ready to make any sia,enicnis Manv
names have been mentioned. and many
of them are heard daily ON tho streets.
but 1t is ali guessing. for have NOT
q made up my mind abou, amy one OF
the appointments.
From rumor: on any come one
that the men probably best fitted cir
Gumstantially for the dircctorships OF
public safety public welfare, public
works and public utilities VIII not ne
CHOSEN: the reverse OF that sentiinen;
is likewise felt because OF confidence
IN the Mayors Judgment and. also, o.
the continuation power OF the Coun-
GIL. But the Two main questions oi
discussion are fixing OF salaries and
the comparative economy OF the now
system
NMany people are saying that 'rumog
has it the Mayor wants salaries fixed
at. $500 year: that he says he can't
get good men for less, and tina, un-
less The salary is so fixed he must
not be blamed for the selection OF the
men who will accept
that the Mayor wants the salaries
placed high as lever to raise his own
salary with. and at the same time to
prove that the new system is not
cheaper than the Administrative Board
which felt the brunt OF about 5000
welI-aimed votes last simmer Most
anybody will say these things. "bu:
he does not want TO be quoted, sine
he does not want 10 take amy par; in
