The election of a new President of the Jewish Community to succeed the late Dr. Alexander Leder has been fixed to take place on March 8th. This decision was made at a meeting of the Board of the Jewish Community held here under the chairmanship of M. Gustav Ehrlich.
The meeting decided to establish an Endowment Fund to situate the memory of Dr. Lederer, to erect a fitting manorial over his grave, and to commission a portrait to be painted of him which would bang in the Jewish Communal building.
