Well now whaddya make of [http://books.google.com/books?id=-eoaAAAAYAAJ this]? Apparently McHugh and the city marshall, [[Ed A. Marshall]], had a racket of accusing women of running "bawdy-houses" to extort money. Besides that, it seems very clear that McHugh was still mayor in at least August 1897, a full two years after our dates — which means our entire mayoral timeline may be unreliable. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 08:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:The timeline I got from the City Clerk states that McHugh was Mayor in 1895 and 1897, serving less than a full year each time. It doesn't get month specific unfortunately but it does indicate that each mayor following also served a portion of those years. Here's the relevant part from the Clerk's timeline:
<pre>1893-1894 W.E. Anderson
1895 Pat McHugh
Under New Charter (By an act of the State Legislature which provided for a mayor and city Aldermen)
1895-1896 W.E. Anderson
1897 Pat McHugh
1897-1898 W.H. Northrup</pre>
I've been meaning to go in and correct our timeline (which is 97% accurate) to bring it in line with the Clerk's, but, eh, been busy. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 14:58, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
