THREE IN RACE
FOR COLLECTOR
Rhodes is Said Today to Have
Good Chance of Winning
This Berth

There seems to be much specula-
ton at the present time as to who
will receive the appointment Of col
lector of revenue.
Up until the present time all in
dications have seemed to point to
the appointment of James j. Mullen,
who was last year q candidate for
this position, as the most logical
candidate for the office. Today, how
ever, the political weather vane
seems to be swinging away from
Mullen and shifting closer toward
James Rhodes, who has several
times been mentioned for the office.
1t is an established fact that three
we'll known Democrats are DESTROYS
of being placed in this high office.
They are James j. Mullen, James
Rhodes and John K. Sheehy. The
question is: Which of the three men
will be able to muster the required
number of votes when the showdown
comes? The state of the council al
the present time and as it appears
it will be after reorganization is
somewhat as a ship without a rud-
der, or a tug-of-war, half pulling
one way and half another.
From past performances of this
most august body there in a tend-
ency for some to line up with Alder
man John j. Clark, while others will
cling to the so-called party lines.
According to present indications
Clark seems to be running a sort of
council of his own, and at the last
meeting was assisted in his endeavor
by Aldermen Mcclure, Sofleld and
Riedy. 1t is almost a safe bet that
Clark, Mcclure and Sofield will cling
together during the next year and
IL this becomes a fact. the deciding
vote will rest in the hands of the
| sixth ward alderman, John Kozusko,
If Clark and Mcclure can get
Kozusko to join with them, with the
additional aid of Sofield, they hid
the balance of power and can do as
they see fit. There is considerable
doubt, however, as to whether OF
not Kozusko will line up with the
Clark faction. From indications al
this time, Kozusko will remain mum
on the matter until his first vote is
CT st. 1t is likely that many politi-
cal hearts will be q hutter as Ko-
zusko is called on the first time to
vote. and between the time his name
Is called and the answer is received
viii seem almost like eternity ia
manv politicians and those who ara
DESTROYS of positions.
One thing is a fact, however and
| that is that Alderman Mcclure will
vote for the appointment of Rhodes
TO the bitter end and the same-thinE
may be said of Aldermen PatteI
and Mullen. 1t also seems there may
be a possibility OF a dark hors'

''YY" DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING
Receive Annual Statement
Change Fiscal Year Date
and Bookkeeping System

The Board of Directors of the Y.
NJ. c. A. voted at its meeting last
night to have the fiscal year of the
association end on May l instead of
December 1, thus having it's fiscal
year start and end on the same days
as the national Y. M. G. A. associa-
ton fiscal year. In order to provide
funds for the next four months ap-
preparations were decided upon
which will cover the operating ex-
penses of the institution until May 1
at which time the annual budget will
be adopted.
Owing to the demands made upon
the local association from outside
agencies such as financial assistance
for state, national and foreign asso-
citation work, the Silver Bay training
school, ETC., it was decided to have
q. special committee named whose
duty it will be to solicit funds for
these purposes from persons
particularly interested In thai
branch of association work. 1t was
the general opinion that moneys
should not be taken from the bud
get, which is designed for local pur-
poses only, and spent OF these out
side activities.
The financial statement of General
Secretary V. v. Roseboro showed the
associations equity on December l.
including building, lot, equipment,
ETC., to total S~303,004.75. AS there
are no liabilities this amount also
represents the associations assets.
1t was voted to change the pres
ent bookkeeping system so that II
will conform with that in use in the
associations of other cities. Under
the new system it will be possib,,
to keep a more accurate cou OF

agement of each department and
