Here are some Of those that TIA Ron-

CITY PHYSICIAN.
CITY wEIGHER

SUPERINTENDENT OF ELEC-
TRIO LIGHT PLANT.
SEWERAGE INSPECTOR. :
There must be elected a mayor pro
tenn and president Of the council, and
a president Of the board of aldermen.
Councilman Ell hanhon IS certain
to be pIesieentof the council II he
will consent TO serve, which will
make him mayor pro ten, and
Alderman elect CHARLES Reed will
doubtless be president of the board Of
aldermen.
The fire and police commissioners
have to choose police chief, captain
and lieutenant, in addition to all the
police officers ana to the chief and as
sistant FIRE chief and all the firemen,
patrol wagon driver and possibly
others.
The cemetery committee that is APP
pointed by the presidents Of the boards
will elect a sexton of Oak Grove.
City Attorney Il. b. Harrison will
later appoint public printer, and
Mayor Yoiser has a number Of boards
TO appoint or will have later on. He
will appoint public library beard,
which will dispose Of some little pat
ronage such as librarian, janitor, etc.,
aud ho will appoint board of public
works if the two legislative boards
pass an ordinance authorizing them.
1t is seen that there will be "some.
thing doing" in municipal political
circles, and II is probable that those
who did the most work for the ticket
will get the preference in giving out
the best jobs.
Some Of the newly elected council
men and aid ,rmen say they have heard
Of no candidates for some of the offices
/ A fow, however, are announced.
IL Is understood Mr. Frank Smed-
ley will apply for the position OF mar
ket master; that Messrs. H. II. Rssor
and Will l.. Robertson want To be sew
ersge inspector; there are half a dozen
for license inspector, and that there
" Ill IN due time be candidates enough
for every office.
One thing that is not yet decided,
however, is when these officers ara to
be elected, and whether ths present
council or the new boards shall elect.
Heretofore the council nas elected
in December and if this rule is adhered
to now, these officers viii all be chos-
on by the present board before il goes
out Of oflica, instead OF by tho now
] boards, which DO not 90 into Office I'M
I'll the first meeting in January. There
seems possibility for preoipitating a
lively fight over the privilege of eleot-
ing these city officers The terms of
the present officials expire this month,
but the law allows them to hold on
until their successors are elected and
qualify.
Some Of the council, especially those
who 90 out Of office, seem to think
that the present boards should elect,
aud others that the new boards should
elect. 1t romans to DO seen which
will get TO dc it, as members of both
The present board, and the board elect,
have plenty of friends they would be
glad to put into the offices.
