PHILLIPS Is
SLATED FOR
BOARDPOST
New G. O. P. Member of
Aldermen Will Become
Police Commissioner
APPOINTMENT WILL
BE MADE in JANUARY
Retiring Commissioner De-
feated in City Election
i'm October

Alderman elect a.ncis T.
Phillips, member of the R. F.
Grigss Company, investment
brokers, is to be named a member
of the board of police commits
sioners for the coming two years
when Mayor Frank Hayes enters
upon his third consecutive term on
the first Monday of January, it
was learned on good authority to-
day. Mr. Phillips, candidate
for the board of aldermen on the
republican ticket in the recent city
election, will be one of the three
new mem bers of the board sworn
in for the 1934-35 period.
Aiderman-elect Phillips will sue
coed Alderman Pasquale Perriello.
The latter lost out in the city cleo
ton. The other two new repub-
lican members of the aldermanic
board are Alderman-elect Simeon
Nichols and Louis Liebeskind. The
republicans going off are Alderman
Joseph Bergin, Oscar LaCroiX and
Perriello.
The retirement of Alderman
Commissioner Perriello will also
create vacancies on important COM
mittees of the board of police
commissioners. Alderman Per-
riello is members of the COM
mittee of rules and regulations and
the committee on traffic regula-
tions. 1t is possible. although not
an assured fact, that Alderman
elect Phillips will go on these two
committees, succeeding the present
republican incumbent who is
about to retire.
On the first Monday of January,
also. Mayor Hayes will make his
general board appointments for the
coming two years. All the boards
are now under a two-year tenure.
The incumbents now will be reap
pointed by Mayor Hayes. The only
vacancy will be that on the police
board. OF course, for the past
year and half a. vacancy has ex-
listed on the board of works, due
to tine death of the late Commits
sioner Thomas Flaherty. Mayor,
Hayes, it is said. is planning to
name a successor to Mr. Flaherty
soon, possibly when he names all
his boards in January.
