Stocks, the present commissioner from the First ward, and Joseph L. Cobb, Jr„ an employee of the R. F.. Winn wholesale grocery estab lishment. There are ten water commissioners, one from each ward, the mayor, ex- offlclo, and the chairman of the water works committee, ex-officio. The termtC of two expire this year, those of Mr. Stocks and Mr. Hugh Dorsey. Mr. Dorsey, only a few months ago, was f elected to succeed Mr„ M. M. Welch, who resigned. As far as can be learned, there Is no opposition to hint, and he will be re-elected by council ut the next meeting of that body. Mr. Stocks, on the other hand, Is op posed by Mr. Cobh* and the ffiends of each are doing their utmost with coun cil. Mr. Cobb will be nominated by Mayor Pro Tern. Harwell, alderman from the First ward, which nomination will be seconded by Councilman Cur tis. senior councilman from the First ward. The board of water commissioners Is probably the most important of the city government, and the race between ,Messrs. Cobb and Stocks wll be watch ed with great Interest.
