There will be many changes among
the appointive officials of the city as
the days go by, to be made by the

rlmors from time to time as to whom
the fortunate ones would be.
Mayor Land said last night to a
Record Union reporter that he would
submit only a few nominations to the
Trustees at their session this evening,
and he preferred not to make them
public before that time.
1t will be a pretty big stack of coin
that Treasurer Frost will take charge
of this forenoon, upward of half mill
ion dollars, all told, some S246,O0 OF
which represents the savings OF the
Funded Debt Commission, and on
which the public are paying interest
Just the same as if ii were not the city S
money. 1t is understood that Mr.. Frost
will keep the money in the vault Of the
National Bank Of D. o. Mills & Co.

o'clock to-day between the old and the
new Boards of City Trustees, Mayor
Hubbard and Mayor-elecr Land, when

properly the board as reorganiZed by
the election thereto of new members
will have to pass on two OF Mayor
Hubbard's nominations-Henry Balsz
for police patrol driver and II. >. Kan
son for School Director, to succeed
Henry P Brown, elected as Trustee
1t is an unusual thing for an incoming
administration to have to act on the
nominations made by an outgoing May
or. and considerable interest IS mani
tested as to the outcome.
In his interview last night Mr.. Land
said he had been greatly harassed by
personal and political friends in the IN
terest of certain aspirants for positions
under the City GCvernmsnt, and against
others. These things, however, VIII
soon have passed. In all his Official
acts. he said, he desired and intended
to be governed by what he regards as
the welfare of the city and its people.
mo matter what some may claim,
said the Mayor-elect, nobody mas
string on me- l made a fair, manly
fight for the Mayoralty, and received
the support of many Of the better class
of citizens I am in a position to act
freely and Independently, and if my ef-
forts TO give the city good and clean
administration and to leave record of
which l shall not be ashamed, are balk-
1 or prevented, then let the blame rest
here it belongs.
Yes, / shall send a. short message
TO the Trustees tonight, in which
shall briefly and in a general way out
line my policy"
Several of the City Trustees said last
night that D. Mckay viii be elected
President of that body tonight, and
that he has no opposition.
