to fill the vacancy caused by the re-
cent resignation Of L. NJ. Gasque. Mr.
Gasque resigned, it is reported, be-
cause Governor BlcaSe included MS
nanlu in the message written 20 the
senate Investigating committee, in
which the name of State officials hold
ing two or more Offices in violation OF
the constitution were given. Whether
this is the reason for his resignation
or not Mr.. Gasque did hold two posi-
tions at the time, having been a fish
commissioner and a member Of the
general assembly.
When interviewed yesterday, Mr..
Roessler stated that the appointment
came most unexpectedly, and that ne
had never held position Of this kind
before. He said to a reporter for the
News and Courier: 4
Ever since I received my; commits
sion l have been exerting myself to
get line on what my new duties and
obligations are. l can tell a crab from
an oyster, and 1 believe I know white
fish when I taste them. But that is
about the extent of my knowledge in
piscatory fields. All I know about
the position is that there are three
commissioners in the State, and thai
these hold meetings to settle all fish
ing disputes and to supervise the fish
ing situation in general. Beyond this
I have as yet learned nothing. I'm Oh
a. hunt for information, however, and
soon expect to be one of the best IN
formed fish commissioners in the
South"
Mr.. Roessler is we'll known in this
city. He is wholesale fruit ano
produce merchant. He was a member
of the city council for eight years and
served one term as a member cf the
South Carolina house of representa-
tives.
