The Mayors Appointrnen.s.

Mayor How's first official act will
m aet the the approval of every right
m nded citizen, and manifests . desire
On his part to subserve the bsst inter-
ests of the city wisely and independ-
emily. He nominated to the council
Byron f. Carr to be chief Of police,
although he we'll knew that Mr.. Carr
had not supported him before the
election. h recognized the eminent
fitness of the man for the place. 1t
was case of the mayor rising above
tn, petty considerations which are too
apt to influence men in official posi-
tions. Officer Carr is no experiment,
and his equal for the position could
not be found in the city. In fact few
cities OF this class are fortunate
enough to have an officer SO thorough
ly qualified for the position.
In naming the members of the Libra
ry Board he was equally felicitous,
and was controlled by the same consid-
erations. Messrs. Hamilton, dubois
ind Sprague have shown peculiar apt
itude, the two first named having
served for years, and they have grown
to be part of the very library it elf
so closely have they been identified
with it. No two men in the city have
b zen more faithful and self-sa .rificing
than they, and the rare excsllency of
our library is largely at,ri outable to
them.
In the appointment of J. F.
Cooper to be clerk the city retains the
services of an efficient aud accomo-
dating official, whose recCras are al
ways in order and whose accuracy can
be relied upon in confidence.
The reappointment of Harry Parker
to be superb 1tendent of the water
WORKS and fife warden meets with geu-

tio1 since the death of Capt. Coe, and

The mayor named no candidate for
street commissioner, praferring to wait
until the street committee is named,
with whom he will confer that the Sc
lection may be satisfactory to it's
members, under whose direction the
commissioner performs his duties.
In all these appointments the mayor
gives assurance to the city that his
a ADMINISTRATION will be broad, fair,
magnanimous and clean.

A SEWER SYSTEM.

In the interest of public health,
as we'll as to subserve the conven,
fence of large class of our citi-
zens, a system of sewers for this
city is advocated by Mayor How.
1t is not possible at present to in,
dictate the exact cost, nor is it ex-
pedient to specifically designate
the streets in which it would be
WiSeSt to construct them-but it is
certain that the construction viii
not be entered upon until the mat
ter has been submitted 10 ex-
perts. That is mere matter of
detail. The necessity must be
very generally recognized by our
citizens. The city has an excellent
system of water works, and their
efficiency is seriously crippled by
reason of no safe method of dispos-
ing of the water after its uses. So
far as public health is concerned it
is a question whether it would not
be better to have no waterworks
at all, than to be without a sewer
system to take away the water SO
conducted into and used about the
city.
The mayor has consulted with a
number of citizens who have eX
pressed themselves not only favor
able to sewers, but willing to en-
gage in putting them in, bearing
the expense necessarily entalled
upon their property. It will cost
the city at large a trifle compared
with the benefits. for the principal
burden will fall upon property
along the line Of the sewer.
Sank Centre affords peculiar adj
vantages for cheap and effective
drainage. Not only would the
cost of excavation be comparative
ly Cheap, but by reason OF easy
gradesthere are nogreat topograph-
ical difficulties to be overcome.
Let us all join hands heartily for
this much needed Improvement.
