Mayor, Fellow Councilmen and Friends: ' Making an initial appearance in the City Council as Alderman is somewhat similar to being introduced on an initiation occasion in some lodge, or perhaps it may be com- pared with a scholar's first day in a new school, so I take S this opportunity to tell you I am glad to be numbered among you and that I hope to receive the guidance and assistance of you who have had council experience, and in this I make an appeal for the help of my friend, Alderman E. L. Kappel- man, whose record is known not only to the great Fifth Ward but to the city at large. • In order to afford those of you who do not know me an opportunity to guage my views I make these remarks as a basis for judgment. "Our City to maintain its identity as Evanston is confronting a problem, and it is well that we who are elected to serve the interests of the city ever keep in mind all problems that may tend to impair or destroy, the self- preservation of our city. Let it be known here and now that I am not in favor of annexation to Chicago. Evanston is my home, it is my birthplace, and though I live to be 100 years old I hope that when I die that this my home city will always be Evanston-" The business men of Evanston form the barometer for the future guidance of our city, and I wish to :g' o ,�,,.on record as being favorable to any action that will help '�f�dYncrease their business, be that the annexation of . the Tories "west of Evanston, larger signs, wider s:treets,higher`buih'iings, bet- ter lighting, or whatever they deem necessary. To the business ' men of Evanston we owe our greatest debt and our actions should at all times be favorable to them when their organization, the Chamber of Commerce, endorses or sponsors any movement for the betterment of the business menns interest. Let me say to you men of the City Council that I have been elected as an Alderman of the Fifth Ward on a pledge of service, and in this I need and ask for your assistance and co-operation, but from you men this aid and advice must • come knowingly, that I stand for justice to all people, re- gardless of race, color or religion. This our first meeting tonight is a happy event in my life, and I sincerely trust -that the full term of my elec- tion will be one of happiness and of constructive work. I than: you. Peter N . Jans, Alderman Fifth Ward. Opening address of Peter N. Jans, first City Council meeting of newly elected Aldermen, April 15, 1924.

Honorable i:.ayor and Aldermen Evanston, Illinois. Uentlemen: When returns began coming in from the 1923 tax levy on Street and Bridge tax, and it .was discovered that the amounts were running;- short of the amounts levied, the I,Layor and I called • on the Date Clerk, whose duty it is to spread the tax, in the County Clerk's Office, and he adznitte d that he scaled the tax in accordance with the Juul Law. He insisted that the law provided that this tax was subject to scaling and we insisted to the con- trary. he called our_ attention to certain Supreme Court decisions handed down about the time the tax was scaled, which seemed., on. • a superficial reading, to justify his contention, but we were cable, after argument, to convince him that he was in error. How- ever, the tax having been spread and collected, there is, so far as I am aware, no redress except to live within our income, in asmuch as it appears that he made an honest mistake under misap- prehension of the law. Vle are sure that no further repetition of his error will occur and that he will spread the tax for 1924 to the extent of the full a+rnount levied.. Respectfully submitted, Signed: Frank T . Murray Corporation Counsel. 15.

Thar might have been the result if Lee had not been so near I cannot bear to think, but he was near enough to get hold of the little fellow and carried him in - a very much frightened small boy to a very grateful parent.

These gentlemen have given unsparingly of their time far a total of thirtyfive years, without hope of material reward. Their incentive must have been a high order of vivic duty. It shpuld be in order and I trust quite appropriate to recount 7grief ly some of the things which they were proud to do, and for which the City is thankful. I desire to make no• eulogy, only to state a few facts. ALDERMAN BAILEY: During hl.s first year in the Council • as Chairman of the Committee on Health, he was directly responsible for the City taking over that important service of Infant Welfare. For six years this venerable member for the Third Ward, has been Chairman of. the Imprortant Committee on Streets, and it is here that he has left his mark of real accomplishments. When the new High School opened and transportation became an acute problem the City was threatened with being overrun with nondescript busses. -,He went to Mr. Britton I. Budd and Mr. Clement Smith and by - making a direct appeal to their civic pride, the present bus line, with all its shortcoming, but nevertheless responsibly operated, was the result. He has.,, with Alderman Kappelman, persistently fought for the motorization of t.10 6 P� street department, including the motor driven street lvJ !� sweepers, until today the department is as good as. any N Ci-ty in America.. He was the prime mover for a modern incinerator which has been so successfully operated that most N of us do not know tht the major part of the City°s refuse is destroyed in the very heart of the City. His Ward activities have resulted in the Lake Front Park from Keeney Street to Calvary Cemetery, a lasting monument to his foresight. He takes great pride in the boast that • his ward has: more paved alleys than any other ward in the City - only three blocks unpaved today. ALDERMAN EIDEN: Thirteen Years. Chairman of the Auditing , Railroad, Police and Building Committees. His outstanding task was during his last year, when a complete -revision of the Building Code was effected. Alderman KAPPELMAN: Twelve Years., Chairman Fire, Lighting and Police Committees. While on the Fire Committee,,. the plan of complete motorization was consum- mated. He secured the cooperation of the Chicago Fire Underwriters and the perpetual. loan to the Cityof para- phernalia, used in protection of property from damage by water. As a member of the Street Committee, he conceived and has successfully carried out negotiations with property owners- whereby several miles of streets have been widened by cutting back curb linesand without cost to the City. During the past year he has by untiring effort pre- vented a complete breakdown of the morale of the Police Department. For conscientious: service above and beyond the call of duty, almost to the exclusion of his private business, Alderman Kappelman has given much to the City of Evanston. ALDERMAN TRIPP: Two Years. Chairman Health, Railroad Committees. His vocation and training as an. Engineer has been invaluable to the City. • Mr. Mayor, we would be remiss in our duties, and certainly lacking in appreciation, if we were to sit mute and permit faithful service to go unmentioned. I regret that the record of our proceedings does not ordinarily provide for these remarks, but I think it to be in order that this Council instruct the Clerk to make brief mention of what I have just said, and that in this small way, we record public appreciation and gratitude for a service honorably and efficiently rendered. I move a rising vote in appreciation of the services to the City by Aldermen Tripp, Bailey, Eiden and Kappelman. The motion was seconded by Alderman Seaver and was carried. Alderman Kapplman then made a few brief remarks regarding his, services as an Alderman, and thanked the Mayor, different Committees, etc. for the co-operation he has received.
