Municipal Committee were discussed for
two hours yesterday by the Committee OF
Twenty that was picked at the public

lie the movement for an anti-Tammany
ticket. At the meeting yesterday held in
the Fifth Avenue Building the committee

sen as the result of conferences in the
last week
More than three hundred names were
submitted for consideration, and, although
the size of the committee has not been
fixed. IL was desired to keep it below 100
Hence much winnowing will have to be
done. 1t was decided to have lists Of the
names prepared for each member of the
Committee Of Twenty that he might sub
ject them TO the most careful scrutiny,
with a view TO determining the best.
Each member will report next week at

DR.. Moskowitz said that in selecting the
committee care would be taken TO see
that each borough had proper representa-
ton; also that the proper balance was
maintained among political parties, al
though no man would be chosen solely for
political reasons
DR.. MoskowitZ said there was no dispo-

anti-Tammany organizations to criticise
the way i'm which the committee was do

For Free CITY Delivery.

Application has been made to the post
office department at Washington for the
esta blishment of free city delivery for
Ellsworth.
Under the postoffice laws and regula-
tions city or town, the receipts of whose
postoffice are $4,000 aud over per year, is
entitled to free delivery.
The receipts of the Ellsworth postoffice
passed the $4,000 mark in 1907-s. At that
time it was found impossible to establish
the system owing to lack of facilities for
handling the business, and steps were at
once taken for an enlargement of the
postoffice. A bill was introduced in Con-
gress appropriating a sum sufficient to
acquire needed land and for the building
of the extension.
After long delay the extension has been
built, and the office is now ample for the
accommodation of the free oeliTery sys-
tenn when esta ablished.
A petition very generally signed has
been forwarded to the department, and it
is expected that action looking to the
granting of the petition will be taken at
an early day, and it is hoped that the sys-
tenn may be in operation by the beginning
of the next fiscal year-July 1.
