FILINGS START
FOR CITY POSTS

Candidates in the approaching
municipal election TODAY can begin
the trek postward for the mayor
atty and council derbies.
With the opening of business in
the city clerks office at the County
City Building, the candidates filing
period will be officially under way
Although a number of more eau
tious souls are expected to hold
back-and delay their filing until
they look over the fields some
first day activity is a certainty.
At least one mayoralty starter
and possibly two, are expected tc
take the plunge before dark this
evening. Certain hopefuls also are
expected to break the ice in the
council race.
Mayor William F. Devin, ar
avowed candidate for reelection tc
a position he has won three times
previously, probably will walt sew
eral days before tossing his hat
into the ring.
PAY BOOSTED
Now that the stipend is higher
(under the new charter the mayor
gets $4,000 and a council member
$4,000 annually, the filinfg bite
for the candidates Is higher, too.
The filing fee is per cent of the
annual salary of the position sought
by a candidate. Thus 1t will cost
500 to get into the mayors con-
test and $48 to make a bid for the
council.
To be elected this time are a
mayor, six councilmen and the
city's corporation counsel. 1t is ru-
mored that A. C. Van Soelen, who
holds the latter post, may have no
opposition.
Mayor Devin and the council in
cumbents who must stand for re-
election-Robert H. Harlin. Frank
J. Laube, Dave Levine, Mike Mitch
ell, Mrs. F. F. Powell and AL Roch-
ester-will have plenty of opposi-
ton. according to precampaign gos-
sip.
Two mayoralty and IL council
candidates will qualify in the Feb
ruary "a primary and then fight it
out in the March 9 final. Measures
on the ballot will not be voted on
until the final.
The filing period will close Janu-
airy 10. After that, a candidate has
five days to decide whether he
wants to go all the way or with
draw. If withdrawal isn't declared
by January Is, the candidates name
will be on the ballot.
