during
Lthe year were $17,674.11 while the
disbursements for the same period ag
gregated $16,353.52. The total out
standing indebtedness of the city
closely approximates $100,000 and is
made up of the following items: Out
standing warrants general fund, $23,
637.28; bonds, $50,000; sewer improve
ment bonds, $27,368.39. During the
year bonds in the sum of $2000 were
redeemed, leaving a total bonded in
debtedness on January 1 of $75,230.81.
The bond of Jack R. Caufield, city
treasurer, in the sum of $5000 with
J. W. Cole and E. Matthies as sureties
having been approved by the Mayor,
was accepted and placed on file.
