From 2:30 o'clock until APO the com- mfssioners debated over the appoint ment of a successor to Clerk Cox. Commissioner T. M. Ellis was in favor of appointing Miss Kathryn Hehir. present nurse in the emergency hos pita1, to the position of clerk of the
 
 nomination. Mrs. M. H. Ford nomf- mated Garrity for the position.
 The commissioners were unanimous to bdepose Cox as clerk. Comm ssioner Ellis at first refused to sanction the appointment of Clarity as clerk. He said the young man was unknown to him and his capability was unknown to the board. He was strongly in fla vor of appointing Miss Hehir:
 To the latter's appointment Mrs ! @IlI Ticc Hehir might be good nurse but that did not indicate that she was good stenographer clerk. Commissioner Ellis then moved that the board pro- 1 ceed with the election of Spencer R. Gordon as superintendent and that ] the other appointments be left over until the next meeting. To this Com missioner Ford was strongly opposed and finally delivered an ultimatum to Commissioner Ellis to either sanction the appointment of Garrity or suffer the r1ostponement of the appointment 1 of Gordon for two weeks. She said that she would refuse to sanction the l appointment of Gordon should Ellis hold up the election of Garrity. Pres- | ident F. William Behrens agreed with Commissioner Ford.

 It was then that a heated discussion I arose over the reappointment of Dr. U. H. Beaudry. Commissioners Ford and Behrens were strongly in favor of busting Beaudry as emergency hospi- T tai physician. Commissioner Harris was in favor of the retention of Bean- ] dry.
