in the opinion of many members Of the
city council that an effort will be made
later in the year to legislate him out of
Office.
Gardner is distinctly persona non grata
to the aldermen, and especially to the
members of the license committee. They
declare that they have no confidence in
him; that the Office is being administered
with entire disregard of the city's in
terests and that it is positively neces-
sary to make a change at the earliest
possible moment.
Mayor Ames has the same abundant
confidence in his friend Gardner that he
has in everybody else whom he appoints
to a position under the city In return
for political services, and it is presumed
that he will declare him to be an "hon-
orable man" and refuse to take any ac-
tion. The only recourse, therefore, is for
the aldermen to take the matter into their
own hands, and after some considerable
investigation they believe that they have
found practicable way of getting rid Of
Gardner.
While it has always been the custom
for the mayor to detail man from the
police department to look after license
matters, it is possible for the city coun-
ell under the charter to change the sys-
tenn If it desires so to do. The propo-
sition, therefore, is to take the selection
of license inspector wholly out of the
hands of the mayor and vest the election
of this official in the council Under this
arrangement he would be responsible
solely to the city council and would per-
form his duties under the direction of the
license committee.
Under the present system the license
inspector is responsible to the mayor
alone, and he may disregard entirely the
license committee, which acts on all
licenses and necessarily should work in
close harmony with the license inspector.
Hitherto, matters have worked smoothly
between this official and the council COM
mittees. Not so with Gardner, however.
He ignores the committee completely.
gives them just as little information as he
possibly can, and makes them understand
that he is acting under other orders than
theirs. This situation can not continue
indefinitely without serious injury to the
public interests, the aldermen declare.
hence their desire to bring about change
in the methods Of appointment.
Neglect and incompetency are only a
part of the criticism made against Gard
uer's regime in official circles.

Gently appointed consul at Scheidam on

will not discuss the fight which has been
made on Hodgson, but there is an evident
belief that the controversy has been set

been asked to suggest another man to
