IONDON'S NEW 1 LORD MAYOR ! TAKES OATH ! ‘Duties’ Consist in Presiding ) Over One Solitary Police Court. iP.V United Pram LONDON, Sept. 29.—Without a single bonfire or torchlight procession to celebrate the occasion Sir Harold Moore today was elected the lord mayor of the “best governed city in the world.’’ In the same methodical way that It has been done since the City of London was a walled town at the time of William the Conqueror, the board of aldermen, or the "city fathers” as they are known, gathered together in the famous old Guildhall and cast their votes for the senior member of their body. Campaign Without Speech Following a "campaign” in which hot a single speech was made or a single vote solicited, Sir Harold became the chief magistrate of the square mile of territory which constitutes his domain. The high honor of being the lord mayor of London is passed, tacitly, down the list of aldermen—each one being elected in turn, excepting only the cases where there is some objection to the next candidate or 1 in case the intended recipient feels that his purse is not equal to the position. After he formally has taken the oath of his office Nov. 9, Sir Harold will enter upon the none too strenuous duties of his office. Every Monday morning he will preside as the unpaid magistrate of the single police court maintained by the “city.” Takes Up “Duties” He preside at the monthly jneetings of the board of aldermen. *• He will act as treasurer for a Jiumber of charities. He will entertain visitors from all parts of the world—and will do it out of his own purse, for although he will receive a salary of $50,000 a year, his expenses while its office Will be several times that amount. Hardest of all, he will have to live for the one year which his term occupies in the desolate and somewhat melancholy looking pillard mansion across the street from the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange.
