Oscar 8. Straus was an admirable « Henry W. Hodge strengthens the commission with the servicvs of an exceptionally eat- nent engineer. The Senate has confirmed both nominations. ‘1 public heartily approves them. The two new namcs arouse less enthusiasin. objection. Travis H. Whitney, it is trae, lacks ueither ability ence. As Secretary of the Public Service Commission of this district during the McCall period, however, Mr. Whitney's name necesearily | connects itself with a badly discredited regime. He is, as Chairman Thompson of the legislative investigating committee has insisted, “an| essential part of a bad system which has not been in any way repre-| sentative of the people.” | Charles 8. Hervey, Deputy Comptroller of this city, is known as am experienced accountant and finance expert. As such he helped! frame Gov. Whitman's State budget and supported the $20,000,000, direct State tax which the Governor needlessly imposed upon the} State’s taxpayers. That is not a service likely ‘to inspire confidences in Mr, Hervey at this end of the State. Both these nominations need to be carelully scrutinized before they are confirmed, ‘ Gov.
