MAUZY APPOINTED OILINSPECTOR

For This District and Will Succeed -Honan Unless Redistricting of State Affects ,Us. • ______ • ' • . . ; -r Charles G. Mauzy, former republican chairman of Benton county and a man who has taken active interest in politics, has been remembered by Governor James P. Goodrich, who recently appointed him a deputy oil inspector or this district. E. P. Honan, of this city, has been the oil inspector for this district for the past few years and if this section is not affected by the redistricting of the oil districts of the state, will give up his position to Mr. Mauzy. Mr. Honan has not been infunned as yet that he is to be let out. His district embraced Benton, Newton and Jasper counties, but it is understood that Mr. Mauzy will have only Benton and Jasper under his jurisdiction and that Newton will be in another district, although the report has not as yet been confirmed. It will be remembered that the of■fice of oil inspector was one of the state offices that Governor Goodrich wished to have abolished by the legislature in keeping with his economy program, but that body took a different view of the matter. Democratic inspectors throughout the state are The position of a deputy oil inspector is a very remunerative one and one worth making every effort te obtain, The surprising thing is that no local citizen made a bid for this position. Probably one thing that kept many from tryinv for the office was the attitude of Governor Goodrich, who wished to abolish the office, and would have done so if given the support of the legislature, which it was felt by many that he would have.
