| WEDNESDAY; AUG.- 20, -1010- FOUR GATE CITY - COMMISSIONERS’ JOBS: IN DOUBT Recall Petitions Filed Against Mayor! ‘Alex Stern and Three Associates Fargo, N. D., Aug. 20,—Petitions ask- ing for the recall of Mayor Alex Stern and Commissioner.J. J. Jordan, John E. Hogan and O. M. Strate were circulated in Fargo: yesterday. The petitions bear no name of any individual \or organization as spon- scring the ‘recall, each of the forms being the same except where the names of the individual commission- erg are substituted. Three Charges Made. On each of the petitions is the fol- lowing statement: “The general grounds for his re- moval is sought are: - That he has used the office of city commissioner to further his own in- terests, “That he is incompetent to perform the duties of the office of city com- qmissioner. “That he has neglected and disre- garded his duties as such officer.” Ars. F, H. Wilder, commissioner of police, is the only one of the five mem- bers of the commission who is not in- eluded in the petitions for recall. To obtain a recall election, 810 sig- uatures must be obtained on each ol the petitions is the opinion of City Auditor A. R. Watkins, who said last right that he was not sure, but be- hheved that the petitions must bear signatures amounting td 30 percent of the number of ‘votes cast in the last presidential election. : After the recall petitions are filed, apy candidate must circulate petitions and obtain signatures numbering 10 percent of the number of votes cast in the last city election, In. the gossip on the streets last night, J. H. Dahl, a former city commissioner, who was re- culled, was mentioned as a pussible candidate. He is out of the city at the , present time. ‘Commigsioners Reply. Mayor Alex Stern is out of town, and could not be reached last night. He will return tomorrow or the next day. Commissioner Strate declared last night that he would fight the recall. “As to the first charge, I have not used the office to further my own in- terests,”. Commissioner Strate declar- ed last ‘night, “Since selling out my business last’ April I have had no interests of my own to further; my ouly interests have been in the inter- ests of the city. “As to the second charge, that of incompetence, I leave the people of the|G: city to judge. “As to the third, I have given all my time to the duties of the office. 1 have been ready and willing at any time to hear any complaints of our work, and to try to remedy the things complained of.” Commissigner Jordan said he would not fight the recall. “If the people of Fargo see fit to recall me,” was his. only comment, . “it is their right and privilege to do so.” EXPECT RULING WILL BENEFIT SUPPLY BUYERS (Continued From Page One) Chase foodstuffs from the government at Omaha considerably cheeper than the ruling prices here. A comparison of price of foodstuffs delivered at Bismarck under the former ruling and the new announcement is as follows: Articles Former prices Bacon, 12-lb cans .:.... $29.01 Corned Beef, No. 1 cans 16.55.

Reed stated today that just as soon as he receives official instruction from Washington regarding the-new ruling on allowing this parcels to, be sent pnder the first zone rates instead of the. fonrth zone rates, he will announce the fact. From the above toble, it is seen that the differences between the former prices and prices under first zone parcels post rates amounts to more than $4 in some in- stances. Up to the present time, the postot- fice has not received any orders for army foodstuffs, but 2 large number of inquiries haye been. received as to he blankets the war department is of- fering for sale. The prices of these blankets range from $6 for new ones to $2 for cotton reclaimed blankets. Postmaster Reed has not received any instructions on how to handle orders for blankets and it is not under- stood that the postoffice department will attend to heir sale as it is doing in the case of foodstuffs. It is sug- gested that those persons wishing to purchase the government — blankets, should communicate directly with the Qvartermaster’s’ Department, Wash- ington, D. C., for information.
