Three Appointments
One of the first official acts of
the new mayor was to appoint Phil
Herold, city clerk and city treasur-
or; j. j. Lowe, chief of police; and
James v. Robins. city attorney. The
BOARD immediately confirmed these
appointments.
At the meeting it was brought cut
that Mr.. Wise also favored the ap-
1y0irttnler1t of Mr.. Herold as police
Judge and superintendent of streets,
and that he stood for elimination
OF the office of city health officer
He advocated that the county health
officer look after the duties per-
formed the past several years by
city health officer.
1t was expected that the matter
of HeroId also being appointed po-
lice Judge and street superintendent
would be further considered at q
recessed meeting last night.
Mayor Wise said at the initial
session of the new board Thurs
day that he would to a great extent
leave up to the council any proposed
change in the office of sealer of
weights and measures. II don't

and measures means protection to
the public, said Mayor Wise.
Alderman Vessel said he felt that
the office of esealer of weights and
measures should be an office by it
self and that in time it would pay

continue to act as sealer of weights
and measures in connection with his
office as chief of police, or an en-
tire1y new man will be appointed,
viii be known definitely within the
next few days, it lis expected.
K. S. Nfandell, a representative of
the Masquelette Company, Ell Paso

Gil of the condition OF the books. He
said the system now being used was
installed when NogaIes was much
smaller place, and recommended
that it be revamped. Il don't thinE
anyone. is. directly to blame. MI.
Herold has followed the accounts
the best he could under the present
system He keeps a paving record
which is very good 1t was made by
Mr.. Robins, he is a lawyer and has
got everything in it that's legal.
That book is a good book but if
you attempt to reconcile that book
to the general ledger you're going to
have a headache, said Mr.. Mandell
Mandell also declared there is a
. terrible" duplication in some book
I'm the interest of economy the
first thing to do is to cut out un-
necessary work, said Mandell. A
new system would diminish the wori,
of the city treasurer by one half, hs
added.
Council then voted to have the
