FERN PUTS Lane
in DILEMMA AS
HISLAST STROKE

In his appointment of L. Andrews as
chairman of the fire and police civil
service commission, and reappoint-
ment of Peter Baron as a member OF
that board Mayor Fern executed
farewell political coup that probably
was the grand climax of his career.
The wiseacres today are smiling at
the delicate situation in which Fern
has put his successor, John C. Lane.
It seems evident that neither An
drews nor Baron, though Republicans,
were of the new mayors choosing. He
did not name them for Fern, though
the latter invited Lane to name his
men, Fern offering to appoint them
for him. The latter held off, however,
apparently figuring on making the APP
pointments to the board after he took
over the reins of government
But now it is question whether
Lane could remove these two except
for cause, and If he had friends he
would prefer in those positions they
likely will have to wait for another
year before he can appoint them.
Moreover. Andrews is an official
power In the Republican party, being
chairman of the territorial central
committee. If Lane should make an
effort to GUST the chairman trouble
would threaten and he nnquestionably
would incur the anmity of certain
eelement Of the party. s,
URless Andrews and Baron choose
to resign, say the politicians, Lane
may make a wry face, but he will
have to accept their services for the
next IL months.
