council at its meeting last night.

of Alderman James McClelland,
also of the sixth ward, that Mr..
Sutar was selected by the council.
Following Mr.. McClelland's nomi-
nation speech, Alderman F. l.. Ut
ter and Alderman John Giesy
suggested that the council be not
too hasty in it's action in. filling
the berth. Mr.. MeClelland's un-
qualified endorsement of the new
member, however, was sufficiently
weighty to cast aside any obJec-
tions.
DR.. Cashatt and DR.. Mary Row
land both were proposed as sue
cessors to DR.. Pomeroy. Dr.. Ca
shaft was nominated by Alderman
A. F. Marcus, who declared that
the position is one to be filled by
man, while Alderman McClel-
land and Alderman Patton, who
spoke in favor of DR.. Rowland,
were equally insistent that the
type of work confronting such an
official could be better performed
by a woman.
