CUMMISKEY RESTORED
TO POST AT CITY HALL
Former Head of Property Bu-
reau, Dismissed in June, Rein
stated; Political Signifi-
canoe Seen

Frank J. CummislSey was restored today
to the position of chief of the Bureau of City
Property from which he was dismissed for
personal reasons" on June O. Mayor Smith
summoned him, lnstructing him to return to
his Office in City Hall, and then left for
Atlantic City.
No explanation was made by the chief
executive for his unprecedented action, but
II Is looked upon as a move of political inn
portance. 1t Is now expected that the 25th
ward, in which Cumrhlskey is political
worker, will hereafter be an administration
ward"
Cummiskey was formerly an examiner In
the State Insurance Department and also
represented his ward in Select Council He
has been for many years follower of FORM
er Magistrate william F. Campbell Nc
Nichol leader OF high power in the north
eastern section OF the city.
Cummiskey was appointed Professionally
ms head of the Bureau on January is, suo-
ceeding William II. Ball. who has since be-
como secretary to Governor Brumbaugh.
He was appointed permanently on March
10 at salary of $4,000. On Juno no
was asked to resign by the Mayor, but
refused TO comply with the request. Sub
sequently no left the office, and Robert
C. Hicks. then special agent for the De-
partment of Public Works. was named
temporarily Mr.. Hioks will now return
to his old position.
In a list of ward leaders which the
Mayor recently made public he failed to
include Campbell. Whether the restora-
ton OF Cummskey will mean the recog-
milton of Campbell is a matter Of specula-
ton among politicians today. There is
little doubt, however, that tho Admins
tration will be assisted rather than retarded
by workers in that ward
Cummiskey and Hicks spent several
hours In the office of the Bureau of City
Property today. When they left together,
Cummiskey said to newspapermen: II am
happy to have been vindicated."

Alfred Day, Jr., who is serving in the Penn

art, Tex, in which the young soldier writes
that things are going fine"
Everything seems good to him the food,
the life, the fun, the work-al of It. His
chums from Logan, Raymond ]. Brelthaupt
and r. Murray, are serving in the same
ambulance division he is in. and they like the
camp life In the same way he writes. He
told of how they set out to motor to Ell
Paso the other day, but ran out of push
water" That is how they term gasoline
down there.
Day is only 20 years old, and his father
thinks the experience he is getting will do
him much good 1t amused him when he
read his sons paragraph to the effect that
the only things feared down at camp are
the occasional snakes that invade the tents.
We're more scared of them than any one
would ever be of Mexicans" he wrote.
