JACK" KNIGHT MAY LAND.
Rumored That He'll Get Frank
AldrIch's Position.

Jack" Knight, now in charge OF
the free employment bureau conduct
ed by the state department OF labor
in the city hall, Is said to be the man
picked by Public Works Commission
er Haarer to succeed Frank Aldrich
as superintendent OF the street
cleaning department The commits
sioner sent word to Knight, Monday
morning. that he wanted to see him
but Mr. Haarer was out when Knight
called some time later. Aldrich was
around the d. P. w. Office most OF
the morning. talking with various
people. Gossip had IT that he had al
ready been laid off.
The berth would prove quite &C
ceptable TO knight, whose connection
with the department of labor will be
short-lived in any event. Knight was
strong Kelly supporter, as was his
boss, Labor Commissioner Dick
Fletcher, so the outlook has been
none too bright for his retaining his
present berth after Gov Osborn gets
on the job In Lansing Jack" reallz
ed this and has been quietly casting
about for some other job. The offer
from Commissioner Haarer, IL it
transpires that Knight is the lucky
man. came quite unexpectedly, how
ever.

Many Seek Marquise Permits.

Applications for permission to build
marquise over the public streets have
been coming to the common council
with great frequency lately. Since a
Woodward-ave. merchant obtained
permission to build marQuise extend

and the length OF the store-front, the
committee has been rather wary, but
small awnings are generally allowed
The committee on streets on Monday
recommended allowing marquise of
moderate size to be placed over the
cafe entrance of the Hotel Cadillac,
and Robert Houghten on, for garage In
West Grand-blvd., near Helen-ave. An
other petition for marQuise on the
