WARD 7 CANDIDATES.
N. 8. Parsons Out for the Council
johnson and Gray for Aldermen.

Norman B. Parsons of ward will
stand as a candidate for nomination to
the common council. in the republican
municipal caucuses. Mr.. Parsons has
consented to allow the use Of his name
at the urgent request Of several of his
friends who are property owners in his
section of the city.
Mr.. Parsons is "a years old, and comes
from a family which has been identi-
fed with the growth of that part of the
city included in ward Z, and has the
confidence and respect of his acquaint-
ances. He was candidate for the COM
mon council two years ago, when there
were several candidates in the field,
and under these circumstances made a
creditable showing.
Rumor has it that Councilman F. D.
Johnson would like a seat in the upper
board this year, which would leave
vacancy in the common council. 1t is
also stated that Arthur E. Gray of ward
Z would like to be an alderman, but
there are grave doubts in the minds of
many as to whether ward could land
two men in the upper board.

pense of Decorating the Walls.
Edward Roberts, inspector for the
treasury department at Washington,
was in Worcester Saturday and heiG i
short conference with Postmaster j.
Evarts Greene, relative to proposed
improvements at the Federal building.
From what can be learned 1t is evil
dent that the department considers
Inspector Congder's estimate too
high. Mr.. Roberts instructions are to
recommend such improvements as are
necessary for the health and comfort
of employees
From the present outlook 1t is prob
able that nothing aside from tinting
the walls and ceiling on the first floor
of the building will be done 1t had
been planned to work in something in
the way of ornamental borders and CEN
terpieces for ornament, but the out
look is dubious ut present Mr.. Roberts
will be in Worcester again Saturday.

RISE in COAL.

The Winter Schedule Went Into Effect
Yesterday.
The usual autumn rise in the price
Of coal has come and the people who
are short on their supplies are saying
all sorts of things to themselves and
friends. The rise this year was fifty
cents on the ton, making the following
prices current: Stove $3.50; chestnut,
$3.50; furnace, 1925; Franklin, So; Lee
high, 81.
The rise as usual is caused by the
coal combine, which put up the prices,
AMI 1t is not probable that 1t will lower
them until spring, SO all coal consum-
ers can do is grin and bear it.
