Mr, Kehoe suggested that new members of the board bhe ap- pointed, one each year for a term of four years. As there are to be four members of the board this would mean that at all times there would be three men on the board with a work- ing knowledge of the system. The suggestion met with instant favor and when it was put as a motion it was passed as a part of the mnew civil service ordinance.

To own a Franklin Enclosed Car means the ability to drive both country and city every day in the year. ; Most people think of the en- closed car as entirely a winter car. But anyone who knows Frank- lin Enclosed Cars, with their scientifio light weight, easy bandling, economy and perfect ventilation, will tell you that these cars are even more com- fortable for summer touring than the open models. Whether or not you are think- ing of a new car any time soon, by all means get acquainted with the utility of Franklin Enclosed Cars.
