MAYOR HAUSsL|NG
AND COUNCIL HAVE
I 81 JOBS TO FILL
His Honor, 1t Is Said, Will Re-
= appoint Most of Present
? Incumbents.


Mayor Haussling, at the beginning Of
the year, will have at least .forty-nine
appointments to make and the Common
Council three. OF those by the Mayor.
twenty-five will be direct and will not
require the Intervention Of the Com
mon Council, but that body will have
the confirmation Of twenty-seven sother
appointments by the Mayor.
In the great majority of cases there
is sale to be little doubt ,thatSthe Mayor
will reappoint the men who now hold
office.
In the first class, those appointed d.
rectly by the Mayor, Private Secretary
Wilson J. Vance, City Counsel James R.
Nugent, Assistant City Attorney
Charles M. Myers, Assistant Counsel
Herbert Boggs, Excise Commissioners
John Nieder, Richard Miller, John Otto
and Edwin b. Smith, Assessment Com
missioners John F. Monahan, William
Dimond and Adolph Fisch, Judge
Charles F. Herr, of the Second Grim
inal Court; Library Commissioners
William Johnson, Richard G. Jenkinson,
James e. Howell, DR.. Archibald Mer-
Ger and Edward T. Ward and Shade
Tree Commissioners James A. Berry
and James S. Higbie, are all said to be
pretty certain of reappointment.
There is talk that Francis Child, jr.,
will resign as city attorney, and 1t is
possible that Herbert Boggs may be
named in his stead, In the Shade Tree
Commission, Charles &. 5sTitsworth will
probably be superseded by another
man. The appointment of a judge for
the First CRIMINAL Court In the place OF
David T. Howell, deceased, is also to be
made by the Mayor directly. All the
present time it would seem as If former
Assemblyman Simon Hahn would be
the man slated for the place, although
nothing is decided on, 1T isfsaid. 80.
Among the appointments that, will
need confirmation by the Common
Council, the largest salaried one is that
of city auditor, the position now held
by George Forman. 1t is probable that
another man will take his place, no
matter what the complexion of the,
Common Council is, whether a tie be-
tween Democrats and Republicans or
with the majority Republican. Mr..
Forman, during the campaign, took the
New Idea candidacy for the Republican
nomination for mayor against Frank j..
Book, and is mot in good" with the
Regular organization, whose members
predominant among the Republican al
dermen.
Tax Commissioners John L. Carroll,
Philip Lowry, Thomas F. Preston, John
Howe and A. Wildrick Swain will all
probably go back. There is little doubt
the Council will confirm them.
OF the fire commissioners, it is a
that President Edward e. Gnichtel will
be retired, but that Charles Logan,
Thomas E. Burke and William e.
Weber will be renamed. The Gnichtel
| vacancy will have-to be filled by a Re-
publication SO as to keep the board BIZ
partisan, as required by h law.
In the Police Board the present three
members will be reappointed. One
Democratic place will have to be filled
because of the resignation of Sheriff
William Harrigan. There is a horde of
candidates in the field. Thomas E.
Curran, of the Tenth ward, is not a
candidate.
The present ten members of the
Board of Health are DR.. Herman c.. HI.
Herold, DIR. W. s. Disbrow, DR.. James
T. Wrightson, DR.. George l.. Warren,
DIR. George B. Kent, Henry c. Vance,
John w. Dobbins, F. M. Schulz, 1.
Rolfe Denman and Timothy F. Foyle,
It is probable there will be some
changes made.
