HAUENSTE|N IS
RE-APPO|NTEO
Named to County Election Board
Last Week by Governor Ed
wards for Eleventh Time.
Petit Is Also Named

President William Hauenstein, of
the Atlantic County Board of Elec-
tions, was notified last week of his
selection to again become a member
of the board. The appointment is for
two years. This will make the elev-
enth time in succession that Hauen-
stein has been named for this posi-
ton. He has just completed twenty
years of service, during most of which
time he has been the president of the
board.
Lawyer Clarence Petit, of Atlantic
City, was also named as a member of
the board. He will take the place of
William Charlton, the retiring Demo
cratic member, who has served for the
past four years. The two hold-over
members of the board are Secretary
Harry Lovett and E. Leroy Adams,
both OF this city. The Democrats had
some little discussion over the nam
ing of their member of the board this
year. Some of them desired to see
Charlton returned for another term,
while others, among them the heads
of the County Executive Committee,
desired Petit to have the place. 1t
is considered that in naming Petit ii
was desired to get clear of at least
one of those who had been talked OF
as a possible successor to Common
Pleas Judge Robert H. Ingersoll, as
Pettit's name had been freely men.
toned when the factions could not
agree on William Smathers or James
Butler for the Judgeship. Elwood c
Weeks, of this city, is now looming
up as a possible candidate for the
Judgeship, and with the fight being
waged against Smathers, it is thought
possible that either he or S. Cameron
Hinkle, of Atlantic City, may get the
appointment.
President H~auenstein will soon cal
a meeting of the County Board OF
Elections for reorganization for the
coming year. 1t is expected that he
will again be the president and thai
Harry Lovett will retain the office OF
secretary for this year.

ties Commission regarding water COM

County Water Company, which has
the present contract to furnish water

city.
Bids are also to be received at this

1t is reported hat some action will
be taken at this meeting regarding
the condition of the surface of Bay
avenue 1t is claimed by property
owners on the street that the dust
arising from the gravel surface in the
summer time is a nuisance, and Coun-
Gil will be requested to take some &C
ton toward covering the gravel sur
face with some material that will lay
the dust during the hot, dry season of
the year. 1t is claimed that sprink-
ling with water is not sufficient to

knowledge and Temperance. Pa.
tience is to be represented by the
young lady dressed as an angel and
carrying a cross, and knowledge by
one carrying fruit.

dered and one will be a quartet com
posed of Miss Ruth Seiwell, Miss

LOCAL BASEBALL PLAYERS
SCORE GREAT SUCCESS

Several local baseball players have
secured great success this season.
Dump" Adams came to the front
again on Sunday when he pitched a
winning game for Melrose A. C.. of At
lantic City against the strong Shana-
han team of Philadelphia, holding the
Independent Championship of West
Philadelphia. Another local player
who took part in his initial game with
Melrose was Emery Helfrich. Walter
Peterson was also in this game, play
ing with Shanahan. Ike" Nelson,
who is a former Shanahan player, as
also is Helfrich, greatly assisted the
Roses to victory when he sent a line
drive to center field. Carmack came
along with a two-bagger to help things
out a little.
Helfrich's sensational fielding was
one of the big features of the game.
In the sixth he caught in his out
stretched glove Harry Fritz's terrific
line drive to left field, which would
have been good for three. bases.
Again in the seventh inning Helfrich
caught Heist's pop fly, bringing a rip
pie of applause from the immense
crowd.
