Mayoralty Candidates Enter City Election Buzz Gathers Pace
Very little public interest in the coming city election as candidates hold off until the new city charter settles. Rumors place George Kean as a potential Democratic candidate. Republican names are few and unclear. Incumbent Mayor Arndt did not confirm or deny plans, while others like Mr. Kean and Mr. Wegsel are mentioned. City clerk Howard MavFagler likely faces no opposition if the charter does not alter the office. A grand fashion show and spring openings by McMullen Bros. accompany local notes.
