 Take Office

Arlie Barber, when he enters upon the discharge of his duties as commits sioner. will occupy the office now oc- cupied by Judge A. O. Lane. and will be termed Commissioner of public jus tice."
 When there are five commissioners. however there will be a encouragement of duties. Under the five com missioner bill. the government is di- vided into five departments, with a commissioner as a subsidiary head of each.
 George B. Ward, who as president of the commission armed with the power of veto will be in fact city manager or actually the head of the city gov ernment, said yesterday that in all probability the I've commissioners would get together and apportion the several departments. Each commis- sioner Will have. it Is probable. pref erence. but 1t Is thought that in the division of spoils there will be no nor tai conflict.
 It is generally thought, however, that in the event of the election of Inspector of Police Perry W. Turner. he would have strong support for the plum of commissioner of public justice.
