no opposition to the nominees, there are
two names on the ticket which were not

candidates are running for the unexpired
terms of the late Hubert Snowden and
Louis W. Brill, councilmen from these
respective wards The places are now
being filled in council by Urban S. Lam
bert and Robert NJ Graham. chosen by
council. There will probably be a contest
on the part of Messrs. Barrett and Des-
mond for retention of the seats. 1t is ex

corporation court for final settlement.
