Street Wharf.
Will Ashe the Latest on the Slate to
Succeed Chief Wharf,
finger Boobar.

The Harbor Commissioner gave the poll
ticians little surprise last Tuesday after
noon. When the regular business of the
session was finished and all the interested
spectators had vanished, Mr.. Colnon
called his observation-disclosures together,
saying he had an appointment to make.
This was somewhat unusual, but as Com
missioners Cole and Chad bourne knew
that the next position vacant was Com
missioner Colnon's no caucus or confer
ence was necessary. name something
like Smith was mentioned to succeed
Lavary as wharfinger at Howard street
wharf and all the Commissioners assented.
Yesterday it came to light that Mike
Smith, who has been q familiar figure
around the new City Hall and State Capt.
tol for many yours, was appointed to q
berth worth 1925 month.
Inside information is to the effect that
Commissioner Colnon did not want to
make the appointment. While nothing
derogatory of Smith can be said, the belief
is well founded that his services as guard
at San Questin and his desertion from the
Republican party to support Governor
Budd were not qualifications to commend
support Governor Budd, whom he has
known from boyhood, and the Governor
being human, is accredited with having
espoused Smiths cause. Why the Com
.missioners should have taken star-chamber
proceedings to elect Smith is still some
what surprising.
Next September the term of Chief
Wharfnger Boobar will expire and already
there is much speculation as to the ap-
pointment of his successor. Commissioner
Cole was interviewed last evening, and
while he was reluctant to speak of
Smiths election, did not hesitate to say
that a contest would be made to retain
Boobar.
II do not know" said Mr.. Cole, show
Commissioner Chadb bourne will vote, but
will insist as Republican and as Com
missioner, with the good OF the service in
view, that capable man shall not be set
aside to make room for some one else. No,
| did not protest against Smiths appoint
ment; hardly understood It,"
From sources outside of the commission
it is learned that Will Ashe is on the slate
for chief wharfnger, but his appointment
cannot be made unless Chadbourne goes
over bag and baggage to the Democratic
camp.
Martin Kelly has not Jared 80 badly on
the water front as some people fancy He
has fireman, sweeper and a carpenter
on the payroll.
