GOING OITT OF OFFICE.
,rry OFFICERS WHO WILL LOSE THEIR PLACES, AND
49,. ,.,,, ,ur VACANCIES.

CRY ovr,cpps WHO WILL LOSE THEIR PLACES, AND
MEN WHO WANT TO FILL THE VACANCIES.
The terms of Office of number of city oiIeIaIs
will expire May and the app9i NJ pnsrd Of Alder
men The possibility that the new city charter;
Which has passed tie STATE Senate tEo.a might sn
pointments has kept the ofce-seekers IRON
pressing their claims upon the Mayor rlir
within few days. Now however, IL II gellria ,,o
believed that the Assembly will either strange the
charcr or DELAY it's passage, 70 that the yacancleS
will have to he filed by the Mayor under the pres
ent law. As the Senate took three months 10 con
slider the charter there is not much probability "l
it's becoming law very soOn for II has not YET Ic'
even considered the Assembly. This has inspired
the ofiice-seekers with hope, and they are DeStl"s
the Mayor with their claims"
The following are the officers whose terms expire

tainty about the time When lho'l9N &

Mayor Cooper claimed that II expired IN May, ioI',
but Mr.. Dunlap maintains thar u docs not eNpIe y.
least until july of this year, while he Is uncertain
as 10 whether the law limits his term Of office at all
II custom makes law now as oi 9ld' II Is lIS n2
certain that Mr.. Dunlap is entitled TO his $4,000
salary for life as he has been holding office from
the time when the memory of man runneih not 10
the contrary. Two, years ago Law was pttsu
reducing the salary of the ComnisSl"ner
of Jurors to $1,000 year; so II Mayor
Grace succeeds better than Mayor Cooper, and
gets a successor 70 Mr.. Dunlap confirmed. the city
will save $40 600 a year. in June the terms of seven
School Commissioners will end, and about tlic same
time the terms of Office of seven bridge trustees VIII
run out.
Mayor Grace saws he will not make any nominal
tiOns next week but rs tho charter requires noulna-
tons to be made within ten days from TIE
time vacancy occurs he VIII no! have long 10 TIC
liberate OF await action AZ Albany.
The Mayor disappointed the politicians 50 huch
in his appointment of Police Commissioner that
&c
upOn him the importance OF saving the country ny
appointing them to office. If the new charter
should pass and they found themselves cgiSalrd
out they would lie still entitled 10 their salaries Tor
the full time under the Constitution of the STAT"
and as that would suit most Of them much better
than being Obliged to make a show of attending to
duty, they are eager for appointments
Ii is believed that Police Commissioner Matthew's
and Park Commissioner Ollltic will I've rcIpp0ute,l
William f. Roberts, who il regarded an expert IN
real estate matters * strongly urged for the Natacy
in the Tax OhiCc and he will probably be appointed
to that or some equally important place. vincent
King has secured several petitions from Insurance
men asking for his rcapp0lntmcnt Ia the
Fire Department but his chances are not re-
gar,lcd ~ very good. Health Commissioner Jane
way will undoubtedly he succeeded by ne"
man, probably physician OF experience
who can afford 10 give his attention 10 the duties of
the office Townsend Cox says hc does not want Ia
be an Oiiicch0lder any longer ana although NY
| Chamberlain Tappnn is candidate tor rrappoihl-
| ment lie will doubtless be succeeded by some one
else.
claims for office are now awaiting the constipation
of the Mayor Alderman kcnev, Hugh H. Moore,
James f.. Morrison, Richard }. Morn SSon; H. T. iur-
