Mayer Halliday's nominations, which
were all unanimously confirmed by the city
council, will commend themselves at once
to every citizen as eminently fitting. For
the position of city comptroller, Mr.. NJ. j.
Howley is especially we'll adapted by long
experience as an accountant, etc, as well as
in other respects. The duties Of the office
will require much attention during the frst
year; much research in the old records OF
the city will be necessary, and Mr.. Howley
is to some extent familiar with those rec
ords, has the time and patience to look
them through and the tact to arrange all
matters in an intelligent way so that all
may understand just exactly how every
thing stands. In the selection Of Mr.. l.,
II. Myers as city marshal the mayor met
fully the expectations and hopes of all
those who desired to Sue the police depart
ment of the city in the hands OF live, en-
ergetic man, shrewd, watchful, not rash, in
full sympathy with the mayor in desire to
suppress and regulate and punish crime and
criminals in the most effectual and at the
same time least expensive and offensive man.
nerpossible. Mr.. Myers official term just
closed has been one of the most satistsc.
tory in every way to the general public. As
chief of police he has kept perfect harmony
always among the officers and maintained a
service that afforded better protection
against crime and criminals and preserved
better order generally with less nois than
most former incumbents Of bis Office main
tanned. As health officer Mr.. Myers ren
dered invaluable service and did probably
more than any other single man TO render
the city clean and control and exterminate
disease when it appeared. L. Fl. Myers has
held with credit positions commonly con-
sidered more exhated than that he now
holds, but his present position is one Of the
greatest importance to the city and it is
filed by the right man for the place. The
Arrangement by which the worthy widow
of Andrew Cane is made the beneficiary of
the office of city jailor, will meet the gen
eral approval of the public. The Jail has
been well cared for by Mr.. Jno Cane dur
ing the term for which Andrew Cane had
been appointed, and his retention insures
continued good service. Mr.. N. A. Devore
knows everybody in town and will be able
to find and gather up every dollar Of street
taxes due the city. That the mayor could
not have selected man better qualified to
fill the Office of corporation council than
Mr.. W. B. Gilbert is self-evldent PROPOSE
ton to nearly everybody. Mr. Gilbert
combines the highest legal talent with a
thorough knowledge of all the important
matters ut law in which the city is now in
volved and has proven himself most
watchiul and energetic counselor for the
city 10 the past. The mayors other ap-
pointments will doubtless be in harmony
with those so far made. Only the police
force remains to be appointed and for this
