MAYOR TO NAME NEW OFFICIAL
Two Candidates for Posi- ton of Assistant City
 Purchasing Agent

Mayor John s. Monagan is ex- pected to announce, within the next few days, a successor to fill the place of the late Bart Quilter, former assistant city purchasing agent.
 Prominently mentioned as being considered for the post are the names of Henry Bowling and James F. Neagle. MT. Bowling is widely known in the city, having officiated in the capacity as National advertis- ing manager of the Waterbury Democrat for the past 20 years as well as an active member of the Board of Works, of which he is chairman. MT. Neagle, now assist ant purchasing agent for the Amer ican Metal Hose Company, served in an executive capacity, in the sales and estimating division, for the J. E. Smith Company for 15 years or more. He was also assistant gen. eral manager of c. A. Templeton's s for eight years.
 Despite rumors that Martin J. Sweeney, present city purchasing agent will not be reappointed on January 1st, no official word as to this move has been forthcoming. On the basis that such 8 move is fact, it is expected that the suc- cessor to the late MT. Quilter will be automatically moved up into the top position, the first of next year.
 Cause for the rumor is based on the attempted passage of bill, in the last legislature and sponsored by Senator Francis Summa, which was to place the purchasing agent into his job on life time basis. It is re- ported that the administration, who successfully defeated this bill, will wield the axe in retribution for such a maneuver.
 The city purchasing agents posi- ton pays $4,500 per year plus, at present, the $500 yearly increase for cost of living increase. The assist ants position calls for a salary of $2,086.67 plus the $500 increase.
