NEWARK HEALTH
OFFICER MUST
Be COMPETENT
Civil Service Board Prepares
Severe Examination and Six
Candidates Undergo 1t.

Applicants for the position of health
one of the hardest examinations ever.
given by the Civil Service Cornmis-
sion, when they assembled Saturday
in the Central High School to com
pete for the $1,000 Office. The outlook
is that Newark will have health
officer measuring. up q standard that
is on the plane of any in the country,
Six candidates took the examina-
tion, among them DR.. Charles Y,
Craster, acting health officer since
July l, 1915, DR.. Craster would say
nothing about the examination eX'
cepting, and this he did not hesitate
to say, that it was very hard.
1T was very fair, very severe and
very searching" he told the Evening
Star The other candidates were DR.,
Frank b. Meeker, of 63 First street;
DR. Dundas r, Campbell. of $50 Ber-
gen street; DR.. Joseph J. Craven, of
Jersey City; DIR, James A. Browne,
health officer of Paterson, and Dir.
Thomas A. Clay, who was for time
health officer of Paterson,
If the test was so severe that an
eligible list Of three will not result,
DR.. Craster will have to compete in
a later examination with his chief
opponent for the position, Dr. William
c. Woodward health officer of Wash
ington, ID, G, The outcome of the test
will be announced in two or three
weeks, according to the Civil Service
Commissions custom.
If three of the applicants pass it.
DR.. Craster is likely to be chosen
permanently by the Board of Health
for the position, as there is no such
strong movement afoot in favor of
any of the New Jersey men who are
after the post as is evident in the
efforts of friends of DR. Woodward to
land the job for the Washington man
In case another examination is ne"es-
sary, and both DR. Craster and Dr..
Woodward pass, there is. talk of a
determined effort to play politics and
shift the office DR.. Woodward's way.

TRADE BOARD URGED ARMY
PREPAREDNESS EARLY IN 1914

That Newark was one Of the first
cities of the country to recognize the
need for an increase in the regular
army, and was a pioneer in the ma
tional preparedness propaganda. Is
evidenced by a resolution adopted by
the Board of Trade and embodied in
its report for 1914.
When asked the date of the adop-
ton of the resolution by the local
board, an examination of the report
by James NJ. Reilly, secretary Of the
board, revealed the fact that it was
February II, 1914, or nearly two years
ago and long before the present great
European war was regarded even as
a possibility by observers in this
country.
Following is the resolution.
Resolved, That IL is the sense of
this body that the Congress of the
United States he urged to reorganize

That the mobile army within the

shall be organized tactically so that
we will have not less than three COM

THAT the infantry and its auxiliary
arms shall be increased sufficiently

tion.
