The first meeting of the newly
elected city administration was held
last Tuesday evening. Former May­
or Moulton opened the meeting and
turned it over to the new mayor, J.
M. Smith, and council
One of the first actions of
the
new council was to order the"sllent
policemen” that have been pointing
out the center of some of the inter—
sections in the city streets removed.
These gentry are now lined up out-
slde the city hall waiting to
be
smashed up into building blocks.
This measure was taken t ecause it
was considered dangerous o leave
the obstructions in the ce>. er of the
streets. A less promin t monu­
ment will doubtless be
bstltuted
later. In the meantime, say city
officials, any violations a the traf­
fic ordinances regarding 1 e cutting
of corners will be vigor îsly en­
forced.
The city council and p ibe force
agreed to work with the losest co­
operation in the enforcen nt of all
laws, especially those reg' .lag the

Mayor Smith ’s Inaugural
Address Before Council
Mayor J. M. Smith submitted the
following address to the new council
and the people of the city at large
Tuesday night:
“As Mayor of Tillamook City, and
■s the custom in the past has been
or the mayor-elect to set forth his
lews on matters vital to the best
interests of the city and its citizens,
1 therefore present to you. a few of
t ' problems as I see them, and it is
i'h much optimism that I address
. tu upon the conditions, future and
present, in our city.
' The existing conditions have been
j 11 handled and dealt with by our
retiring city administration,
and
with the exception of a very few
matters that are on the table, the
new administration will start off
their work feeling that, if we can
so pilot the old ship of admhiistra-
tion on the sea of problems that are
bound to confront us, keep her
on
an even keel and the machinery
working, with each member of the
crew’ doing his part? then, w’hen we
reach port two years hence, you will
have good cause to say ‘Well done,
my .ood and faithful servant.” With
the aid and assistance of the people
of this city I firmly believe that we
can accomplish this end, and I so-
licit your moral support in all mat-
ters that are for the welfare of our
city and community.
“Taxation is a problem that has
and probably will ever be, a topic
that any new officer can lean on,
provided however that they lean on
the top side with a tendency to keep
it down rather than on the under
side with a tendency to lift it
higher.
“I do not believe that we can ev-
er expect our taxes to be as they
were previous to the war, for the
reason that we are living in a much
more extravagant and modern period.
I do not sanction extravagance
in
any form, and it will be my policy
to expel it wherever possible and for
every dollar we spend I want a dol­
lar received, and in making this a
CHURCH BREAK-
FASTSUCCESS
Last Sunday morning the men’s
class of the First Christian church
of this city tendered a ham and egg
breakfast to which was invited any­
one who might be interested in a
feed. It was the Annual Church
Day of the congregation. The break­
fast took place from 8:30 to 9:30.
About fifty men attended.
Several Interesting speakers had
the floor at different times, one of
which was Dr. J. E. Shearer, who
struck a popular chord when he said
that he had heard of the Lord’s
Supper but he had never heard of
the Preacher’s Breakfast before.
‘‘The church that is going to thrive,”
continued the Doctor, “must cooper­
ate with the minister and help him
in all his problems. If a church is
going to be a leader in the comrnun
ity it must put on the best show in
town.” Dr Shearer complemented
the teacher of the class, Rev. George
Harness, saying that he certainly
knew how to reach men, through
their stomachs; and that the get
together meetings were a step in tht
tight direction.
Rgille W. Watson gave a hlstorl
cal sketch of the work of the mission
Sunday Schools in China, whet
he
had spent some time. Henry Ten
shaw made Dome complimentary re
marks regarding the work of
the
men's class. Mayor J. M. Smith
spoke favorably of the work of the
class and joined the organization.
The remarks of Rev. Harness were
ft. the «fleet that there would be
a
session of the class every Sunday
from 10 to 11 A. M.. and that the
organization would be known as the
Everyman’s class and that he pre-
trrred to be dubbed “Everyman’s
Friend”
Next Sunday morning it is plan­
ned that the class will be privileged
t listen to a debate between Dr. J.
E. Shearer with the affirmative and
Rev. Geo. Harness on the negative
on the subject of “Predestination and
Foreordination.’’
The extra program for last Sun­
day's Annual Church
Day
was
preaching by Rev. C. F. Swander
of Portland, and Mrs. H M Kendall
of McMinnville, who spoke on Mis­
sionary work of the Reorganized
Women's Mission society. This or
ganization now has sixty one mem ­
bers. Sixteen new members joined
the church Sunday. The day cloeed
with a watch night meeting by the
young people of the congregation.
