Mayor Dahlman spoke at length, ask
ing the people to be patient with the new
commission, which, he aald. weald work
under the handicap of th old admin
istration. Under the old charter, funds
were Inadequate to carry out the desires
of the people, he declared, and until i
the charier was changed, as he hoped It
would be within a year or two, too much
out not to be expected.
He thanked the people again for the
result of the election and asked for co- '
operation. He said the new commission
ers are all efficient men and he ex
pressed complete confidence in their
abilities to discharge the duties of their
offices without calling down just criti
cism. Kaalpmeat for Fire Depertaacat.
In one thing ha asked for the help of
tha business men. Ths fire department,
he pointed out. did not have proper
equipment and recalled two fires within
the last month, when the entire depart
ment was fighting the flames. Another
fire at that time In any large hotel, busi
ness building or In the wholesale dis
trict would have proved that the depart
ment needed mora equipment, lie wanted
the business men to help convince the
people that fir bonds ought to be voted.
T. J. Flynn was formally elected city
clerk and assumed the duties of his new
office. H said b would work with th
administration, as hs had in the past, and
discharg tha duties of his office to the
best of ala ability.
H. B. rieharty followed Mr. Flynn
with a congratulatory speech and pre
sented the commission with s hugu
sonar of forget-me-nots and roses, th
gift of the Dahlman Democracy club,
"which la composed of democrats, re
publicans, socialists and those without
any party affiliation." he said.
Ryder Speaka lor ComatBeloaere.
Jack Ryder, for the commission,
thanked the Dahlman club and the Labor
league and th Gala city club. He aald
the new commlaalen was unsalmous In
going about Ita work la the belief that It
had no enemies to punish and no ven
geance to take. "We have wiped the
elate clean of bitterness," hs said.
Friends of the new commissioners
heaped their desks high with bouquets of
roses. Mogy Bernstein and Charley Bp
stein each presented a big bunch of roses
to the new commission, with best wishes
for a successful administration. Several
