missioner Of finance Of this city, has
been elected by the new council a

pal Light and Water Commission.
The election is an exceptionally good

served in that capacity most credita~
bly, and satisfactorily until his eleva-
ton to the office of commissioner of
finance four years ago. and he is
well qualified by knowledge and ex-
perience to fill this important post.
His selection meets with the approval
of the public, who feel that he is the
right man in the right place.

that the bill does not embody the Gov

not determined to-day by the legsla-

The Public Service Committee met to
revise the numerous amendments that

plete its work. Another meeting Will
be held tomorrow wncn It IS expected
the committee will reach an agreement
The leaders are anxious to report out
the final amendments by tomorrow or
Thursday So that the bill may be re-
printed over Sunday.
The amendment proposed is that the
new commission shall not have any
power over fare readjustment until the
working plan has been perfected for the
new system by the State, city and cor
porations.
Further demand now is made that the
limitation be EXTENDED 10 proNide tiae
the commission shall have no authority
over fares until the plan is actually IN
operation. There also s the possibility
that the application of the programme
nay be held up BY court action.
Those who favor giving free hand 70

tion's policy of reconstructing the State
Government. The gray haired attend
ants around the corridors OF the State
House SAID that It was the first time that
a Governor had ever come back to speak
as a citizen.
Mr. Smiths visit was spectacular and
was a signal for a remarkable personal
testimonial. Coming up on the train this
morning he shook hands with scores Of
men and women who passed through his
car and his walk up Capitol Till was a
series or sidewalk receptions. At ~
o'clock ne started from the Assembly
Chamber for he sltany CLUB. where
several friends were going to entertain
him at lunch, but by $50 he had been
able 10 get only half way across the As
sambly corridor because OF lcne lines or
old efierds. He therefore abandoned the
lunch and went into the Capitol restau-
rant, where he ate a ham sandwich
with one hand and shook hands with
the other.
The constitutional amendments that
were the subject OF the hearing provide
for consolidation OF all State depart
ments and commissions under eighteen
heads. four year term for Governor, an
executive budget and the appointment Of
most Of the State officers by the Gov
ernor The former Governor declared
that the present system was behind the

clared that the only reason the state
government had not collapsed was its

Nurses who are citizens of either the United States or one of the al lied countries can take the Civil Ser, vice examination for employment in the United States Public Health Ser vice Hospitals, according to a recent ruling of the Bureau of Public Health Service, Washington, D. c. Up to the present time all nurses in these hos pitals were required to be American citizens.
 This announcement has been receiv- ed by Miss Lillian L. White, Direc- tor of the Department of Nursing at Pacific Division Headquarters of the American Red Cross. According to Miss White, nurses are still needed in the U. S. Public Health Service Hos pitals, which are developing rapidly in the Pacific Division. The Navy is also asking for nurses. Red Cross nurses may be assigned to the Navy as Reserve Nurses for one year, or they may definitely join the Navy Corps for a period of three years.
 During the past year, 1S6 nurses have been transferred from other di- visions to the Pacific Division.
