BABCOCK CHAIRMAN
 OF SAFETY BOARD
Mayor Qui@Iey Confirms Appoint ment of Automobile Dealer With
 That Understanding.


 As forecast in yesterdays Herald, E. G. Babcock accepted the appoint n,ent to the board of public safety when it was formally tendered him by Mayor Quigley. MT. BabcOck yes terday intimated that he had con- sidered the proffered appointment and had made up his mind to accept with the proviso that he was to be chairman This was perfectly agree able to the mayor and no time was lost last evening in confirming the appointment. MT. Babcock succeeds Raymond R. Healey whose term would have expired June 1, 1917.
 A. F. Magnell, who has been acting chairman of the board since the sen sational dismissal of the former members by Mayor Quigley when he discovered that they did not accord with his ideas of a harmonious ad- mnistration, will retire in favor or MT. Babcock, but will continue his duties as clerk. That was the under standing with the mayor when he took over the chairma nship during tEe inter-regnum.
 The Herald yesterday outlined Mir. Babcock's policies in the event of his becoming chairman of the board. He plans to administer the duties of the office without fear or favor and as he has no political axe to grind feels that a strong measure of success should crown his efforts. He is opposed to the idea of running with the firemen or interfering in petty squab bbles in the police department, 1,n @f 1o partments, given the auth ority and confidence that should be accorded them, will maintain discipline and efficiency.
