FEW CHANGES IN
SUMMIT OFFICES
Swain, Schultz and Hicks Are
All Slated FOR Reappoint-
ment to City Jobs.

Especial 10 the Newark Star.l
SUMMIT, Dec. 1S.-Few changes
seem likely to be made among the
salaried city office-holders whose
terms will expire January by Mayor
elect Francis II. Bergen, Republican,
and the new Common Council, which
will be composed of six Republicans
and one Democrat.
As councilman-at-lar and presi-
dent of Common Council, Clement K.
Corbin will succeed Thomas NJ. Debe-
voise, while James Trnslow Adams,
son of the retiring mayor, and Walter
S. Topping win take the place of Her
mann Deselding, from the First ward,
and Frederick T. Lawrence, from the
Second ward, respectively, each for a
three-year term.
The hold-oVer members are Guy
Bates, who has one year to serve,
completing the unexpired term of III
G. Chopper. whom Mr.. Bates succeed
ed Edward G. Pringle, the sole
Democratic member, and Frederick
II. Doremus.
The job of street superintendent,
now held by William IL. Swain, is the
highest salaried berth. Mr.. Swain re-
ceives 81, 440 per year, and he will
doubtless be reappointed, although he
is a Democrat. AS collector of taxes,
which position pays 81, 200 yearly, Col
lector William Schultz will be named
to succeed himself for three-year
period.
The two-year term of Police JUS
tice Arthur w. Hicks also expires
January l, and so far as can be
learned he will be given the position
again. The salary is 5000 per year.
Tax Assessor Stephen r. Mullen's
term expires the first of the year and
he will not accept reappointment.
Frederick Luhden it seems, will get
the appointment for three years. The
salary is $500 per year.
The terms of City Electrician
Stephen w. Borden and Dog Warden
Elmer Day also end and both will be
reappointed if they will accept, it is
understood. The first-named job pays
$3.50 per year and that of dog warden
$12O.
Mayor Bergen win have the
appointment of two members of the
Board of Education. The terms of
three members of the present board
will expire January 81, Robert M.
Cow, Robert Nixon and Miles S.
Sherwood. 1t is expected the two
frst-named will be reappointed by the
new mayor. Under the new school
Jaw the SCHOOL bOdTus WHlCH IOI SOillc
time had been composed of nine men,
oers and during the past year six,
will have five members. One mem Der
Of the board of trustees of the Free
Public Library to succeed William
Scofeld Day and a member of the
City Sinking Fund Commission to
succeed j. Franklin Haas are to be
named by Mr. Bergen Other APP
continents will be two members of
the Board of School Estimate to sue
coed Mr. Debevoise and Councilman
Knight and a representative on the
Joint Trunk Sewer Commission also
to succeed Councilman Knight. Build
ing Inspector Seaman H. Wright will
be reappointed for one year. The sal
airy is $500. The board of fire chiefs,
Timothy j. Scott, Charles Wilson,
William McCue and Frank J. Cush-
ing, also expire, but just what the
council will do in filling these offices
Is not as yet known, although it is
said Chief Scott may succeed himself.
In such event the other members of
the board are likely to retain their
present positions
