The inauguration of the city gov- 
ernment of 1905 will take place in the 
City hall on Monday noon at 12 
o'clock, at which time the customary 
exercises will be carried out, and 
Mayor-elect Wallis will deliver the 
inaugural address, which is anticipated 
to be an epoch-making message. There 
are many things which will require 
looking after this coming year, and it 
is expected that Mr. Wallis will make 
several terse recommendations. Im- 
mediately following the exercises the 
inaugural banquet will be served in 
Thorndike hall. The joint convention 
for the election of city officers for the 
year will be held at 3 o'clock.

Anannouncement that has received 
favorable commendation is that of the 
purchase of the Ropes - Bates - Burn- 
ham-Butman property on Cabot street 
and Franklin place by a syndicate, of 
which Ulysses G. Haskell is at the 
head. It is contemplated in the near 
future that a two-story brick block 
will be built on the site for business 
purposes. 
The aldermanic pot has been stirred 
up by Aldermen Desmond and Wood- 
bury in the announcement of their 
candidacies for the presidency of the 
board. By unwritten law the presi- 
dency has always been given to the 
alderman-at-large, but it is proposed 
to make a change this year and _rele- 
gate this custom to innocuous desue- 
tude. The plan, however, does not 
meet with favorable consideration in 
the city, as it is believed that the 
president of the board, who acts in 
the absence of the mayor, should be 
the representative of the whole city, 
rather than of one particular ward.
