c. D. VAN NAME
To RUN AGAIN
Borough President Turns
Down Magistrate Job and
Will be Candidate Again.

(By Evening News stan Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, March 31-Bor-
ough President Calvin ID. Van Name
has turned down the offer of Mayor
Hylan for the position of city magis-
trate in the second district court for
the borough of Richmond. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by
Borough President Van Name after
he had been rendered the position
on the bench by the mayor to sue
ceed the late William S. Mullen, who
died several weeks ago. Mr.. Van
Name in announcing the decision
says that he will again be a candl-
date for the borough presidency at
this coming fall election. There had
been some speculation with regard
to the appointment of a new magis-
trate for some time and Borough
President Van Names name had
been prominently mentioned and
many believed that he would accept
until the announcement yesterday
that he would not accept the post.
The appointment TO the city
magistrates bench would be for the
unexpired term of the late William
s. Mullen, which has still six years
to go. The salary of the city magiS-
trate is $500 per annum, while
that of borough president for the
borough of Richmond is $4,000 per
annu for four years. 1t has been
generally talked of in political cir
cles on Staten Island that Matthew
Cahill., the Democratic leader of the
borough of Richmond, would be the
candidate for the Office of borough
president at the next election, but
since Mr.. Van Name has announced
his candidacy the wiseacres of the
borough are all up in the air, 1t is
said, and that the entire slate is
bursted. Aiming s. Prall. the presi-
dent of the Board of Education of
the City of New York, was also
mentioned to take the place of Mr..
Van Name to fill out his unexpired
term if he had resigned to take the
position on the magistrates bench.
Borough President Van Name is
now serving his second term at the
head of the borough government and
it is without doubt that he will
again be elected should he run this
fall. Mr.. Van Name has an excel
lent record and has succeeded in
getting many Improvements from
the Board of Estimate for Staten
Island. The Amboy road improve
ment and the new concrete pave
ment being laid in Arthur Kill road
from Tottenville to Richmond, to-
gether with other improvements of
roads in various parts of the bor-
ough, stand out as a monument to
his good work since in Office.

TWO FALSE ALARMS SENT
IN FOR METUCHEN DEPT.

METUCHEN, March 31.-The
members of the hook and ladder
company and the hose company were
called out twice yesterday to ans
wer false alarms. The police are
working on the matter and when
the offender is located he will be
asked to explain his conduct to the
recorder, since the alarms were en-
tirely unnecessary. The department
was called out twice to extinguish
grass fires started by sparks from
passing locomotives. 1t has been
noticed that the residents do not
use due care in burning grass and
rubbish. The cost of maintaining
the local fire department is borne
by the members of the company. no
financial assistance being received
from the borough. and since the de-
partment is put to considerable un-
necessary expense when care is not
used in burning rubbish and grass
the residents are requested to be
more careful in the future.
