~ (De ae A CURDIAPUTS OFFICAL BAN ON CLOCK WATCHIN New Aldermanic President Puts Hours at “9 A. M. Uutil Through.” Aléermanic President FP. H. La Quartia arrived at City Hall ten min- utes to nine this morning—five min- tates Inter than Mayor Hytan—to be- gin bis first business day. Mise Charlotte Delafield, Secretary Mr. La Guardia, and Charles 8. De- voy, Ansistant to the Atdermantc President, were at their desks prompt- ly “dt nine o'clock. x “What will be your office houre? the new President was asked. “Nine o'clock until the day's work {a done,” he promptly replied. *Buppose the day's work ts finished et 2 o'clock,” was sugested. “If the city’s business is conducted thoroughly it cannot be burried,” an- @wered the man who served in Con- fess and in om airplane dn the Italian battlefront before ‘he decided to take a chance at guiding seventy- odd Aldermen along official paths. “What do you consider the biggest task bofore you?” he was asked. “There are a mutmber of tasks whose magnitude all appears great,” repreplied Mr. La Guardia. “One, of course, is the solution of the Jamaica Bay improvement muddle. Congress considered the Jamaica Bay develop- ment sufficiontly important to war- rant an appropriatign for the dredg- dmg of the canal of channel there. Tt appears to mo that the exist- ing differences can ba easily adjusted. “The city must have more port fa- Gilities, such as piers, terminals and railways. If it does not keep pact with the times other ports nearby will take away our business.” The chief officials to take office in ‘Manhattan besides Mr. La Guardia were: Henry M. Curran, who became Bor- ough President ‘of Manhattan, suc- ceeding the late Frank L. Dowling, whose place has been temporarily filled by Michael F. Loughman, Su- preme Court Justice Philip J. McCook, who succeeded Justice Robert L. Lace, and Surrogate James A. Foley, who succeeded Robert L. Fowler and had the distinction of being the only Tam- many man elected to a city or county yoffice in the recent glection. The new officials, recently elected appointed, in Brooklyn, took office ‘to-day. They were Sheriff John Drescher and Registrar Edward T. \Maddox. Both gave short talks: to ‘their assistants. Magistrate Lawrence C, Fish, lat- yest ten-year appointee to the Police Court bench by Mayor Hylan, rer ceived an ovation in the Gates Ave- mue Court, Brooklyn, this morninng, on his first appearance. A hundred friends were there to cognratulate him, and among other gifts yas a huge horse-shoe of carnations, in- Ont. Jan, 2.—Walter .

POLITENESS COSTS LIFE AT ANSONIA Peter Lee's politeness cost him his! life enrly to-day at the Hotel An- sonia, 78d Street and Rroadway, where ho was an elevator operator.

He noticed that because of her heavy furs and stoves she was hav- ing difficulty unlocking her door and went to ald her As they got the oor open he glanced toward his car and saw {t was plowly dencending. Running back he tried to grasp the lever and shut off the power, but was too late The rvof of the descending ‘elevator caught him and he was crushed between it and the floor of |the corridor.
