under Mayor Durland.
The announcement of the reappolnt-
nuMit of Mr. Htizen was received with
applause. Councilman Kanffman
stated that the retention of the old
city attorney would save a consider
able amount of money to the city be
cause Mr. llazcn has all the suits in
which the city is interested well in
hand.
The selection of Alex Peters as
chief was also well received. Mr.
Peters was until recently steward at
the state hospital. There was hearty
applause when Mayor Sturgeon an
nounced that he would retain Night
Olllcer Kell. No action was taken on
the Junction appointment.
The council showed some hesitancy
in approving the appointment of
Henry G. Brneggeman as water com
missioner , due in part to the fact that
a petition signed by some 230 citizens
asked that Whter Commissioner
August Brummund be retained and In
part to the fact that Mr. Bruggeman's
eligibility was questioned on the
ground that his title as a free-holder
was not clear. Councilman Kauffman
as a member of the auditing com
mittee took occasion to speak of the
excellent condition in which Mr.
Brummund had kept the records and
collections of his ofllce.
The appointment of G. W. Lee us
street commissioner was confirmed.
