HOLDERS Of CITY
Jobs WILL STICK
No Municipal Officers Known
to Be Going of Their Own
Accord.
DoREMUS FOR ENGINEER
HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO RE-
cEiVE SHAKING UP BY MAYOR.

There will be few changes in the mu-
nieipal department heads after the first
of the year. just how many are to be
made will not be known definitely for
several weeks, but it is certain only
few changes viii be ordered.
Mayor John S. Bransford is satisfied,
as rule, with the work of heads of
the several departments, and the under
standing is that he will allow them to
remain for another two years. 1t is
practically certain that George o.
CLANCY will not be the city engineer for
the next two years. CLANCY has been
at the head of this important depart
ment since L. c. Kelsey found the tenn
perature of the office rather too warm
some six weeks ago. Clancy was then
principal assistant to Kelsey, and went
up a step when his chief was forced
out for political reasons, but took the
office with the understanding that it
was just till the first of the year. The
feeling was that he was being given
try-out, and that if he made good he
would remain through the next two
years
Things have not been running along
smoothly, however, since CLANCY went
into Office, and it is understood a new
man will be given the place, with the
NtidhCtS III ldNOF OF "a Z. DOfSnluS, VINO
is now doing special work for the city in
the water suits. In this event, CLANCY
will likely become first assistant again.
Holiday Changes Mind.
1t looks as if Tom Holiday will re-
main as superintendent of waterworks
for the next two years, in spite of his
statements dating clear back to last
summer that he had had enough and
would never again take a political job.
1t is understood he has since asked the
mayor for the position. Holidays re-
marks started several other party
workers after the office. 1t is probable
that Holiday will remain. If he does
not, it is believed Frank Hines has the
best chance of appointment
Jake Raleigh is a fixture as super
visor of streets. The mayor and Raj
eigh have a little mutual admiration |
society all of their own.
A. b. Hirth will remain building in |
spectOr, without fight. Frank Mathews |
is a bit like Holiday, in that he was
making statements before election that |
he did not want the job of land and |
water commissioner again. But he is /
after it now, and so is Will Schoppe |
Mathews will probably land it, and |
something else may be found for /
tors office December l as a result of |
little friction with Auditor Rudolph |
Aft
There Will hardly be a change in the |
board of public works, with the excep- |
ton that Mike Fitzpatrick, chief in
spectOr. is doomed. An effort is being /
made by the board of works to increase
the salary of the chief inspector from /
S125 to $500 2 month. Chairman H. G. /
Mcmillan would like to Keep 'Fitz" /
there. Other members of the board /
have tried from time to time to have
Fitzpatrick disposed of, but they cannot /
do it without an open rupture with Nc
MILAN.
A Sandy Fowler will remain secre-
tary to the mayor Sandy had thought
of leaving Salt Lake on account of his
health, but the mayor has asked him
to remain another two years.
To Create Department.
An effort is being made to divorce the
license department from the city audi
tors Office. and an ordinance is now be-
ing drawn up to this effect, making the
license department department of its
own and the license collector an APP
pointee of the mayor. Frank Kimball
is now license collector under City Au-
ditor Aft. and will remain there as long
as Aft has anything to do with it, But
with the change and giving the mayor
the filling Of the Office there are several
others who will be considered, promi-
nent among them being Charles W.
Lawrence. at present chief clerk in the
street supervisors office.
Mayor Bransford will, it is under
stood, reappOint S. NJ. Barlow as chief
of police and w. H. Glore as chief of
the fire department. There is every in
dication that Walter Frazier will re-
main city food and dairy commissioner.
that J. W. fireman viii continue as city
J. D. Beasley as sealer of
weights and measures and oil inspector.
and j. W. Farrell as plumbing inspec-
tor.
A nice little fight has developed i'm
the health department, and the indica-
tons are that DR.. NJ. r. Stewart will
leave at the end of the year. taking
with him F. L. Hansing, "Horseless
Bill Margetts and a few others Dr.
Samuel G. Paul, chief of the quarantine
department, expects to become city
health commissioner. and intends to
adopt some innovations in the office
which have been suggested in the past, +,
but have been forgotten in following
put old time-worn methods of the past.
