Commissioners have rented much land

land soon becomes of great value.
The Governor viii urge on the f7egis-

When asked if he had decided yet
what positions on the committees he
would give the Essex, Hudson and I'M

Mr. Robbins said he had only decided
upon one place, and that was the chair

always goes to the leader of the House.

was understood the Colby men would
stay.
.sWell. what will they do with that
section Of the county committee consti-

1t is practically settled that Tax Com
missioner Bacon, Treasurer Ely. Comp
trol3er Hough and Police Commissioner
McNulty will be handed out reappoint-
ments Fire Commissioner Zambilsch is
still on the anxious seat. He hasn't re-
eeiyed any encoura cement from the May
or and his friends fear that he is to suf-
fer because Of his friendship for Sheriff
Kaiser. Up in the E5eyenth Ward a
quiet tip is going the rounds that Direc-
tor of Education Bernard Tul.y is the
goods and that he is to get the Fire Conn
missionersiiip. This seems hardly prob
able. as TuIly is Democrat, though of
the Fagan stripe, and this appointment
would put the Democrats in control, as
Commissioner Connolly is also Pagan
Democrat. 1t is known that Tully
doesn't want to go back to the Board of
Education. and his friends insist that he
has something up his s.eeve. While it
doesn't seem reasonable. from a political
viewpoint that the Ee&enth Wald Fa-
gan Democrat will land the Fire Com
m.ssionership it would not be surprising
if e sere to receive the cler4sh.p III

the hill wards have candidates. Forest
Heath. the Pagan leader in the Tent
Ward hopes to land the job for one of
his followers, and Tom McEwan, who
is one Of the Mayors advisers, now that
the Mayor is out with Col. Dickinson, IS
urging the claims of Fred Bugasch, of
the Twelfth Ward. If Tully isn't all
ready selected for the job Bugcsch' S
chances look good
There will be a few changes in the
Board of Education. as it is understood
that some Of the members offended the
Mayor by voting to retain Clerk Wise
man.
Finance Commissioner Daud. the Re
publican leader in the Second Warl, will
not be reappointed. He is too close to
Col Dickinson TO suit the Mayor The
talk at the City Hai1 is that a Second
Ward Fagan Democrat will succeed
Daudt.
Angel are booked for removal. Stuhr
refused to desert Colonel Dickinson and
the Republican organization, and Com
missioner Angel owes his appointment
in the first place to Sheriff Kaiser Fa-
gan Republicans wlla succeed them. If
William r. Harrison, of the Ninth Ward,
doesn't get one of the places he viii be
one of the most disappointed men in the
city. He has received the glad hand on
several occasions and if he should ret it
again next Monoay his patience will
have becn exhausted. A Twelfth Ward
Faganite will succeed Commissioners
