MAYOR ELECT HAS MADE APPOINTMENTS

Shesler to Be Marshal, Montgomery Fire Chief and W. F. Osborne City Engineer.

Mayor-Elect Charles G. Spitler will take office the first Monday In January. He has already decided on his three appointive officers, city marshal, city engineer and city fire chief, and in each case retains the same efficient men now holding the Jobs., William R. Shesler will be continued marshal, W. Frank Osborne, engineer, and J. J. Montgomery, fire chief. There were other applicants for the job®, to be sure,, but Mr. Spitler learned after , making thorough inquiry that these officials were fulfilling their positions faithfully and to the general satisfaction of taxpayers and efficiency being the aim of Mr. Spitler, as it ha® been iwith Mayor Meyers, the claims of the men for reappointment could not be discredited. The nightwatch is not appointed by the mayor, but is elected by the council. The next election will be in June. Mr. Critser is filling the job in a faithful manner and giving satisfaction, we believe, in every respect. On the first meeting night of the council in January, Mayor Spitler will announce his committees. 1
