to Mr. King, had been taken. In the

STEELE IS REV ARDED.
Mayor Will Name Him on Safety
 Board to Succeed Carlson.

Confirmation of The Herald's story published several weeks ago to the effect that ex-Tax Collector H. M. Steele was to be appointed a mem Der of the board of public safety as reward for his political services during the recent mayoralty cam- paign,, succeeding Carl A. Carlson, who is to get the berth made vacant by Sealer of Weights and Measures James J. Welsh, came last ight in an announcement by Mayor G. A. Quigley.
 The mayors announcement proved the truth of the Herald's story al- though Mayor Quigley at the time sought to veil the matter to give the impression that it was only a news paper yarn.
 Ever since Mayor Quigley was re- elected rrmors have been current that MT. Steele had a definite reward promised for his efforts in behalf of his former political opponent. It was also known that MT. Welch had signified his readiness to quit the job of sealer as soon as the mayor was prepared to announce his choice of a successor to the position.
