lied and Assigned to Re-
spective Departments.
SOME CHANGES LIKELY
New Members of Commission
Desire Time to Consider
Requirements.

Most of the appointments and re-
appointments incident TO the new city
administration, which began yesterday
with the inauguration of two new
commissioners and an auditor, will
be made Wednesday morning. This was
the announc ement of the commissioners
last night.
The lists of subordinates to the COM
mssioncrs were supposed to have been
presented to the regular meeting last
night, but at the request of the now
commissioners, Shearman and Wells,
the entire matter went over two days,
Commissioners Wells and Shearman eX-
planned that they would like q short
time III which TO acquaint themselves
with their respective departments be"
fore submitting their recommendations
w. RI. Shcarman announced last
night, however, that he would submit
the name Of Charles +. Barrett to sue
ceed himself as superintendent of
waterworks. Adhering to an agreed
policy of making 70 changes in the en-
ployees of the city government unless
there IS reasonable cause, the hold
over commissioners will vote for the
retention of Barrett in all probability.
This appointment is assured, it is said.
Commissioner Shearman has not pre-.
pared his slate for the other positions
IN his department, he said, though he
will have the list ready Wednesday. 1t
is understood he will submit the name
of C. B. Stevens, former chief deputy
auditor, for place in the water de-
partment. probably to succeed Il. r.
hneasS, for many years chief clerk IN
the water office. This appointment, If
IL is recommended, will provoke fight,
with chances i'll favor of Mr.. Kneass
Wells Wants Time.
Commissioner Wells declined to say
anything last night in regard to APP
pointments in the department of parks
and public property. He has not pre-
any appointment, he said. The prin-
clpal appointments at Mr.. Wells's dis.
posal are those OF park superintendent,
building custodian and city sexton.
William II. Greenig, elevator operator
on the city side of the joint building,
is contending with r, NJ. Johnson, in
cumbent, for the position of custodian,
According TO the mo change policy,
Johnson is the probable appointec,
place bears the signatures of most of
the city. county and state officials in
the building.
Nicholas Byhower has his application
IN for reappointment as park superin-
tendent, and at present no considerable
rivalry exists for the position. The
appointment of Mr.. Bybower is prob.
able. Farley A. Hill probably will
succeed himself as sexton.
Practically no changes are apt TO be
made in the department of public af-
fairs and finance. Henry w. Lawrence,
1T is understood, will recommend the
retention of Frank Godbe, city treas
urer, and others now In the service.
One Must Go.
AS heretofore announced, the only
change in the street department will
be the elimination of either Emil s.
Lnnd AS building inspector or Fred d.
Vinegar as city electrician. The two
departments arc to be combined, which
Will mean the removal of one or both
the incumbents. Richard P. Morris
will recommend the reappointment of
w. j. Tuddenham as street supervisor
and Charles Lawrence as chief clerk
in the street department, and Sylvester
Q. Cannon as city engineer and T.. n.
Huddleson as assistant city engineer
The personnel of the street and en-
departments will remain prac-
tically as now,
Mayor Park will submit the names
of B. F. Grant as chief of police, c.
A, Carlson as inspector of police and
the present captains, lieutenants and
desk sergeants. The rank and file of
the department. will not come before
