at one of the sessions Of the new
board tomorrow.
In statement to the Sunday Tele-
gram late yesterday afternoon, MIR.
Boyd, who Is spending the week. end
at Kilmarnock, his beautiful country
place at North Falmouth, expressed
his appreciation of the offer of the
city managership and he said that
had he been in a position TO take 1t,
he felt that he and the. councillors
could have worked together SPLEEN
didly.
He paid a fine compliment to the
board elected last Monday, and said
he felt that they constituted very
efficient group of people to assume
control of city affairs under the
change which goes into effect tomor-
row.
The new government will organize
Monday and will undoubtedly con-
slider q grist of applications for the
office. More than dozen bids for
appointment have been received from
| men who are residents of some other
states, and. to date, no Portland men
have applied for the Office.
The names of several citizens have
been mentioned in connection with
this position. however. among them
being former Mayor Charles B.
Clarke. The name of Paul d. Sar-
gent, engineer of the state highway
commission, has also been talked of
in some. quarters.
The five councillors elect feel that
popular opinion here insists on the
appointment of a local man, who
knows local conditions. The duties of
the city manager include acting as

There are various rumors. disquiet-

that the present ONCE holders in City
and new appointive officers chosen
by the new council. Councillor
Freeman M. Grant very likely voices
the position of the entire council in
stating that 1.-THE new city govern
