WATSON Will Head
WATER COMMISSION
FOR ANOTHER Term
Chairman Of Board Reappointed
to Office by Mayor
guigley
DEMOCRAT WILL KEEP
HIS EXECUTIVE BERTH

Opposite Party a 81 200 Annually
Incumbent Has Been In Public
Service Since Term As Councilman
in 1907.
Speculation on the status Of Chair
man James ]. Watson Of the water
board, whose term expired nearly a
month ago, ended today when Mayor
Quigley announced his re-appoint-
ment.
The mayors action returns Wat
son 10 standing as a commissioner,
his present status being that Of a
hold-over as provided in the city
charter which directs that those
whose terms expire continue to serve
until they are re-appointed or their
successors selected. At the next
meeting Of the board he will be re-
elected chairman, other members Of
the board being in agreement on this
action.
That his continuance as chairman
meets the approval OF Quigley is in
Gicated by the absence of any COM
munication to the contrary TO the
three serving with Watson, and his
statement today that he ''presumes
and expects" that this will be done.
Watson is Democrat
The Craftsmanship of the water
board is the highest paid commits
sionership in the city. the salary
being $1,000. It is known that con-
siderable opposition has been voiced
in republican organization circles to
continuing Watson because he is a
democrat. The mayor has been
urged to give the post to a republi-
can. Ernest \. Humphrey and Will
liam B. Rossberg, both Of whom are
former chairmen, have been put
forth as acceptable appointees, but
the mayor eliminated both by ap-
pointing Humphrey to the chairman
ship of the board Of public works
and Rossberg TO the advisory COM
mittee on water projects.
Nearly 20 Years in Office
Chairman Watson is a seasoned
publicofficial with a record of near
ly a score Of years in the public
service. He represented the fifth
ward as councilman from 1907 to
1910. then advanced to the post OF
alderman. He resigned from the
council in 1912 to accept an appoint
ment by Mayor Joseph NJ. Halloran
to the board of assessors. When
Mayor Quigley was elected in 1914
he retained Watson.
Upon the election OF Mayor o. F.
Curtis in 1920, Watson left the board
Of assessors. remaining out Of public
Office until 1926 when Mayor Gard
rer c. Weld appointed him as one Of
the democratic members of the
water board. When William L.
Hatch resigned the Craftsmanship
during the administration of Mayor
A. NJ. Paonessa, Watson was elected
as his successor. His term expired
May 81.

It is to be remembered in this
connection that determination of
the court will control the flow of
that money as long as the statute
interpreted by the court remains in

of the cases, decide disposition of
more than $11, ,000,OOO which has ac-
