SUPERINTENDENT
FOR FAIRGROUNDS
With Opening of Spring 1t Is Consid-
cred Very Important to Have
Executive in Charge

The Chamber of Commerce which last
Friday asked the city commission for $4SO
for the local playground association yes
terday withdrew the request. The money
has been raised in another way, 1t was
stated
Instead, the committee asked the COM
missioners to fill the office of superinten-
dent of Fairgrounds, which it created
last summer, and which has been vacant
for some months. Physical Director West
of the Y. NJ. c. A., has been giving the
matter some attention, but has been un-
able to give it what it deserves it Is
stated on account of his other duties.
1t Is stated that the playground move
ment in Birmingham at the present time
is losing ground, and all because there
is no active executive head in charge,
such as a superintendent is intended to
be. Many of the grounds are without
equipment and debts incurred last sum
mer for equipment are still unpaid
Therefore, it has been urged upon the
commissioners that it Is necessary to MI
the office of superintendent as soon as
possible. as the Fairgrounds VIII soon
open up for the spring.

CHAMBER TO MAKE
ELECTION PLANS
Not Believed Any Insurgent
Ticket Against Shook
Will Develop

The election committee of the Chamber
of Commerce will meet tomorrow after
noon at 8 o'clock in the directors room.
1t is called for the purpose of making
final plans for the holding of the annual
election, which is called for Friday next.
The polls will be open from L o'clock TO
o'clock and full vote is counted upon.
Secretary Radcliffe says he will have
cigars for the benefit of the members
who come to cast their ballots and the
social feature of the election will be worth
while
Paschal G. Shook, the presidential nom
inee, will be unopposed, it is thought. II
any opposition develops it will have to
be before o'clock this afternoon, for,
according to the constitution and bylaws
of the Chamber of Commerce, an opposi-
tion ticket must be on the bulletin at
least three days before the election.
There is small likelihood, it is said of an
insurgent ticket being placed in the field.
for Mr.. Shook is perhaps the strongest
man in the Chamber of Commerce to
make the race.
Associated with Mr.. Shook on the ticket
are j. d. Moore, first vice president. and
j. Frank Rushton, second vice president,
who also are considered very strong can
didates. The selections of the nominating
committee will be ratified in toto on Fri
day, is the opinion of members of the
chamber.

WOULD CONFISCATE
PISTOLS AND GUNS
Weatherly Thinks Weapons
Taken From Prisoners
Should Be Destroyed

CITY Commissioner James Weatherly Is
considering Offering an ordinance for
adoption by the commission which will
declare as eontraband all pistols and
weapons taken from persons convicted
of carrying concealed weapons or using
weapons to commit crime, the entire loi
to be destroyed in toto at certain inter
walls.
The legal phase of the matter will bc
placed in the hands of city Attorney
BOYD in the near future. AS yet there
is some doubt as to the authority of the
commission to adopt such an ordinance
If the city attorney holds it can be done
legally, then Mr.. Weatneriy states he
will offer the ordinance and work for its
adoption.
At the present time. 1t is stated, there
are some 200 or 300 pistols and weapons
of all kinds in the hands of the police
department which have been taken from
