WANT TO BE SANITARY INSPECTOR.

BOARD OF Heaith Examined Candidates
Last Evening.
The board Of health held a civil ser.
vice examination last evening to deter
mine upon the worthiness of those who
were aspiring to become the successor
Of Sanitary Inspector Mix, whose resig.
nation was accepted by the board soma
time since. There were twenty-six ap-
plicants, and nearly every trade and
business was represented. 1t took two
hours to make the examination and
nearly three hours to take one hundred
ballots to convince the members of the
board that it was useless for them to
choose, last evening, the successful
man.
At the close of the one hundredth ball
lot, which was taken a few minutes be~
fore twelve o'clock, the board adjourn~
ed to meet ait the call of the president.
The leading candidates at this staga
of the proceedings were w. w. Jones,
G. A. Sanford E. L. Smith and L. Num-
delin. The position will, it is said, go
to either Jones or Sanford. The Ques-
tions asked We're:
What is your conception of the du-
ties of a sanitary inspector?"
What is an unsanitary nuisance?"
why should a sink be trapped?"
Under what circumstances would a
cesspool be a nuisance?"
What are the most common causes
of unsanitary houses?"
Under what conditions might a
house and its surroundings be unsani-
tary?"

ing.

AT meeting of the Blues, held in
their room in the armory last evening,
First Lieutenant Arthur B. Smith was
elected captain in place of Captain

signed. Lieutenant Smith was elected
on the first ballot, which resulted as
follows: Lieutenant Smith, As; Lieu
tenant Young, Z; blank, /. Private
GaudereauX was elected first lieutenant
to take Lieutenant Smiths place, made
vacant by his promotion. Two ballots
We're taken for first lieutenant the first
of which was an informal one, and

been taken Sergeant Newbold withdrew
his name and the next ballot was made
formal 1t resulted as follows; Lieu

"a; Sergeant NeWbold, 6; blank, l.
The choice of Lieutenant Smith as
captain gives universal satisfaction to
the members of the company, as he is
a very popular and highly efficient
officer, who will probably do much to
bring the Blues UP to a place in the
regiment as honorable as any it has
ever held.
