Walter VanSciver
To Run For Mayor

Ever since the legal time limit ex-
pired for the filing of petitions by
candidates for respection offices for
the Primaries election of September,
23rd, and the failure of the Demo-
cratic party to do for the office of
Mayor, considerable number of
the younger element of that party
have chafed over such and rumors
have been rife for some time past
they were going to have a can
didate,,. Recently reports that
were made known that they had
settled on Walter H. Van Solver, of
Church. street. When asked as to
his candidacy, he seemed willing to
be the standard bearer, smiled and
remarked "if they want to vote for
me / do not know how to stop
them.

Florence Winners
| Of Second Half

Florence earned the right to meet
Mount Holly for the championship
OF Burlington county by defeating
Bordentown in the first half playoff
at Roebling Saturday, score 2 to 0.
The contest was one of the most
sensational ever played in the coun-
ty, Astounding in thrills and spec
tacular plays.
Everham and Neisenhoff engaged
in brilliant hurlers' duel, with the
Florence ace having a slight edge.
Two puny hits were all the smuggling
Bordentown crew could garner off
his delivery, while Neisenhoff was
touched for three.
Florence started the scoring in
the very first inning. Frappoli
worked Neisenhoff for free ticket
to start the initial frame and adj
vanced to second on Algie's sac
rifice. Gilbert came through with q
belt to left and Frappoli crossed.
The other tally came in the fourth
and was unearned. Kite smacked a
grounder to Frankenfeld, who threw
wild to first and the runner pulled
up to second. Gilbert laid down q
bunt and Kite took third, from
where he scored on Neisenhoff's
wild pitch. The run was decidedly
cheap, but the first was earned.
The Florence triumph came as a
big surprise to diamond followers
throughout the county. Prior to
Saturdays tilt. Bordentown had de-
feated Florence every time the two
teams had met and consequently was
the favorite.
The victory gives Sweeney's ag-
gregation the right to meet Mount
Holly for the championship of Bur-
lington county.

PITY Saved Them

( Doubtless some mistakes have been
made by Council, it would be most
unreasonable to expect otherwise but
that their administration could not
have been so very extravagant or
incompetent is amply proven by the
fact that Beverly stands next to
lowest in per capita cost Of gov
eminent of all the cities Ia
the State. In the two years
from December 3lst, 1921, to
December, 81, 1928 Council has re-
duced the City's Indebtedness, ex-
elusive of bonded debt, from $35048.
81 to $17727 AZ, this amount being
entirely covered by uncollected taxes
Since 1922 the tax rate has been
reduced each year until now we
have one of the lowest tax rates in
the County.
Mr.. Lee was formerly Mayor of
Beverly. He held office during the
Commission Government. In the
fall election of 1920 Mr.. Lee and the
Commission were ousted by a vote
of 637 to 1873, Beverly thereby voting
to return to the councilmanic form
of government.
The deplorable condition in which
the Beverly City finances were left
by the retiring Commissioners in
May, 1921 and the reasons for the
deceptive low tax rate for that year
are now pretty generally known to
our citizens. The facts are a matter
of record and are indisputable.
Was the failure of Mr.. Lee and the
other Commissioners to provide
sufficient funds merely due to mis-
judgement and stupidity or was it,
as seems much more probable a de-
liberate piece of political trickery
intended to deceive the public and
bring discredit upon the new Cousa-
cil?. In either case does this recon-
mend these commissioners to the
confidence of the public? Mr.. Lee,
the leader of these former Com
missioners is now asking the voters
to elect him to the office of Mayor.
Does his previous record in office
warrant the support of the voters at
the coming election? Mr.. Lee asks
to be elected on his promise of lower
taxes. We are all in favor of low
taxes but such promise as this Is
an insult to the intelligence Of the
public. Everyone knows, or should
know that the Mayor has no control
over taxes or assessments.
The CITIZENS COMMITTEE is
most emphatically opposed to the
nomination of Mr.. Lee. 1t Is our
belief that by his previous records
he has proven himself unworthy of
the office and his subsequent writ
ings have shown that he has little
regard for the truth.
In order that our citizens may re-
fresh their memories we append in
full report of the Finance COMMITTEES
and Sewer Committee when the new
Council took charge in 1921. Let
the people study these reports and
Judge for themselves whether or not
their City's affairs should again be
entrusted to Mr. Thomas Lee.

The coming Primary Election will
30 an important event in local
politics. 1t therefore behooves every
citizen to investigate the conditions
carefully before casting his vote.
On next Tuesday the Nominee
for Mayor of Beverly will be
chosen.
Many of our citizens have read the
letter by Mr.. Thomas Lee which was
published in the Banner" of Sept
ember, 9Th. In this article Mr.. Lee
roundly denounces the Beverly City
Mayor and Council, vaguely accus-
ing them of almost every con-
ceivable variety of mismanagement
and wrong doing. The words
"gross ignorance" and gross in
competence" run riot over the page.
He intimates that the Council has
misappropriated funds, overpaid city
squandered large sums of
the public money and ends up by
the following assertion: council
was very fortunate not to be indi-
cted by the Grand Jury for the
many Illegal acts they committed
through their gross ignorance in
the Citys business. Pity
presumably Mr.. Lee's) saved them.
This is an amazing statement and
would be serious were it better
sponsored.
According to this we are to be-
lieve that were it not for the lem
iency and fatherly mercy of Mr..
Lee the following citizens of Bev-
erly would now be i'm the clutches of
the law: Professor James B. Dilks,
Mr.. Edward Herring, Mr.. Stanley w.
Allen, Mr. Theodore Bonfield, Mr..
S. Bott Jr, Mr.. Harvey D.
Detwiler, Miss Cornelia B. Ford, Mr..
Frederick Lauinger, Mr.. Warren S.
Painter, Mr.. Charles j. Parsons Mr..
Dillwyn S. Stevenson, Mr.. Harry
TroxelI, Mr.. Howard Woertz, and
Mrs. Jean S. S. Wood. 1t is for
tunate indeed that their fate was in
the hands of one SO merciful. These
men and women represent some of
our Oldest and best known families
and their Punishment behind prison
bars would have been distinct less
to the community. No doubt Mr..
Lee has fellow feeling for any city
official in danger of Grand
Jury indictment pity" may
at one time have saved him. Who
Mr.. Lee makes frequent
sarcastic references to the emergen-
cy notes for $7319 which Council
was compelled to issue. He does not
say however, that these notes were
necessary to make up the deficit
which he left when he retired from
office. This emergency applied only
to the year 1921. All the rest OF
Mr.. Lees rawlings about "emergen-
cies" are intended to deceive, as Mr.
Lee well knows.
1t is not our intention to reply
word for word to Mr.. Lees sour
rilous epistle. We feel confident
that the answer will appear on the
tally sheet of the election board. 1t
is sufficient to say that every ac-
cusation is either a malicious and in
territorial distortion of facts and
figures or mere play upon UNI
technicaaities.

With the recent death of Squire"
Frank Jones late resident of South
Beverly, as it were, there passed in
to memory one who was well known
to many of our towns people, and
especially to those of yesteryear
when yachting contests were indulg-
ed in and seamanship shown. Born
at Tuckerton, N. j., where boys
learn the art of sailing, think deep
ly of the lure of the water and the
AROMA" of the salt mash, with
whom sneak box and garvey
furnish plenty of pleasure; those
EXPERIENCES stood him in good stead
when his family moved to our city
some years ago and he became a
sailing master of excellent ability,
which was attested on more than one
occasion by the mute prizes that
were won while command. He was
also Justice of the Peace for
several terms.
