John S. Holbrook Appointed to the Rhode Island State House Commission by Governor Pothier
Providence, R. I., Feb. 8—John S. Holbrook, vice-president of the Gorham Mfg. Co., was appointed by Governor Aram J. Pothier on Tuesday as a member of the Rhode Island State House Commission to fill the vacancy caused by the recent resignation of James M. Scott. The nomination of Mr. Holbrook for the office was sent to the State Senate in the afternoon. It was confirmed yesterday without a dissenting vote.
In making the nomination Governor Pothier announced that he had not consulted Mr. Holbrook in the matter, but that he had named him because he knew that he was a recognized authority on designs and statutes of various kinds, and that for that reason he believed that he was ideally fitted for the place.
After the confirmation by the Senate Mr. Holbrook announced that he had accepted the appointment. His appointment is for the unexpired term expiring Jan. 31, 1917.
