Written applications will be con- sidered by the Council tonight and it is expected that appointments also will be made then. Speculation Rife Speculation will be rife until after the meeting over the ap- pointment of the Chief of Police, inasmuch as it is unofficially understood that C. J. Davis, pres- ent head of the police deparment, will not seek office another term. However, if the Council runs true to form and follows custom, there will be no speculation over the fire department appointments. The department recently voted on its nominees and the Council probably will accept their recommendations. The first department has selected V. W. Mulvihill as Fire Chief; William Neiderhauser as Assistant Fire Chief; Minard Mill and J. 8. McKinnon as Company Foremen, and H. M. Porter as Alarm Care- taker. Dock? City Hall officials were not cer- tain this afternoon whether the Northland Transportation Company proposition to move from Fem- mers Dock to the municipally- owned City Dock would be dis- cussed tonight.
