QUICK RECOVERY
FROM UNDER The

David G. Garrabrant, Prominent

Successfully passing under the doc
tors knife, David G. Garrabrant, "a
well-to-do and prominent resident OF
Bloomfield, is today recovering at his
home there from an operation for APP
pendicitis, performed yesterday after
noon. He was taken i'll with pains that
indicated appendicitis two or three

operate, and DR.. Frank G. Bum, OF

Who will be the next assessor of
South Orange?
That is a question much discussed in
that village just now. Whether or not
there is anyone in South Orange who
wants the position is yet to be re-
vealed, for the village board of trust ees
has failed to receive any application
for the office since it became vacant
by the resignation of Frank Fenner, on
January J..
Appointments by the present board
have reached the stage where they are
regarded as "hoodoos'' by South Or.
angeites, and it is said in the village
that no one wants to become assessor
because of the ill-luck which seems to
have taken a grip among the village
officers, causing vacancies by death or
designations.
The first vacancy of the administra-
tion occurred two years ago, when Free
holder Henry M. Meeder died. He was
succeeded by John Barrett, who was
appointed by the village board of srus-
tees. He then became i'll and remained
so until he was elected to that office.
Following this came the designations Ct
