4 THE STJyDAY OREGOyiAX. FORTLAM), JUNE 24, 1917. 11 CITY JOB HUNTERS HARROWING DOWN Contesting Applicants Have Only One Week More to Sit on Anxious Bench. CHANCES ARE DISCUSSED Commissions In Various Depart ments Will Slake Recomxnenda-' tions, Wliicli, It Is Believed, Council Will Follow. This week will see a culmination. In all probability, of the job-hunting- rush at the City Hall. It Is expected that the question of appointments will be settled In most every case before the new officials tak'e office a week from tomorrow. The assignment of the Commission era to their respective departments, as announced Friday night by Mayor elect Baker, has narrowed the Question of appointments down to a few appli cants. The question of removals and new appointments in subordinate posi tions in the various departments will assume definite form this week also. Commissioners Will Co-operate. All of the Commissioners have ex pressed a desire to co-operate with Mayor-elect Baker In the matter of ap pointments, and Mr. Baker has Indi cated that the recommendation of the Commissioners In charge of each de partment, where an appointment Is to be made by the Council as a whole, should have considerable weight. A. L. Barbur will have charge of the Public Works Department, and there fore his recommendation as to the position of city engineer undoubtedly will carry much weight. He refused to say yesterday who he favors for the position. Philip H. Dater, the present city engineer, and O. Laurgaard are the principal aspirants. Mayor-elect Baker favors Mr. Dater for the place, believing that he is a diligent, com petent engineer with a clean record. Mann Will Select Health Officer. The appointment of a health officer will be up to Commissioner-elect Mann. It, Is thought there Is a chance of Dr. M. B. Marcellus being retained. He is now in service with the Third Oregon Regiment. The race for the position during Dr. Marcellus' absence Is be tween Dr. George Parrlsh and Dr. John Abele. Both have strong recommenda tions from the medical fraternity of Portland. For City Auditor a decision seems to be up to Commissioner Bigelow. It is said Mayor-elect Baker and Mr. Mann stand for G. H. Funk, while Commis sioners-elect Barbur and Kellaher are for James Gill, Deputy City Auditor. Mr. Bigelow. therefore, stands In posi tion of shifting the Job either to Gill or Funk. He has refused to intimate what he will do. Chief of Police Up to Baker. Appointment- of a Chief of Police . will be up to Mr. Baker, Inasmuch as he Is head of the police bureau. The outcome of thla. appointment Is still purely a matter of conjecture, with Chief Clark and N. F. Johnson, director of the Public Employment Bureau. the leading aspirants. There are In numerable applicants for the place. The race for Municipal Judge Is be tween Judge Stevenson and George Rossman. with the lines not drawn sufficiently close to tell which la the more likely. At a meeting of the new Council to morrow morning at 10 o'clock It Is . probable the subject of appointments will be discussed, and possibly soma definite decisions will be reached. HOME .
