who has resigned the position of first
deputy in the New York State Depart
ment of Highways to accept the local
position. He has been apr.olnted upon
tho recommendation ot Paul D. Sar
gent, the acting director ot tho federal
'bureau of good roads, arid is most
highly recommended by all the mem
bers of the New York State Highway
Commission.
Tho commission also received a let
ter from Mr. Bishop, applying for the
local position, in regard to which he
had been advised by Mr. Sargent, and
after consultation cabled accepting his
services and asking that he start for
this Territory at once. Immediately
upon his arrival steps will be taken
lowards starting work on this Island.
The first work to' be commenced, ac
cording to the plans of the commis
sion, will be the road between this
city and Papalkou, which will bo hur
ried ahead as quickly as r.ossiblo. It
is believed that there is available at
the present time enough general and
detailed information to warrant the
"statement that bids for this work can
bo called for very shortly after the ar
rival of Mr. Bishop, as beyond chang

engineering features of this work will
not be great.
APPOINTMENT

ANN IC O
The appointment of Prof. Arthur B.
Keller to the place on the Board of
Health made vacant by the resignation
of Dr. Baldwin, was formally announc
ed by Governor Frear this morning.
The suggestion to appoint Prof. Keller
was approved yesterday by the Re
publican Executive Committee, as was
stated In yesterday's Star.
In mentioning the uppolntment, the
Governor stated that Mr. Keller had
accepted tho place, and that he be
lieved he would make a valuable mem
ber of tho Board.
"We have heretofore had a very good
board of business njon and doctors,
said the Governor, "and it has been
thought advisable to have an engineer
as a member. Prof. Keller will also
' make a connecting link with the Sanl
tary Commission, which Is desirable.
Inasmuch as tlie Board Is to have many
mattom to consider, during tho next
few years, which will involve many
engineering problems, an engineer on
the Board should be of great value.'
