interests. The sale was made last
week by William May. receiver, TO

S270,O00 for properties not long
ago given an appraised valuation
Of $750,000. Mr.. Bradt was said
to already have an option on the
six California canneries of the
Hunt Bros. company, and 1t was
strongly intimated that his oper-
ations are in the interest of the
California Packers association.

that 1t indicates a final settlement
of the receivership, which gives
them no consideration whatever.
Unofficial statements have indi-
Gated that these creditors are not
likely to receive more than 10 per
cent on their claims. They have
been told that certain valuable
assets, covered by warehouse re-
ceipts, already are in possession of
a few creditors who were said to
have taken advantage of inside
information to gain this measure
of self-protection.
The unsecured creditors have
no present intention of seeking to
estop the sale of the plant prop
critics to Mr.. Bradt, but they de-
clared their purpose to start an
action in court that will lead to a
full airing of the company s affairs
and complete disclosure of the
disposition and present location
of all assets.

1907 Statute Would Give Van

| New Administr ation's Jobs
POLITICIANS IN QUANDARY

Camden Is In a quandary. especially
IL leading officials and politicians who
ere interested in the doling out of jobs.
Affecting appointment of many city
omceholdcrs Is the cause Of the tenn.
porary confusion. Should the city de.
termine to abide by this law it would
mean that Frank Van Hart. the re-
firing Republican Mayor. could indi-
rectly control appointments under the
incoming Democratic administration.
At the present time all fire and city
department employees. except police, are
appointed by Council. The police arc
appointed by the Mayor subject to con.
drmation by Council.
Authorizes Board Appointments
The suddenly discovered 1907 law
authorizes the appointments of two
boards--Board of Public Works and
Police and Fire Board. These bourds
of four members each--two Democrats
and two Republicnns--are to be ap-
pointed by the Mayor. incidentally.
whenever there is Il deadlock regarding
proposed appointments the Mayor casts
the deciding vote.
Investigation shows that when this
law was passed by the Assembly in 1907
1t referred only to the city of Paterson.
In 1910 it was amended to apply to
all cities of more than 10000 popula-
ton. Camden passed that mark two
years ago and Is now in the 116,OOO
classification.
Former Mayor Ellis, who resigned
