City Auditor George Forman. Repuo-
lican, was sreappointed for a term OF
two years. There had been some
rumors that Forman would be saeri-
feed by his party for certain rights in
the Council. When his name was read
Alderman Jerome T.. Colgleton moved
tina the nomination be LAID over a

made by a Democratic Mayor, n mo
tion created some stir, After a tax
with City Counsel Nugent, Congleton
Withdrew his motion. which was at
onoe offered again by Alderman Sin

The subject was not allowed 10 drop
there, however, Aldermen Elmer A.

/. Patrick J. Dolan. of the
Twelfth Ward. who wanted Thomas j.
D.. Smith to succeed Sheriff Harrigan,
voting no." because Scaulou. Of the
Seventh Ward, was given the place.
The failure to land Smith was said to
be the main reason for Dolan's deser-

Perhaps the biggest surprise in the
Health Board names was the failure
to %reappoint DR.. Disbrow. Commits

because of business demands.

in the early years of the late
Mayor James NJ. Seymour's ad-
