LIVELY POLITICS
New Officers Qualify and Will

Fight Over the Presidency Of Lower
Board Promises TO Become
Interesting.
BETWEEN YOUNG AND FOREMAN

All the newly elected city officers
were sworn in yesterday afternoon by
City Clerk Maurice Mcintyre. City
Solicitor James Campbell. Jr., spent
yesterday in looking up decisions OF
the state court of appeals, and says
he found that the officers were elect
ed legally. and upon his advice the
new officers took the oath OF Office.
The new officers will assume charge
January l. Those who took the oath
were: DR.. j. w. Bass. city physician;
Frank Dunn, city weigher; ]. o.
Keebier. superintendent city lighting
plant; John J. Clark, market master;
Ed Hubbard, city license inspector;
A. FRANKIE, sewer inspector.
This will bring the situation TO \
focus. IL was reported that the old
officials might hold to their Offices.
considering the recent election in
valid for lack of a quorum, and many
of the members of the general coun-
ell are in sympathy with them. What
ever is to be done, will develop early
in January.
Another interesting feature Of the
situation Is the fight for president OF
the lower board. President Lindsey's
term expires and Ernest Lackey goes
10 the upper board. Al Foreman was
touted as the Democratic caucus can
didate. but it is understood that Coun
Gilman Al Young. as part of the slate
on which Bass and Hubbard were
elected physician and license inspee-
tor, respectively, was TO be elected
president OF the lower board.
His candidacy has become public
knowledge now, and there promises
to be lively times before the reorgan-
izatiOn In January.
