(■■■■■■J Following the usual ,
custom, Daniel will likely handle all
the firms outside the city and will
probably announce in the near future
the assistant appraiser to look after
the city stores. Daniel's appointment
has been officially announced by the
county commissioners.
Daniel had opposition as a candi
date in E. M. Winters, a local notary
public and a former Democratic can- !
didate for prothonotary and mayor.
Sheriff H. C. Wells, the minority mem
tier of the county board nominated
Winters.
Seitz Successor. While City Coun-j
cil will probably not elect a successor
to Daniel S. Seitz as city solicitor for
a few weeks, it is generally expected j
that ex-State Senator John E. Fox
•will bo the choice. The Senator's
lirst official duty for the city perhaps;
will be the preparation of the city's
case urging the issue of a certificate
for the construction of the proposed
new Walnut street bridge across the 1
Pennsy tracks by the Public Service
Commission.

COST OF PAPER TOO GREAT
Two Lehigh County Weeklies Forced
to Suspend Publication
Allentown, fa., Jan. 4. —In the Pro
thonotary's office yesterday an execu-1
tion for $1,865 was issued by A. P.!
Berlin, of Slatington, against the Her-j
aid Publishing Company, which has;
been publishing the Slatington Her
ald. The newspaper's troubles are
due to the increased cost of white
paper.
This is the second weekly in Lehigh
! county to suspend publication within
a week. The other was the Lehigh
Register, whose owners decided to stop
it, owing to the high cost of print
paper.

READING. Based on the re
ceipts of the local revenue office from
the sale of beer stamps, it is estimated
that 140,423,280 glasses of beer were
produced in this district in 1916, an
increase over 1915 of 126,735,800
glasses. Some of this beer was sent
out of the county, but on the other
hand, considerable was sent here from
other places. The production of 1916, |
i if all consumed in this county, would)
I mean about 700 glasses for each of i
I the population. In the year just pass- j
!ed the district produced 146,674,730]
cigars, an increase over 1915 of more
than 16,000,000.

now trying to trace his recent move
ments.

| from the naval collier Ajax which is i
