$iBLEY ON WATER BOARD
--COMMlIIEES NAMED

Although the appointments to
municipal Offices we're made by the
Board of Aldermen, last night, al
most in their entirety as predicted In
yesterdays NEWS, there was some
slight confusion In the nominations,
particularly in naming the assessors,
which became confused with Com
missioners Of Assessments for Street
improvements.
After about twelve city Offices had
been filled without opposition the
question Of naming three men for
the assessorship came up. Matthew
T. Smith was successfully named for
the second district without opposi-
ton. Alderman Calvin then nomi-
mated Henry Mccullough for the
first district, Alderman Dalton sec
onding the nomination. THAT isn't
right" said A1derman-at-Large Voor-
hees. The aldermen looked at one
another in CONSERVATION and then
Alderman Dalton left his desk and
mounted the rostrom. upon which
the aldermen-at-large has his pre-
siding chair, where a whispered con-
ference was held.
After few minutes Alderman
Dalton returned to his desk and upon
the question of the alderman-at-
large as to whether or not there
we're any other nominations, present.
ed the name OF William Quigley.
Alderman Calvin then stated that
be had been put in very embarrass-
ing position. A list of nominations
to be made, he said, had been hand
ed to him and it being his turn to
nominate. he had given the name OF
Henry Mccullough, the next on the
list. Having nominated Mr.. McCul-
Tough, Alderman Calvin said that ne
would have to vote for him. The
vote was then taken, Quigley receiv-
ing all the votes except Galvin's,
When the time came to nominate
an assessor for the third district
Alderman Dalton gave the name OF
Matt Weirnp, with the question rs
that fright? ?'' He Immediately corr
rected himself and substituted the
name Of Joseph Massopust, who was
elected. Alderman Calvin refusing to
vote With no confusion Henry
Mccullough, Matt Weirup and Will
liam r. O'Hara were then nominated
and elected as commissioners OF
Assessments for street Improve
ments,
a q. sibIey on Water Board.
When the time for making nemi-
nations for the water board vacancy
arrived Alderman Calvin nominated
! HI. d IL, r I'm sssns, presumably out OF
courtesy. for with the nomination OF
G. C. Sibley for the office he with
drew Mr.. Timmins' name. Mr.. Slb-
ley was a unanimous choice.
When Mayor BollschWeiler's ap-
pointments to the Health Board and
Library Trustees were read Alder
man Seaman moved that the council
consider them as committee OF the
\ : hole. Alderman Dalton said tnat
he thought the usual course was Tor
council to confirm them. Alderman
at-Large Voorhees, said that it could
do either, whereupon Alderman Gal
vim made motion that the council
confirm the mayors appointments,
which was seconded by Alderman
Dalton. AS Alderman Seaman's
motion was not seconded the vote
was heSd on Alderman Galvin's mo-
tfon Mn Seaman voted 'sNo," say
ing that hs had not had time to con-
sIaer the mayors selections. Alder
man Calvin being next called voted
Yes, saying .I've had plenty Of
time to consider. them and they are
all good men" The other members
OF council also vbted yes"
