DOLAN GETS HIS
RECOMPENSE IN
FAT GUARDIANSHIP
President Pennington Puts the
BoIter at Head of Poor and
Aims Committee.
FORMER DEMOCRAT
SITS WITH NEW ALLIES
Common Council Chief Rewards
Man Who Put the GayeI
Into His Hand.

Alderman Patrick ]. Dolan, elected
as q Democrat from the Twelfth ward,
but who Topped to the Republicans
and enabled them to capture the Or
g~anization of the Common Council,
was last night appointed by Republican
President Pennington to be chairman Of
the poor and aims committee, one of
the most important plums at the dis
posal of the Republican organization.
Dolan's friends denied that he agreed
to vote for Pennington for president of
the Council if Pennington would APP
point him to this craftsmanship. Dolan,
who is employed by the Public Service
Corporation, was also appointed to the
committee on licenses.
President Pennington, before the
meeting of the Council, had persistently
stated and reiterated that under no
circumstances would he appoint Dolan,
whose vote made him president, to II
Craftsmanship. The appointment, there
fore, was rather a surprise.
1t was evident to the most casual OBJ
server that there was something
doing when the Council came to order.
Dolan sat on the Republican side of
the room in the seat farthest removed
from his Democratic colleagues,
though it was stated afterward that
neither the Democrats nor the Repub-
licans had asked him to change his
seat. In every vote Dolan went with
The Republicans.
