munication was referred to the board
as a committee of the whole.
The board will ask the State RI
parian Commission to meet with
them here to inspect the street ends
for which riparian rights have not

the haTbor commission that IL the
state board becomes familiar with
the real nature OF some OF the street

make the price per foot much small

On motion OF Herbert Gillis, the

the extent OF the rights of parties
holding riparian grants to street
ends. The board desires TO know
how far into the water such parties

SLATED
To GET CHAIR
MASON VACATES
Commissioner From Eighth Likely
to Head Police Board-Baskin
to Represent First,

Political circles were stirred by the
announcement Saturday of Carlos H
Mason, chairman OF the Police Com
mission, that he would retire at the
expiration Of his present term next
March. Speculation was rife as to its
effect on the fortunes Of Police Chief
James L. Beavers and on the polit-
zeal faction opposed to Mayor James
g. Woodward, IN which Mason Yields
such an important influence.
Political experts have 1t that Rob
ert e. Clark, Commissioner from the
Eighth Ward, will be elected to sue
coed Mr.. Mason as chairman. Mr.
Clark's term also expires next March.
but indications are that he viii be
reelected. Though he has been on
the opposite side from Chairman Ma
son in number of police policy
fights, friends Of Chairman Mason de-
clare that his retirement would be
more graceful If he should allow the
mantle of the craftsmanship TO fall on
the shoulders Of one who has not
been a strictly Mason man.
Il do not intend 10 take any part
In the election of the new chairman"
said Mr.. Mason Saturday afternoon.
1t seems reasonably sure that Coun-
Gilman A. n Baskin will succeed Mr..
Mason as the First Ward represent
tative on the commission. Z. Walter
TTpp is a candidate for the place.
The element with which Mr.. Mason is
aligned has a good majority in Coun-
Gil DR.. Baskin has been very friend
ly to Mr.. Mason. Mr.. Mason's APP
proval OF him will mean his election.
Though he will spend several
months N Europe. Mr. Mason will be
back in Atlanta in time to take an
active part in the Nayoralty cam
paign this fall, especially If Forrest
Adair enters the race. A Mason boom
for the Mayoralty, though rumored, is
not likely He would not want to run
for Mayor, for the same reason he
does not want to run for Police Com
missioner again.
Mayor Woodward, long time poiit-
ical enemy of Chairman Mason, was
opposed to amending the ordinance
permitting Mr.. Mason to run again.
Alderman Nutting and the others
back OF the movement claimed they
ildu tilOuEH NOlts 10 ONtIIlue llle
veto of the Mayor. Just the same.
Mr.. Mason's retirement is victory in
a way for Mayor Woodward.
Mr.. Clark has been reasonably
friendly with the Mayor during the
whole year, and his friends expect
Mayor Woodward's support for him
for chairman
There are no present indications
that the change will have any great
effect on the support of Chief Beavers
by the commission, but il can't be
said that the Chief will be strength
ened any.
Chairman Mason and his supporters
were in a position where they had to
support Chief Beavers following May
or Woodward's election on an anti
Beavers platform. The change viii at
least give more liberty in individual
action.
