APPOINTMENTS
At WOODBRIDGE
2 Places on the Township
Committee to be Filled
Soon

WOODBRIDGE, June 15.-Spec-
ulation is rife as to what the new
makeup of the Woodbridge town
ship committee will be now that
E. w. Chris
tie, of Sewaren, and Committee
man William H. Gardner, of Free
man street, have resigned from the
board. Although nothing official
can be learned as yet, the resigna-
tions of the two men coming as such
shock to the other members of the
board that they were not prepared
to deal with the situation off-hand.
it is common talk that Committee
man Leon McElroy, of Woodbridge,
is favored by MANY as acting mayor
until the fall election.
Despite the fact that Committee
man McElroy is the only remaining
Democrat on the board it is gen.
orally understood that his strong op-
position to the commission govern
ment move and his ability to con-
duct the sessions of the committee
make him favored among the Re-
publicans comprising the remainder
of the board.
If McElrov is made acting COM
mitteeman-at-large a vacancy vii!
be left in his ward for a committee
man. Just who this man will be is
a question, and although many
names have been mentioned. none in
particular seemed to hold the upper
hand in being the favorite.
As a successor to Committeeman
Gardner in the third ward, Louis
Neuberg, of Sewaren, has been men,
toned as the most likely choice.
The next meeting of the town
ship committee will be held Monday
night. June 26. Whether Or not the
matter of appointments will be taken
up then is a question, but it is like
ly this will be done. Otherwise the
board will be functioning with two
members missing and no committee
man-at-large to conduct the meet
ings.
