in the Offices mentioned. Some change
is contemplated with reference to the
ordinance relating 10 tho Office of dog

increased bv the addition of two mon,
ard II the council sees MT to allow him
that additional help he vii appoint
thc Two extra clerks who are now en-
nloved in his office.
Mayor Bransford has not announced
any aorc appointments and il is quite
likely that his list Will not be given
out until the new council meets at noon
Monday. There Is still considerable
speculation AS to who will land the
appointment of city engineer. II is
understood that the list of applicants
for that position has been wccded out
by the mayor until his choice lies be-
tween two men. These arc said 10 bc
NJ AZ ~.
Gopiral. Each of these men is highly
qualified for tho position and has strong
backing so that the msyor has a pretty
hard Job on his hands TO determine
which he will appoint.
The old connci will hold its last
meeting Monday morning at 1880
o clock and wind up its affairs and
will meet and organize by electing w
Mont Ferry as president. At that
meeting the mayor will have his list
of appointments for approval and all
tho other city officials will send in their
