months that he has been in office.
Newbry was appointed secretary
cf state after the accidental death
of Robert S. Farrell, Jr., last fall.
The position he seeks is one of ut­
most importance and he is suited
in background and training to fill
it capably, having served as state
representative in 1939 and 1941
session and as state senator in
1942 and 1946. In 1947 he was
chairman of the senate labor and
industries committee.

CITY TO GET INFORMATION
SEASIDE — The city council
will obtain information on costs
for parking meters, and their in­
stallation and other necessary in­
formation as a result of action
taken at the meeting of the city
council last week. The move, how­
ever, does not commit the council
to purchase the meters and it is
expected that a further check on
sentiment in Seaside will be made
