Thursday her smile was as ready and open as in the days when she was only a city council member. She was in fine fettle and seemed eager to continue with her program. Thursday morning she arrived at her office early to carry out her program. Captain Bannick was the first visitor. After spending some time in private confer- ence with him, Corporation Counsel T. J, L. Kennedy was called in and gave legal advice in drawing up the proclamation by which Mrs, Landes took over the reins of the police department. Later, Mrs. Landes interviewed the newspapermen and posed for pictures with her new acting chief, Cap- tain Bannick, She maintains the same kindly and cheerful demeanor that has characterized her actions since she assumed the mayor's chair.
