that grim visaged war had smoothed
his Wrlnkled front M the white-wineed
love OF peace has taken up her abode in
the tower of the city hall. All the new Of
fcials are assuming their positions to-
day, although many of them have not
filed bonds ON account Of tine fact that
yesterday was Sunday, but the bonds are
now beng prepare and will be filed today
and as fast as they are filed the old Of
hcers will be relieved and the new ores
installed. Early Ibis afternoon the new
administration, with ali it's officers, will
be in full charge The mayor vas in a
very happy frame of mind over the con-
summation Of his long cherished plans,
and those who received the p]uras were
in the same cheerful condition..
There was a rumor on the streets yes.
terday to the effect that some Of the old
officers, whose designated successors .had
been confirmed by the questionable vote
OF eight to SIX would refuse to surrender
their offices to their successors and make
a fight in the ourts for the retention Of
their places. Those VINO were mentioned
particularly as having decided to make
his aggressive stand were Thomas Null
holland, chief Of police and John Flan-
merry, chief of the fire department. This
rumor, however, whether with or with
out foundation did not materialize into
opposition, and when the successors Of
these officials. Jack Lavelle n Peter
Sanger, presented themselves this morn
ing for induction into office. they were
promptly put in charge of the affairs Of
the two departments and shown every
courtesy by the two now ex-chiefs.
Probably the man who suffers the most
from the work Of the council Saturday
night is ex-Chief Flannery. The metro
politan fire department law, which was
created by the last legislative assembly,
will go into effect on the first of next
month, which is not many days away.
