Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Mr..
Tice has had improvements made in
the p~ostoflce from time to time, but
the employees claim there was not
sufficient help on hand for the
amount of work to be done. A new
building was erected and f1rst-class
service was established July /, 1907.
Since then many business men claim
the service has not been f1rst-class
as it should be. This Is attributed
to Mr.. Tees efforts to economic for
the government. His salady was in
creased June 6 from $4,000 to
$500 a year. According to his last
appointment his term will be up next
February and it is believed he will
not be replaced by Mr.. Pfeiffer be-
fore that time unless he has been
officially removed.
No Credit for Strong.
1t is learned upon very good
authority that Theodore Strong had
nothing to do with making the
change. 1t is said that the depart
ment made the change as a result of
local conditions and have been con-
sidering the matter for some time.
Collector of the Port.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that the appointment of a collector
Of the port to succeed Robert Carson
will be held over for another year,

wishing to stir the matter up at this
time. 1t is understood that If Theo-
dore Strong has anything to say as
to who the collector shall be, G. Asa
Francis, of Long Branch, will be the
man.
