as large attendance as possible, in
order for the general public to OBJ
serve the growth of instrumental
music in the county schools.

Juvenile Court
Appoints Case Worker

With the approval of the Board
of County Commissioners, Juvenile
Court Judge Evan Crossley has ap-
pointed James M. Brown, of Balti-
more, as a case worker of the Juve-
nile Court, at salary of $500 a
year. Mr.. Brown, who has consid-
cradle training experience in this
type of work, was highly recon-
mended to Judge Crossley.
Mr.. Browns appointment was
made possible through an act of the
State Legislature, at the recent ses-
sion, which authorized an additional
case worker for the Juvenile Court
here.

torney, the office of Tax Collector
and City Treasurer, the Office of
Personnel Director, the office of Pur-
chasing Agent and an entirely new
position of Inspector of Weights and
Measures.
Under an act of the Legislature
passed in 1851, all cities with a pop
ulation in excess of $4,000 were re-
quired to appoint an Inspector of
Weights and Measures. This APP
pointment was never made under the
Mills Administration and we under
stand that Mr.. Burhans intends to
nominate someone for this job to-
night.
All the Heads of Departments, as
well as the City Clerk, are subject
to appointment by the incoming
Mayor, but we do not look for any
new appointments at this time, other
than those mentioned above.
There are, of course, a number of
minor appointments that the Mayor
can make, such as the market mas
ter, assistant market master, the SUI
perintendent of the city dump, and
the building and plumbing inspec-
tors, but it will remain to be seen
tonight, whether there will be any
nominations for these jobs.
