FOR
OPEN PLACE
WATER BOARD
Nothing lins been published and little
him been sold about the election of
water commissioners a week from next
Monday, but there Is u heated race on
between Thomas F. Stocks, the present
commissioner from the First ward, and
Joseph V 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
officio, and the chairman of the water
works committee, ex-offlclo. The terms
of two expire this year, those of Mr.
Stocks and Mr. Hugh Dorsey.
Mr. Dorsey, only a few months ago,
was elected to succeed Sir. M. M.
Welch, who resigned. As far as can bo
learned, there is no opposition to him,
and he will he re-elected by council at
the next meeting of that body.
Mr. Btocks, on the other band, Is op
posed by Mr. Cobb, and the friends of
each are doing their utmost with coun
cil. Mr. Cobb will be nominated by
Mayor Pro Teni. Harwell, alderman
from the First ward, which nomination
will he 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.
