QUESTION OVER
A SMALL OFFICE

Appointed by the Levy Court as
Inorgue-keeper at a salary OF SOS a year
his term as such expiring in next May
while his Office as deputy coroner ex-
pires at the end OF the year, the dues-
tion arises whether Harvey E. Nichols
the present deputy. or James T. Chand-
Ter, the new one appointed by Coroner
elect Gaynor will be the morgue-keeper
after the first of the year.
As Mr.. Chandler resigned as morgut
keeper when his Office OF deputy coroner
expired under Coroner Purks, although
he had been appointed for four years as
morgue-keeper by the Levy Court, it Is
thought that Mr. Nichols will do the
same thing when his time as deputy
expires.
