MENTION FRASER AS
CITY COMPTROLLER
John F. Reilly, Sr., Also Men
toned for Voorhees, Job
Says That He Must Resign.
POSITION PAYS 5000 YEAR
Several Other Younger Men
After Job-VoorheeS is Now
at Asbury Park.

William D. Voorhees,, having
definitely resolved to resign from the
position of comptroller of the city,
officials have set about in earnest to
choose a desirable successor. Edwin
G. Fraser, a prominent real estate
dealer, is reported to be most promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the position. The only other man
whose name is mentioned by Demo-
cratic leaders is John F. Reilly, for
mer city clerk here. There are few
young men after the position, but
their applications are not considered
seriously, 1t being held that they do
not measure up to the position. The
job is held to be an important one,
and only men with good knowledge
Of figures and finances can be consid-
cred for election, prominent Demo-
Gratis declare.
Says He Must Resign.
When it became known outside Of
aldermanic circles that Mr.. Voorhees,
had rendered his resignation as
comptroller, 1t was stated that Sc
crecy had been maintained because
Of a movement to confer with the
comptroller in an effort to have hin.
withdraw his resignation. Mr.. Voor-
hees has been conferred with and
has stated that he must resign, the
strain of business and his health be-
ing such as to practically compel
such action. Mr.. Voorhees, is now
ON his second health trip within a
few months at Asbury Park.
The position of comptroller, until
recently held by James A. Rhodes,
pays 5000 a year, or SIS a month.
1t can be handled In conjunction
with ordinary daily duties, but en-
tails a large volume of work, it is
stated by those who know.
Mr.. Fraser, the man most promi-
nently mentioned for election as
comptroller, is president of the Fra
ser Realty Company and secretary
treasurer of the East Jersey Lum Der
and Timber Company.

WARN BICYCLE OWNERS
TO AVOID LOSS BY THEFT

The police today sounded a warn
ing for bicycle owners. All owners
that do not want their bikes"
stolen are tmportuned to take them
to place of safety, and not to leave
them standing at the curb for any
length of time. Probably a half
dozen bicycles have been reported
stolen during the past few months,
some of which the police have al
ready recovered. The police, how
ever, confess that they are helpless
to avoid this form of thievery when
the bikes" are left idle on the curb
for hours at time, and invite crooks
to ride away with them Some have
lost bicycles who could not afford to
buy another straightway and the loss
has proved a hardship. 1t is suggest
ed that small locks be placed on the
bikes when not In use. 1t Is
impossible for the patrolman to tell
whether a bicyclist is riding stolen
property or his own, in view of the
similarity between the bicycles.
