says. controls majority Of these de.
vices, and this Is the corporation It Is
designed to reach. The law department
has advised the alderman that such an
ordinance would be valid.
Alderman Duddleston can't swim.
Therefore he wants to navigate the
streets Of the Eleventh Ward In ferry.
boats or gOndOlas. He introduced an
order In the City Council Monday night
directing the Commissioner Of Public
Works to advertise for bids and let a
contract to the lowest responsible bid.
der for ferry on Ann street, between
Fulton ana Lake streets.
The aldermen received his proposition
with hilarity that Interrupted the
decOrum Of the Council for half nm
hour. but Mr.. DuddlestOn persisted In
making couple Of speeches, In which
he declared that during the recent
rains the streets In the Eleventh Ward
were impossible.
He said that the only way 10 get
about his ward was TO swim or use
boats. The Inhabitants were using gon-
dOlas. hut he preferred boats Of q more
substantial nature. He declared he
could not swim, and he could not cross
street In the present condition Of
things. He said that most Of the
Eleventh Ward streets ought to be nav.
igated by boats, but he wanted to make
a start with Ann street. where all the
paving was gone. He proposed that the
city construct landing places at Lake
ana Fulton streets.
Alderman NOvak moved to refer the
order to the committee on ancient his.
tory and geology, but Alderman bud.
dlestOn insisted on suspension of the q.
rules. to place his order on It's passage,
and demanded a roll call. Ten alder.
men voted for the motion. and the or.
der was placed on file.
The new County Commissioners will
meet to caucus on the patronage cues.
ton within few days. Most Of the
good appointments outside Of civil SER
Vice are controlled b. the President of
the Board, and II Ii understood Mr.. Ir.
win, who succeeds Mr.. Healy, will
make no changes In the more important
offices. Warden Graham OF the county
hospital and Warden LANCE of the
Dunning institutions will be retained,
County Agent Olsen Is also likely to,
Keep his present place. Joseph Caro-.

leaves u vacancy In the Sheriff's Office,
ana II Is reported that Dexter Burke

Sheriff Peters Is slated to hold his pOsi.
tlon under Magerstadt. p. j. Cahilrs
promotion to the office Of Clerk of the
Criminal Court leaves vacancy In the
chief bailiff's Office, for which there are
hundred and more applications. II
Dan Healy accepts the appointment Of
superintendent Of Public Service or
Chief Clerk OF the Board of Assessors,
1t Is expected II. J. Dwyer will be given
place Mt some other crib. Dwyer
would Hike to be clerk of the Drainage
Board but 1t Is not believed his pOliti-
cal pull is strong enough to secure 1t
for him.

Sheriff elect Magerstadts choicest
gift Is OF course chief deputy sheriff.
Charles w. Peters has held 1t four
years now, ana the betting Is that he
VIII stay. He has been In the Sherlff's
office twelve years. The chief deputy
Is really the sheriff. Most of his bust
ness IL with the lawyers. There Is u
strong movement among the lawyers to
have Peters retained, as there Is no
question about his familiarity with the
duties of the place.

Bob Mcdonald Is slated for either
chief bailiff to succeed p. j. Cahill, or
chief clerk to the Sheriff, to succeed
william Weber. Bob Is Perry Hulrs
chief lieutenant In the Third Ward, and
was superintendent OF streets during
the Swift administration. The job Is
coming to Hull and Mcdonald because
Of the excellent showing made by the
Third Ward for Magerstadt.
