Helen Boyce Allan and her husanbd
Hamish Allan, to the divorce court.
Everything was lovely, Mrs. Allan

Up Despite Sales

General Motors was called upon
to absorb more selling, but as in
the case Of Baldwin. the supporting
elements did some trading on their
own accounts and the issue ran up
sharply. Ever since General Mo-
tors declared it's last major divi-
dend, including the $4 extra, the
stock has been liquidated.
For time the standard alibi in
the market for this selling was a
story that the Durant crowd was
getting out of Motors and into Bald
win. However, General Motors,
Baldwin and Steel all enjoy the
same banking sponsorship, and it is
seldom that sustained selling is long
lived against any of the issues men,
toned, except in the case of a gen.
eral decline in the entire market.

fact, he should ask for the opinion
from the city solicitor of his city
touching this question, as it really
pertains to the city rather than to the
county. The county usually acknowl-
edged such officers as the municipali-
ties shall elect, and in view of the fact
that they have heretofore been deem
ed to be elected for the term of two
years. would not like to take the re-
sponsibility of changing that term I'M
less the solicitors of the various NUM-
cipalties should coincide with my
views. | would, therefore, suggest
that you, as the clerk of your city, ask
your city solicitor for his opinion
touching the matter herein referred to-.
| might add that in my opinion the
term of office of Chosen Freeholders
from every municipality in this state
is now fixed by the law governing the
municipality from which the freehold
er is elected and in some municipali-
ties they are elected for the period of
one year, in some for period of two
years, and in some for period of
three years, and it may be doubtful as
to whether in some municipalities any
term at all is fixed. In view of this
fact, | have drawn an Act to be pre-
scented at this Legislature making the
term of office of Chosen Freeholders
in counties of second class to be here
after elected for the term of three
years, and I think it should receive the
hearty support of every citizen, the
purpose being to make the term of
office uniform.
would thank you to ask your city
solicitor for an opinion, and would be
glad to hear what he may say in rela-
ton to this matter.
Very truly yours,
