MAYORESS' HUSBAND
 IS IN DIRE QUANDRY
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH. International News Service Staff
 COPreSDOudcOt

London. Dec. 6-Dr. Alfred Salter, NJ; P, is in a quandary.
 The Doctor is all fused up because stands. He is a Member of ParIia- ment from Be~mondaey. but that is small potatoes compared to the Mayoress of Bermondsey, and in Ser mondsey a MRyor-with a gold chain and gown-is far more important than an ordinary NJ. P.
 ''I don't even know what title I should respond to- the Doctor said. discussing his plight after Mrs Satei' had been elected Mayoress. "Ob.. viously I can't be called a Mayor ess.
 Tt has been proposed that I should have made no decision on this mat. ter yet''
 It isn't title that is worrying the Doctor so much. it's the duties of tho husband of the Mayoress. He doesn't know how he is going to fill them
 My. position is unique" the Doc . been Mayor in England before. al. though there have been several wid. ows and single women.
 T intend to fulfill the function Of the husband of the Mayoress, accom- panytng her to social functions and participating with her in public cere. monies I don't intend to interfere +basa Tlth her 1a duties; 4;,. she will shoulder
 
 do about those duties which have heretofore fallen upon the shoulders of the wife of the Mayor of Bermond.. sey?
 ''There are many duties, chiefly of a phtlanthropic character. which usually fall to the lot of the wife of the Mayor.
 'tIt has been the custom of the wife of the Mayor to preside over borough collections in connection with hos pitfalls, cripples, and in similar char. tiles, and be responsible for their or. sanETation. q have not actually made up my mind as to whether I should take up hese duties or not Flag days have been worked in Bermondsey by means of ladies' 2 orr Enittees. with the wife of the Mayor as chairman.
 T am afraid I should feel sadly put of place in that capacity" The doctor has one nope and that s that his duties as Member of Par- | lament will be so arduous that Ber- nondsey will forgive him for not act 1 ng in the public capacity of husband 1 9f the Mayoress.

 The executive board was totally fg- nored in the matter of garage ap- nCintnents and the town chairman was not even consulted. When the -"st shakeuT in the Municipal gaN~e came. City Attorney John A. Cornell was town chairman and he saw to it that his 7-DpOiate 1~ were placed on the roster of the garage.
 The naming of Burns and Harry Eliot. forne- ti:1ekeeper for the Pub lo Works department, to tn garage and bo.h on recommendation of Jo- eo~h Neisner, Republican suDerin- terdent, is considered a silent slap in the face to Town Chairman John J. McGuinnesS. successor to Cornell.
 What the executive board will dc l0 this case remains to be seen. An other matter that the executive board will consider when 1t meets is possible choices for the various city boards and governing commissions of the city government.

Of the nose is such that when the nos

an automatic process.
