polls Tuesday to elect a mayor,
3 members of the city council,
2 members of the board of ed
ucation, a city clerk, a city
treasurer and a police magis
trate. But interest is slim and
the election at this point is
generally regarded as only a
formality.
Hugh E. Coyne, veteran
hardware merchant, a form
er mayor and a former coun
ci’man, was literally "draft
ed" for mayor at a business
men's caucus a fortnight ago.
The present mayor. F. J.
Dishner. earlier had declined
to seek reelection.
Petitions grew out of the
caucus (O'Neill's first in many
years) and the following filed
as petition candidates:
For mayor: Hugh E. Coyne.
For city council: First ward
.—James Corkle; Second —
Merle Hickey; Third — James
W. Rooney, (all incumbents).
For board of education: Ira
;j. Moss and Hugh J. Birming
ham, (incumbents).
For city clerk: O. D. French,
(incumbent).

Watson.

Tomlinson, (incumbent).
All of the city posts to be
voted on are for 2-year terms.
The school posts are for 3-year
terms.
Meanwhile, Birmi ngham
has declined to be a candi
date for the school board
and only Moss's name will
appear on the ballot. E. F.
Quinn, present city treasur
er, is not a candidate for re
election.
Dishner was elected mayor
n 1946, succeeding John K.er
senbrock. Dishner served 1
tther term prior to World War
I.

Frank J. Brady, incumbent, is
not a candidate for reelection

Keating’s candidacy for mayor
had been filed earlier, but

the Citizen’s party, is opposed
by Arthur Humpal, of the Peo
ple’s party, for the First ward
council post. Carroll C. Ray

Patrons say he has carried
mail through storms and
over bad roads and that he
rarely failed to deliver mail
to each box. Many times he
has been obliged to "back
track," driving considerably
out of his way. Some of his
patrons tell of occasions
when Mr. Burch would walk
quite a distance to deliver
mail in order to keep his ser
vice record intact.
In 1935-'36, when unusually
deep snow blanketed the coun
j ty through most of the winter
months, he frequently made
j the trip with a team of horses
nnd a bobsled.
Mr. Burch, however, is not
! impressed with his own record.
He insists that “there have
been compensations for his
trouble.” Among these, he says,
are the eager children await
ing him at their boxes and
many of these children, now
adults, regard him as their
“special mail man.”
George L. Smith, Mr. Burch’s
substitute, took over the route
today and will serve until a
I new carrier is appointed.
