Hie old city council met for the last time on Tuesday night and the new took charge of the destinies of Terre Haute. Routine business occupied the attention for some little time when the clerk read the certificates of elections. Mayor Kolaem then read "an address. He took a decided stand against the third term principle as applied to the holding of an executive office. He argued that the various departments under the city's control should make out estimates of expenses at the beginning of each year In order that the cutincil may know how much money will be needed and how beat to provide for meeting all expenses. The pavement of Main street was fayored on the grounds that the city debt will soon be reduced to the constitutional limit and the burden upon the tax-pay-ers would be light. The street would have been paved had it not been for objections of a technical nature, raised by some of the property owners of the street. He closed by thanking the council, officers and citizens for their hearty support during his four years of administration. The retiring councilmen then presented their successors. Jerry CSallivan brought down the chamber when he presented "Fatty" Weldele, as the only Democratic candidate elected this spring, jie presented in addition a large chair fqom the Democrats of the Fourth ward. Weldele is the largest man in town and the regular chair used by the city dads would have proven inadequate for Weldele's avoirdupois. Mayor Danaldson was then introduced. Upon taking the chair he made a few remarks. Among other things he said: "From time to time, I expect to make observations upon questions for the city's welfare which, I trust, will receive your earnest consideration and be passed upon in your best judgment. I might, however, mention the fact that the rate of interest now being paid is 5, 514 and 6 per cent., which should and no doubt could be reduced to 4 per cent., and perhaps to 3 per cent. The rate of taxation, it seems to me, ip also too high —91.25. Can it not be lowered and this great and prosperous city benefitted thereby?" The police board was selected as follows: Hybarger, Walsh and Storz. Steeg, Hertwig and Steel will compose the board of public improvements. Fire Chief Kennedy was reelected. Drs. Shaley, Moore and Spain were selected as members of the board of health.
