 Many in this section of the city wonder why Mayor Thoms does not appoint a successor to Commissioner Patrick Cronin of the charity depart ment. Although 1t is some time since the death of the former commission CT no appointment has been made. and the men of the third ward. espec- ially, seem to think that they are not being represented as they should since Mir Cronin was a member of the third ward. Shortly after the vacancy occurred there was considerable talk as to whom the new commissioner would be but so much time has elapsed since the place was made vacant that the matter is being for gotten except by those who would like the berth themselves. The voters in the third ward seem to think that the place by right belongs to their district and declare that they are confident that the mayor will select a man from their ward.
