Tuesday evening the new city com
mission made the appointments for
the coming year, and close perusal
of the qualifications and the evident
entire disregard of party utilization
cannot bat lead to the belief that the
commission has used its very best
judgment. unbiased from outside
sources. IN the appointment of the
officials
There is no question but what May
or Murphy and the commissioners
have used every endeavor TO select
only such men for Office as will meas

whose fitness for office is a credit to
the men appointed.
1t is true that for some offices the
commission has made "a good boost
in salaries This was only to be eN-

will be clearly shown in the near

always the cheapest Only the re-

city of Alma can determine that.

simply that he had promoted eiiicien-
