MAHoOL's APPOINTMENTS.
Baltimore's Mayor Sends His selec-
tons to CITY Council

BALTIMORE, September 25.-With but
three changes in departmental heads and a
few changes in honorary boards Mayor
Mahool yesterday sent his green bag of
appointments to the second branch city
council.
While he has reappo!nted a number of
officials who have been conspicuous for
their efficiency, he has at the same time
reappointed some who have been greatly
criticised. BY those who are in close touch
with the administration 1t Is said that the
mayor used every endeavor to get new men
for several important places, but was un-
able to find efficient men who would &C
cept the positions because of the salaries
paid In comparison with those paid for the
same work in private business The mayor s
friends say he could find no other solution
of the problem.
In general the appointments are unsatis-
factory to the democratic leaders, as they
would have preferred the selection of a
number of men whom they strongly in
dorsed and considered particularly we'll
qualified They held that the success of
the administration would be affected by
the retention OF inefficient Leads OF depart
ments, even though good work might con-
tinue to be done by the efficient men Ie-
