lin A. Greer, Esq, succeeds Fred W. Brown,
Esq, as city solicitor and is receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends and brothers in law
of the Waldo county bar. J. F. Sheldon sue
ceeds Giles G. Abbott as member of the
board of assessors for three years. One mem
Der of the city government was absent and
the vote was for Abbott and for Sheldon,
and the mayor casting the deciding vote for the
latter. Sanford Howard, who had been the
building inspector for many years. is succeed
ed by Dexter Clement. Other changes were
looked for, as it was generally understood
that the city clerk and chief of the fire de-
partment had incurred the mayors displeasure
and were to walk the plank; but they had too
many friends both in and out of the city gov
eminent to permit the carrying out of this
program, and Messrs Littlefeld and Shute re-
tanned their respective Offices. The other Off
cials were reelected, as reported in another
column.
