The nroha utilities are that this will be on ruesday night. Until then talk apou. | the majority of the appointments IS mere speculation. E
 Of course, it is regarded as an apsos l lute certainty that Poliee Ch.et ~ to,,ra . Gerald will be appointed for his four+ fsenth term of two years. It is every.
 whare agreed that this appointment r,ii, he made And over the police de- nartment the Chief holds plenary pow | CTS. He hires and fires. Two years ago the most of the changes that were | made in the city building were maoe ll
 inc police department, but they were
 ,,ase some time after Mayor Carr went I into .ofice. 1t Is expected that the | chanres this year will be very few' IL | |. further expected that Police captain | " IT Taylor and -sergeants Gladden.

 any Aagree of assurance. It is gener- | ally believed that no appointment Will | he made for the present In the office or | City Engineer D. W. Ford. City En- | aineer Ford is quite i'll at his home on | Amanda Street. It is generally under stood that the filling of the ofhce VIII i not be taken up until MT.

B. snod- | grass holds the former and P. T. Null
 cahv the latter. The Mayor will also | have the appointment of his priVate
 secretary, a place which Is considered ] very desirable by young men s.S sais 'ih9 hs, i out in life. It Is at present held py | Gaston Troy, a bright and popular | young newspaper man.
 1 Raise for John Farley.
 1 In all probability. John Farley VIII | he reappointed Chief Clerk in the sani- tary department. Mir. Farley is one or | the most efficient officers in the oulid- ling and his work during the July fever r Texcitement has been the subject or nien | praise. It is stated with authority that the Council will, at an early meeting consider the raising of his ofhce to a higher place. both in authority ana m
 salary At present, while the chiet clerk has the responsibility of sanl- tary work and the management or US details, he really ranks no higher than sanitary inspector.
 Il in the various departments hinges upon
 the incoming of the new adminlstra-
 ton. There is, for instance, dozen
 sanitary inspectors at present, the po-
 lice force about fifty men, and the omce
 forces of all the departments.
 It Is no secret that an overwhelming number of applications for various po'
 sftions has been made to MT. Teague
 | It is also said that these many appli'
 cants have gotten the same sort of al
 answer, that his application would b'
 considered, and that the appointment would be made when the Mayor got II his effice and had looked over the lls of applicants and considered their mer.
 its. There Is really an embarrasslnt wealth of these applications, inasmucf
 as so many people assisted in giving the Mayor elect a very large maJorit.
 in the April primaries.
 Political gossip has it that certain
 of the prominent supporters of MT Teague who are not now officeholderi will get something with the new go
 round. It Is for instance stated tha
 J. G. Cowan, broker and a close per
 sonal friend of MT. Teague for man! years, will get one of the good place
 in the city government The statemen is made without authority, but it |
 generally believed. MT. Cowan wa Assistant Examiner of Public Ac : counts under the administration O
 Governor Joseph F. Johnston.
 And other rumors say that H. C. Mo Rae and w. G. Cromwell. prominen
 supporters in the spring primaries % the Mayor elect, are liable to get some thing when the new appointments arr made. Their names have been men toned in connection with one or tw' or three places. hut nothing definite Il known or told.
 Political Ears to GrOund.
 In the meanwhile city officials, head of department and subordinates ar' 5 eagerly listening for every grape vim
