As Building Commissioner for Chicago after Henry Ericsson, resigned, has been appointed Mr. Charles Bostrom.

The appointment is pleasing, not merely on account of the nationality of the appointee, but because he enjoys reputation as a a capable and conscientious man who will undoubtedly execute his new tasks in a creditable manner.

Mr. Bostrom was born in Sweden and came to Chicago in 1894. He is a carpenter and builder, and has on his own account erected several city blocks or, rather, city sections, and these have even been considered models of city building.

In 1912, he was the candidate of the Lincoln League for the office of county president.
