Show prom from the diary of a faithful contributor by GUESS WHO dear doc of course doc you are not thoroughly posted on hardly anything that is going on in our fair city you are so busy playing nurse maid to that dog of yours but I 1 just thought I 1 would tell you there is a lot of discussion going on about the jobs to be handed out by the new city administration of course I 1 dont know just how this new city administration operates whether the council appoints and the mayor approves or whether the mayor approves and the council appoints or whether the mayor councils or just what the exact procedure is but anyway what I 1 started to tell you was that there is a lot of interest in who is going to get one of the jobs in particular I 1 have reference to the position of town weather prophet there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the fellows who have been running the taxpayers taxpayer have come to the conclusion that arch W young gus W blomquist and james B ramsay who have been holding this position in the past ire are nothing but a bunch of ground hog weather prophets and that their predictions cannot be relied on whatsoever I 1 understand gus claims to have john dunns support but I 1 dont believe that will get him anywhere now take jim he does all his weather around the kitchen if he would even stay in the front room it would not be so bad but he continually hangs around the kitchen you can see that cant you and as for arch young he gets all his dope from government reports and who ever heard of a government report that was right whether it was signed by andy mellon or old man wickersham or any of them fellers but I 1 have a man in mind that has demonstrated to me that he has all the qualifications necessary to fill this very responsible position A young man raised right here in this country before the depression hit us and he has seen a hundred hundred winters and can tell you and does tell you all about them I 1 will tell you what I 1 seen him do doc right in front of my eyes we were standing on the sidewalk the other morning and the weather was nice and balmy he called my attention to a large cloud rapidly traveling over the west mountain pretty soon the snow began to fall thick and fast after a careful pause he brushed off his coat joked me squarely in the eye and said mick if this keeps up half an hour I 1 believe it might snow he was right so if this administration wants a in man well qualified for the position one who is the choice of pric practically all the people except the other candidates whom I 1 have heretofore mentioned a man who will NU save the taxpayers money and hire no deputies but will be on the job himself I 1 present the name of the honorable kenneth L hood for town water I 1 mean weather prophet my aly eloquence nearly got the best of me on the finish you have never been so very eloquent doc so you wont understand that |
