Maloney said last evening. Every appointive office in the city will be filled irrespective of any political tendencies and with only the idea of obtaining the highest possible degree of efficiency, Mr. Maloney promised. He expressed his thanks and appreciation of the big vote rolled up for him and said that at the end of his two years of office nobody would be able to say he had not done his best. Mr. Maloney looked tired after his strenuous double campaign, but he was delighted at the result and expressed his pleasure at the vote received by his colleagues on the democratic ticket. He will assume office the first Monday in May and has the power to appoint a city clerk, city engineer, city attorney, city physician, employes of the city health office and officials in control of street improvements and care.
