PETIT TO QUIT
ELECTION BOARD
Announced Last Week That Res
ignation Would Take Place
Because of Court Duties.
NEW SECRETARY NECESSARY.

With the announcement last week
that Judge Clarence Petit intended 10
resign as a member Of the Atlantic
County Board of Elections, of which
he is also the Secretary, comes anoth-
er possible mix-up in Democratic po-
Iitical circles, for it was also announce
ed that George w. Leech, OF this city,
was being groomed for a place on the
county board. Pettit's place will prob
ably be filled by the selection of a
resident of Atlantic City. Then there
will be a difficult matter in filling the
post of Secretary.
Prior to Pettit's selection as a men,
Der of the Board, Harry Lovett, of
this city, was Secretary of the Board.
Lovett's time is out this year and the
booming of Leech will be to take his
place. However, Charles ]. Collins,
State Committeeman, and Charles
Lafferty, Chairman of the County Ex-
ecutive Committee, are understood to
be committed to the appointment of
Henry Tapken, of Galloway Township,
to take Lovett's place on the Board.
E. Leroy Adams, at present the
President of the Board, also goes out
this year, but he will probably be re
appointed for a two-year term. Some
of the politicians want William Hau
enstein to again take the place as
President of the Board, but Hauen
stein says he does not want the place
ITf 4s1ams IS 4xa7h nlade President
when the Reorganization takes place
then a Democrat will be made Secre
tary. The Democrats want an Allan
tic City man to fill this place, while
members of the Board want a County
man there. The outcome of this new
fight will be watched with considera
BILE interest during the next few
weeks.

SURVEY READY
FOR BRIDGES
Brigantine Road Project to be
Reported to Freeholders at
Meeting To-Day.
COST NOT YET DETERMINED

The question OF the building Of a
road from Atlantic City 10 Brigantine
Beach is one that interests every sec
ton of Atlantic County at this time,
because Of the amount Of money in
volYed in the construction of such a
road and the necessary bridges. The
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton Of the Board of F~reeholders and
a survey was ordered. 1t is expected
that the survey, which has been COM
pleted, will be reported 10 the Free
holders at their meeting today.
The survey has been practically
completed, Mr.. Nelson stated last Fri
day, and the tentative location of the
two bridges which the county has
been asked TO build in the retaining
of Brigantine by a syndicate has been
determined. Mr.. Nelson declared that
he would be unable to give even an
approximate estimate of the cost OF
the two structures at this time. The
promoters havedeelared that the max
imum cost for the bridges would not
be more than 100000
AS each of the two bridges viii be
over navigable streams, the permits
sion Of the War Department will have
to be secured before any further steps
can be taken. While promoters of
the plan have stated they have seeur-
ed official permission, nevertheless
nothing. can be done until this IS made
official after hearings.
Because of the fact that the county
has not the power to buy o condemn
land for a new road, Mr.. Nelson inti-
mated that the project might strike
this snag. The proposed route for the
greater part is within the limits Of
Atlantic City, and the county has not
the power to build roads within a
municipality of over 10000 inhabi-
tants. The other section is within
Galloway Township, and is already
said to be owned by the developing
company.
It was proposed by officers of the
Island Development Company, com
posed of real estate men, last month
that the county award the contract
for the road as well as the bridges
and that the cost of the former would
be borne by them. However. the law
against the county building a road
within the limits of a municipality
would preclude this arTangemenI-
FOR the company to build the foad*H
would be necessary for them TO buy
or have given to them the right=of-
way across the meadows.
H. G. Harris, president of the De
velopment Company, declared they
were preparing to push the project
through and that they would attend
the meeting on Wednesday and re-
cues that the Board order that plans
and specifications Of the bridges be
prepared. This would be the next
step and would be followed by the
award of the contract.

ETNA STILL POURS
OUT LAVA FLOW
New Stream Threatens Village
of Lavinaro.
By Utited Press


CATANIA. June 21.-One hundred
hours after the first great blasts from
Etnas cone started a panicky exodus
Of tens Of thousands OF Sicilians from
their homes, molten streams Of lava
from the volcano still advanced on
helpless towns and deserted hamlets
today.
One Of the main streams OF steam
ing, withering lava moving with de
creasing speed around Mt. Etna s
foothills suddenly shot out a fiery
branch which now is advancing upon
the hamlet OF Lavinaro. Destruction
Of the little township seems immi-
nent.
Relief work continues with the pres
ence Of King Victor Emmanuel. a
powerful bracer for the thousands OF
peasants whose homes lie beneath the
lava lakes.
