Mr. NJ Hanley may be the next CHIEF
of the Savannah fire department Mr.
nanley has been mentioned in this connec-
tion before. 5ut his candidacy did not
seem to be seriously regarded at FIRST.
Now, however, the report comes from sew
eral sources. among them some who are in
position 20 know whereof they speak that
Mr.. Hanley's election as the next chief
OF the fire department is practically fore
gone conclusion. one of the parties who
assured a Morning News reporter yes
terday that such is the case is gen
tleman IN close touch with the admins
tration. Another is himself candidate for
Che position Of fire chief and he stated
that ne had no doubt of the correctness OF
the report
The candidates for fire chief, so far as
known. are the present incumbent. John
L. Mcguire. Michael danley Thomas Bal
lantye. Jr., William b. Puder, and, per
haps Adolph Fernandez, the two latter
being eX-chefs of the department. Fire
Chief Mcguire. when informed of the re-
port that Mr. Hanley had been slated for
lire chief was inclined to doubt lis cor
rectness, as his information led him to
believe that Mr.. Hanley had other lnten-
lions.
Council has been in quandary with re-
gard to the next fire chief 1t was not
disposed to re-elect Mr. Mcguire and yet
it seemed una BILE TO hit upon anyone who
was sufficiently satisfactory to the mem
bers of the board TO succeed him. This
was so evident that many begun to think
that Mr. Mcguire would succeed himself,
and the chief has undoubtedly entertained
some hopes in that direction. Mr.. Hanley,
1t seems, has been recently brought for
ward and, backed by very strong political
influence in certain quarters, has been
able to secure assurances of support from
a majority of the board, Mr.. Hauley is
old fireman. having been connected
with the volunteer fire department for
number of years. and having been a fore
man in the paid department for several
years. II was while acting as foreman
that he was made chief detective Of the
police department under Mr., McDonough's
first administration, which position he
held until The election of Mr. Myers in
1896.
There is a report to the effect that II
Mr.. McDonough should be elected Mayor,
Mr.. Hanley would be returned to his old
position as chief detective The report
that he is slated for fire chief, however,
has much stronger backing.
