FREEHOLDERS 10 ORGANIZEMONDAY Dr. George E. Davies Will Suc ceed Dr. Maiatesta at Overbrook. The organization of the lslu Boat'd of Freeholders Monday noon will be a very quiet affair. Three Demo crats. Fred C. Steck, Emmett J. Quinn and John H. Waters, elected at the November election, will become members of the board. tt will be the first time the Demo crats will have representation on the small Board of Freeholders, the board last year having been solidly Republican. The work will not be new to the new members, Mr. Steck having represented the Fourteenth ' ward. TVfr. Quinn the Eleventh ward and Mr. Waters Belleville on the 1011 board, the last one to consist of thirty-three members. According to the slate, as made up at the present time, but which may he revised at e. caucus to be held to morrow afternon, there will be few t anv changes made in the county officer*. Walter A. Evans, of South Orange- will again be elected director <if the board and Frank E. W ard will be made board clerk. Da*lM t« Sneered Dr. Malatesta. Two changes in appointments will be made at the Overbrook Asylum for the Insane, where Dr. George Davies will be made second assistant physician to succeed Dr. Joseph Mala ga. resigned, and Dr. Drew Wanl lier will be named an assistant ph> sician. instead of medical interne. Dr. Guy Payne will be renamed med ical superintendent and Benjamin R. Bailey warden of the institution.

Mc Kenzie, who will be renamed county physician, to name his own assistant, .,s In the past. The county physician draws a salary of $6,500 a year, but pays his assistant out of this sum.
