Stock Leaders Drop
81 10 S14a Share,
Many al New Lows
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Sept. 3-Stocks fell
out OF the window In today's post
holiday market on one of the sharp
est stumbles of the past several
years with numerous leaders drop
ping to IA points to lows since last
fall or longer.
Prices, slightly downward at the
start, really began to retreat before
midday when the ticker tape, for an
interval, was behind actual floor
transactions.
Volume then tapered but fresh
wave of liquidation hit the list in
the fourth hour when quotations
generally reached bottom and the
recording machinery again Jagged
for almost 40 minutes.
Extreme losses were reduced in
many cases at the close. Transfers
of around 100000 were among the
largest of 1916 to date.
Brokers found little in the spot
news to blame for the relapse and
most attributed 1t to a variety of
circumstances including the idea of
professionals and public commits
sion house customers that the mar
ket, in its slide of the past three
months, may have been discounting
a business peak later in the year or
In 1947. Technical forces turned
bearish when the industrial average
broke through the spring low level.

MT. LAKE MAYOR
TERMS BEACOM'S
REMARKS AS SO
MUCH ''PRATTLE"
Makes Direct Replies to Asser.
tions Made Last Week Con-
corning Way Government
Is Run

Calling the assertions Of J. Pat
Beacon concerning the way the
government at Mt Lake Park is car
ried on as so much "prattle,' Jamie
s. Elliott, mayor of the Park, and
Delbert Bittinger, clerk, made direct
replies to his statements in this
weeks issue.
Since the article repeats the ques-
ton asked last week and quotes the
statements made by Mr.. Beacon, be-
fore replying in full there is no need
to go into further detail, other than
publishing the reply this week in full,
which follows;
The August IS, 1916 issue of The
Republican, published in Oakland,
PEOPLE AT PARK WANT VOICE
RULE. The article states that about
twenty-five summer residents of the
Park met on Tuesday evening to form
a Taxpayers and Property Owners
association. Mr.. J. Patrick Beacon
was named chairman of the group.
The article states that Mr. Beacon
said it was pointed out at the meet
ing that several years ago the charter
was changed, taking away the rights
of the summer residents to serve ON
the town council or other elective of
fees, and at the time were threatened
with prohibition from voting.
The Town Charter has never been
changed or amended regarding this
subject and it is still possible for any
property owner, who has property
that is assessed for 100000 or more
not only to vote, but file for nomi-
nation as town officer Very few
towns or cities in the United States
allow property owners, who are not
legal residents, to even vote in
municipal elections, let alone run for
office. Mr.. Beacon and his wife
jointly own property assessed at 5000,
which would prevent him from being
allowed to run for a town office. Mr.
Beacon said; cover half of the prop
crty owners and taxpayers there are
summer residents" Where does Mr.
Beacon get his information for this
