0UIGLEY AGAIN
 PICKS RUTHERFORD
Campaign Manager, As Expected, Is Reappointed Building Inspector

Although Mayor Quigley spoke yes- were something dim and in the future and referred to the fact that May 1 would be time to consider them, he decided last night to announce the reappointm of Arthur N. Ruther- ford, his campaign manager, as building inspector for the ensuing two years. MT. Rutherford was ap- preached on the matter yesterday, but preferred to talk about the weather. That he expected to receive the reappointnent nobody in the City hall doubted for minute. He has proved a good official and is popu- lar not only with the public but with those with whom he has bus mess relations.
 Speaking of appointments and re- appointm a glance at the roster of officials assures one of little change. Most of the men now hold ing city positions are previous ap- pointees of the mayor and many are his political friends. Health Super- intendent T. F. Reeks Milk, Food and Meat Inspector B. D. Radcliff and Plumbing Inspector Thomas Ouinli- III and recently the board decided that their terms need not expire at anv | specified time. but rather that their l appointments hold during good be- 1 havior. All of these men stand wei, 1 in the eyes of the present adminis 1 tration and 1t is generally conceded
 are doing fine work.
 | City Engineer w. H. Hall who se l cured the appointment two years ago
 when the Quigley forces took posses
 sion of City hall, will almost without | question be reelected by the board 1 of public works. The terms of two
 mem bers of this board expire May 1. l They are Chairman E. N. Humphrey 1 and Commissioner John E. Moore. ] Little doubt exists that Mr. Humph- l rey will be re-appointed. but rumor
 has 1t that MT. Moore will be dropped and in his stead eX-Councilman Frank | l.. Conlon will be chosen. With but | one change on the board it is pre- sumable that the reelection of City | Engineer Hall is assured.
 Another official whose appointm ent
 falls to the mayor is Sealer of
 Weights and Measures James J. years ago caused some friction among
 
 litical friends this has apparently
 blown over and If MT. Welch cares
 to accept @ reappointment it is prob l bably his for the say so.
 Among the city commissioners
 whose terms expire May 1 are the 1 following: Compensation and Assess
 ment Arthur W. Rice and Patrick F. McDonough; Water Commissioner w. ! B. Rossberg; charities, Peter P. Cur
 ran, Morris D. SaXe and Charles G. l Miller; health. Drs. H. T. Bray and l Arvid Anderson; parks, Chairman ". F. Brooks; city plan, George M. i Landers; finance and taxation, w. F.. ! Atwood, F. N. Stanley. B. F. Calf
 ney and Richard Schaefer; city hall, Chairman C. IT. Baldwin, Aaron Carl ! son, F. M. Zimm erman and w. G.. 1 Dunn: cemetery. F. ". Schultz.
 The term of Carl A. Carlson, who
 was appointed public safety com
 missioner by Mayor Quigley last l winter when the crisis arose which l resulted in a complete overturning Of 1 the board. expires next month and lt
 has been freely predicted that eX-
 Tax Collector H. M. Steele would be | rewarded for his political services by
 an appointment to succeed MT. Carl :
 son with the expectancy that he
 would be chosen chairman of the | board. It is probable that the ma =
 iority of the commissioners whose
 terms expire will be rewarded with
