PROMPT WORK TO SAVE $6,000 FOR VOTERS [Continued From First Pago] | fill the office of councilman for about j nine months. Nothing Political In Bill "There is nothing political in the | bill so far us I know," said Senator Ueidleman to-day. "Solicitor Fox ! gave It to me as covering amend | ments advocated by the law committee of the Third Class City League and I introduced it, knowing that the com mittee had given the matter full I thought. j "1 agree with the committee that the county ought not to be required I to spend the $6,000 for a special clec ! tion. Remember, I represent the ' county districts as well as the city : and It is the county—not the city i alone—which must spend this money. Does It seem fair to ask the farmers (and the property owners of the small towns to pay for the election of a | councilman for Harrisburg? How I would the people of Harrisburg like to be asked to pay $6,000 for a town i ship supervisor for the country dis j tricts? I think the people of both city ! and county will agree with me that $>5,000 is an item well worth saving i and that a bill that has the approval of such worthy men as make up the ;law committee of the Third-Class City ! League which will have this money is | well worth passing. Taylor >'o Candidate "It is nonsense to say that I am back of this bill because I want to i make Harvey Taylor councilman. I j have no such thought. I have noti even heard that Mr. Taylor is a candi- | date, and I believe I would have heard j it if he had aspirations for the place. There is no politics In my stand.

Provisions of Bill I The bill prepared at the direction of the law committee of the Third-1 i Class City League provides that If, fori j any reason whatsoever, a vacancy oc- i curs "or exists at the time this amend ment goes into effect," a majority of the members of council may fill the' vacancy within 30 days after it occurs, the man chosen to serve until his suc cessor is elected at the next regular municipal election. If there is a tie vote the court of j comon pleas is to fill the vacancy | upon petition of ten or more quali ; fled electors. If a majority of the 1 offices are vacated the remaining i members shall fill the vacancies one at a time, so that a newly chosen | | man may participate in the elec-' tion of the subsequent members.
