There has been considerable guess
ing as to scene of the appointments to
be made by Mayor Dunn this year, as
was only natural with the board of
aldermen democratic for the first time
in several years. Mayor Dunn has
stated to the contrary to rumor he
will call no special city meeting, but
will make his announcements at the
first meeting of the board in the New
Year, Monday, January tenth. There
are several candidates for tax col
lector and it is not known who will
be elected for this position. The
corporation counseFs position will I'M
doubtedly go to Thomas J. Kelley, who
has filled it many times in the past
when the party was in power. Hend-
erson S. Moulton will also be retain
ed as superintendent of the water de-
partment, at the deserved increase in
salary which was voted at the last
meeting of the board. For fire chief
the names of John N. Williams and
James Tighe are most prominently
mentioned, and for superintendent of
street John S. Sullivan and David
Ahearn are spoken of, but the nomi-
nees will remain unknown until Jan
uary tenth, when there will undOubt-
eddy be a considerable number of in
terested persons on hond to hear the
names read.
