CLEVELAND, Jan. 1. Th tempestuous administration of Mayor Tom L. Johnson today gave place to what is predicted will be a conservative era In municipal affairs when Herman C. Baehr, a Republican, assumed the duties cf city executive.

The passing of Johnson and the induction of. Baehr was accomplished without incident. Johnson turned over the records and retired into private life for "a six weeks' rest" It is understood he intends to undertake a tax reform campaign as soon as he has completely recuperated. Former Mayor Johnson did not reiterate his previous declaration that he will be a candidate for a fifth term at the next municipal election. He.

simply smiled when asked as to his present position. Some of the achievements of Tom Johnson, during his nine years a Mas-or, were the winning of a long fight for lower streetcar fares, abolition of "keep off the grass" signs from public parks, elimination of grade crossings, reduction of electric street lighting from $87 to $57 a lamp a year and reduction in the price of street lighting gas from $32 to $12 annually per lamp. welfare of the inhabitants of our growing city.
