With his two hands and head as his
only assets. Mr.. Befoin has reached
a commanding eminence in the local

sane and Mayor Quigley believes that

not intend to reappoint to the boari

missioners whose terms of office eX-
pire this spring. These are Chairman

Mayor Quigley is said to feel that the
commission was not in harmony with
his views since his election and lie
means to replace those whose terms
expire with men who believe more in
his policies. There will be third va
cancy on the board as Richard VoSel.
whose term expired on May l rendered
his resignation some time ago.
Few will be surprised over Mayor
Ouiglcy's determination not to make
any reappointm to the chartty
board He has been at loggerheads
with the commission since he was IN
alderman and had conditions at the
town home investigated. One OF his
threats during his campaign for the
republican nomination for mayor AMI
later for election was that he would
remove Superintendent Kibbe from
the home. Thus far he has been cir
cumvcnted in his desires as the cha
ity commissioners have stood by the
superintendent and have signed him
UP for another year.
Edward y. Callahan has been APP
pointed by the mayor to the new civil
service commission. Mr.. Callahan is
a former councilman and was also 4
