The Washington Republican Washington County Friday May 10, 1901 City Council Meeting. The first regular meeting of the city council for this year was held Monday night in the council chamber. The business of most importance was appointments of officers for the year. There was but one change from last year, that of manager of the opera house. E.A. VINCENT did not care to continue as manager, so Howard WEST was appointed to succeed him. W.J. TOBEY was appointed city treasurer, T.P. RONEY city attorney, Wm. GREEN city clerk, Albia CONKLIN city marshal and F.A. McCULLEY street commissioner. C.N. BULLIS and Henry KING were granted licenses to run billard halls during the year, but restricted from having card tables in the billiard rooms.
