Councilman Griley did not vote on
any of the combinations. He was ex-
cused by the council because he is a
Democrat. Councilman CLANCY stated
that he would vote for the contirma-
tons as a matter of duty He said that
he did not want to interfere with the
policy of the administration, and that
he would vote for whoever Hughes
nominated, Just to show that am
good fellow" Councilman Bergund-
thai declined to vote on several of the
combinations, the ground that he
did not know the nominee. COunciln an
Warner voted mo- on the confirmation
of Street Commissioner Snyder.
The new appointees are Frank P.
Lindsay, who succeeds c. A. Aagaw as
police judge; James McCabe. who takes
p. L Wises place as city engineer; c.
n
of the city electric light plant in place
of H. X. Goodrich; w. H. Carpenter,
who will be police sergeant in place of
Tim Donovan. and A r. Jester. slated
for jailer in place of c. D. Miller.
James A1cCabe, the new city engineer,
has been an employe in the city engi-
neer's office for a number of years. He
was a candidate for the place at the
time Mr.. Wise got the appointment, and
is well known worker in local poll
tics.
c. c. Munson has never been con-
nected with the city electric light plant.
He is an electrical engineer of twenty
years experience He had charge of
installing the new dynamos at the city
plant, and IS now engaged IN building
an electric railway between Junction
City and Fort Riley. Mr.. Goodrich,
who was displaced, has been an excel
lent and capable officer.
w. H. Carpenter has been connected
with the police force as patrolman and
detective for three years. He takes Tim
DOnovan's place as sergeant Donovan
is let out-or let down, for there is moth
ing left for him except a patrolman's
beat and he is one of the oldest and
most efficient police officers. The poll
ticians made q hard fight on Donovan
because he is a Democrat, and they ev-
identity got his scalp. Carpenter has
been under a cloud and was arrested
for enbezzlement but the case against
him was dismissed upon his proposal to
pay back the money.
