Small pressure groups are ex pending lots of steam to attem pt to sway M ayor-elect Torn Wil Hums' mind concerning city np pointments. According to Williams, he has promised the people of the city u "refreshing" change, and that'« what he plans to do. Just whut the city council plans to do is unother story. Ac cording to one m em ber of the city council the member» of the council are 100 per cent of one mind to retain the present ad m inistrative heads of the police departm ent and the city water and light departm ent and the present city attorney. What the council will do J a n uary 4 when William make his i ecomm endations concerning new appointees to replace City Sup erintendent Elmer Blegel, Police Chief Clarence Williams, and City Attorney Wllllums Brigg' may be to not confirm any of Williums' appointments.
