take over this burden. He has the
facts at his fingers end and is GER
tain to build up an efficient manage
ment. His colleague on the outgoing
board, Commissioner p. F. Ryan, will
be made president of the new board
and will therefore be chairman of
the finance committee.
Because of his interest in the work
of the lighting committee of the Com
mon Council, the newly-elected COM
missioner, Albert H. Biertuempfel,
will head the lighting committee,
which becomes more important this
year because of the contemplated
erection of a municipal combination
lighting plant and incinerating plant
in the eastern part of the city.
In the past the Republicans have
regarded this as the tail-end COM
mittee and always gave it to the
Democratic members. The Democrats
are evidently more considerate of
their political opponents, for Com
missioner Arthur r. Denman, the
only Republican in the new board,
will be made chairman of the sewer
he probably looks forward to as his
single Craftsmanship plum.
To Commissioner-elect Charles F.
Gillen will fall the labor of taking
care of the streets, as chairman of
the street committee. City Counsel
James r. Nugent and Chief Engineer
Morris r. Sherrerd are considering
the advisability of letting out the
street cleaning and snow removal by
contract, and Mr.. Gillen's first step
will be to introduce a ~businesslike
system in handling the streets.
The makeup of the committees will
be decided upon next Tuesday.

eral courtmartial in 1910 in the case

the retired list, with a view to re-
imbursing the government for the
money alleged to have been lost
through his lax business methods.
The entire sentence is now RENTED.

through here at 1850 o'clock en- route
to Staunton, Va.
Il feel a little bit husky" said the
Governor, ''but otherwise 1 am all
right"
The Governor said the weakness in
his voice probably was due to the re-
Taxation of the last few days rather
than to the possibility that his cold

serving that Mr.. Wilson'S voice was
not strong he advised him to protect
his throat and rest for a few hours.

peared drawn, but he said he prob
ably would be back to normal health
in a day or so.
The President-elect had a great
many things to tell Mr.. McCombs, as
he has not seer him since the confer
enCe Will WillidAh DHS"h ain

lieved, however, he said, that i'm
