CANDIDATES

Interesting Campaign Is

CANDIDATES WORKING
Progressive and Republican Can
didates Are Announced-Demo-
crat Not Named Yet.


The peoples attention is now di-
rected to fall politics inasmuch as as
pirants for Office are announcing their
candidates., particularly is this so Of
the Assembly campaign.
Cumberland County is now entitled
to one members of the General AS
sembly, and in the last legislature
Raymond Sheppard, of Commercial,
as the Cumberland member.
Mr.. Sheppard made very success
full campaign last fall and was elected
by substantial majority. He claims
that he faithfully represented this
county and was always present at
each session of the legislature. He is
candidate for second term and will
make an active canvass,
Arthur S. Craig, the Bridgeton law:
yer, has Assembly aspirations and is
circulating a petition among his
friends to have his name placed upon
the Republican primary ticket. Mr..
Craig has had legislative experience
having been an appointee of former
Senator I. T. Nichols several years
ago. ~. .@s~ SAG,M
Charles Shipley, Of Millville, an
nounce6 last week that he would be a
candidate for Assembly honors this
fall, and stated to the Pioneer that his
formal announcement would be made
this week. Mr.. Shipley is very much
in earnest in the matter and has al
ready had interviews with many Re-
publieans throughout the county.
Some time since Mr.. Shipley felt
that he had devised plan by which
he could amalgamate the Republican
and Progressive parties in an anti
Democratic campaign. Last week he
stated that amalgamation was impos-
sib1e as the Progressive party leaders
insisted that Che Republicans would
be obliged to accept in toto the entire
Progressive platform
Mr.. shipley now feels that in a
three sided campaign he can, most sue
cessfully compete as an Assembly can
didate and he intends to make the
nominations if it is possible. To aid
him in his campaign, Mr.. Shipley Is
printing a campaign paper which he
calls the "Bulletin" and makes free
circulation throughout the county

COUNCIL TALKS
OVER FINANCES
A Lengthy Session Held
Without Action.
ALL MATTERS REVIEWED
Plenty of Money, But Council Has
Not Made 1t Available for
Specific Purposes.

City Council met last evening in a
conference that was of more or less
importance, and the entire evening
was spent in an exhaustive discus
sion of the best way and means fer
the conduct of the city affairs, to con-
forI with the provisions of the city
charter and of more recent legislation.
When the ordinance providing for
the appropriations for the coming
year is introduced in Council, within
the next few weeks, it is certain that
there will be provided sufficient funds
for the operation of the several de-
partments, for the entire fiscal year,
and Council will not have recourse to
the method of borrowing from one
account to pay the deficiencies of
another. ~
1t is also certain, that with their
estimates on file, that the members
of Council will not permit the ex-
travagance of department heads the
first six months of year, and then per-
nit them to come back and ask for
additional funds to carry out their
work the balance of the time.
Council will proceed with all neces-
sary work for the balance of the year,
SO far as their funds allow, and for
the next fiscal year, will start on d
new plan of not exceeding appropri-
ations and will hold all department
heads to rigid accounting.
President Johnson addressed the
members briefly and stated that the
City was absolutely solvent, and had
funds to pay every appropriation bal
ahce standing; in fact some accounts
woaid be turned back into the general
fund at the close of the year, while
other accounts would have to be hand,
led most carefully, as no transfers o.
money from one appropriation to an
other was permitted under the law.
He afterward called on the CHI air
men of all committees for a staten len
of the actual condition of their; de
partments, and a general idea wa
gained of how much work can be &C
complished this year, and w
amounts were likely to be sper'
ing the coming year.

street improvements, a point which he
called particular attention to, was the
constant increase in the growth of the
city, the continual building on the
outskirts, and the demand which was
made for these improvements, would
naturally force an increase in all of
these departments.
j. M. Laning, Chairman of the Fire
Department, stated that the annual
appropriation of $6,5o0.OO for the Fire
Department was utterly insufficient,
If the city is to have the benefit of fire
protection, safety for the business,
manufacturing and home properties,
and an insurance rate which fairly
represented a well protected city. He
cited the accident to the La France
engine at the recent test; and the
utterly inadequate fire protection of
the city. The department should
spend $10,00O.00 at once in placing it
upon a basis that was fitting for the
size of the City of Bridgeton.
Mr.. Fox said that the Light Com
Elittee found it difficult to meet all Of
the demands for street lighting SER
vice. with the present annual appro-
priation of trife over $4,000 90,
and that the committee was continu-
ally pressed with demands for fur
tner extension of service. That they
personally investigated every case,
and made the money go as far as pos
sible.
At the invitation of President john
son. Mayor Arthur G. Whitaker ad-
dressed Council on the subject of city
finances, and briefly covered the stu
ation so far as the spending of money
was concerned, and stated that while
he had the utmost confidence in the

THE COLORADO STRIKE
AFFECTS COKE OUTPUT.

The output Of coke lii Colorado in
1918 was 879,461 tons, valued at ST.
S15,134, according to E. w. Parker, Of
the United States Geological Survey.
The decrease as compared with 1912,
! amounting to 93,4SO tons in quantity
and $228,S60 In value, was due en-
tirely to the labor troubles among the
miners, and not to adverse trade con-
ditions. The principal disturbances
were in Las Animas County, the lead
inf coal-producing and coke-making
county, and resulted in decrease in
coal production of nearly million
tons and in the whole of the decrease
in the output Of coke.
There are is coke making estab-
lishments in Colorado, which operats
1858 ovens, all of the beehive type
Six of the establishments, operating
726 ovens, were idle Throughout the
year. In addition to these Idle plants,
$50 ovens were idle at plants that
made some coke in 1918, so that the
total number Of idle ovens was 1,706,
representing nearly half the coking
capacity of the State Mo- new ovens
were under construction at the end of
the year.
According to returns made to thg
Geological Survey, the average value
of Colorado coke advanced from 1913.
ton In 1912 to 1920 IN 1913. In
1911 the average was $3.50. These
fluctuations are, howey 'er, more ap-
parent than real A lalrgs proportion
of the coke produced i'm Colorado is:

and base metals. For suct
