by some other official.
On the other side it is claimed that
the secretary has to approve all bills,
and that such work makes necessary
more or less personal investigation and
entails enough responsibility to Justify
the salary paid-$75 per month.
To this it was replied that there is a
salaried secretary of the board. also q
salaried superintendent Of construction
or foreman who 'oversees all manual
labor and mechanical work performed
for the board, and whose duty it is to
verify all claims for labor and material
before they are presented to the board
for allowance. The work Of the clerk
in passing upon bills therefore, is no
more than that performed by tho chair
man of the finance committee, or, in
fact, of any committee to which matters
are referred for the information of the
board; and if the clerk is entitled to
compensation, then the chairmen Of all
the committees are likewise entitled to
salary.
Of course, the people at the last school
election endorsed this sort of freedom
with their money. They must like it,
then, and SO nobody has any kick COM
ing.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Director Bowman Alleges That
All Things Are Not on '
the Square.
Padded Statistics and too Free
Disbursement of Public
Money. ...s

Saturday evenings meeting of the
school board, according to all accounts,
was decidedly warm. There were ssev-
eral causes of war, but the main thing
was the report of the superintenden
showing an increase of enrolment from
s,184 last year to 1928 this year. i
Director Bowman inquired of Supt.
Denfeld if the figures were padded or
based on facts, adding 1T has come to
my knowledge that last years figures
were padded" ...s.....
To reporter DR.. Bowman stated that
the information came from the teachers
themselves. When told by patrons of
the schools that it was customary to
mark absent pupils as being present he
was incredulous until after numerous
inquiries, he had been repeatedly
informed by teachers that such were
their instructions.
This matter was finally disposed of by
reference to committee composed of
Directors Salter, Harrison and sLeTour-
neau.
The other disagreement arose over
salary of Clerk Cobb. AS chairman of
the finance committee DR.. Bowman de-
clined to audit Mr.. Cobb's claim. In
explanation he said in part
1T was clearly proven at the last
meeting that Mr.. Cobb's services were
entirely unnecessary. I think it was
mistake to employ him in that capac-
ity and that it was political move and
for that reason wrong. l take this po-
sition and mean to stand by it,
DR.. Salter took issue with DR.. Bow
man and after considerable discussion
the bill was allowed. In explanation of
his action DR.. Bowman told the reporter
that at previous meeting of the board
this matter was discussed and it was
shown that the work alleged to be per-
formed by the clerk, by the rules under
which the board does business, is al
most wholly required to be performed

chise Of the present company expires.
This provision is to enable the city to
let local franchise to the highest bid
der. The American company is forbid
den to transfer it's franchise without
permission of the council. Section 5
provides for the payment to the city Of
per cent of the gross receipts until the
city has attained a population Of Is, 600;
2 per cent thereafter until the popula-
tion reaches 100 900, and thereafter 3 per
cent. Section 6 makes the company
amenable to such changes as may here
after be made in the city charter. It is
also provided that if the city of Duluth
at any time operates telephone system
of it's own, connections shall be made on
Just and reasonable terms. And the
right to alter, amend or revoke the
franchise at the end of fifteen years is
reserved by the city, while the life of the
franchise expires by limitation at the
end OF 80 years.
Alderman Simpson objected to the
reception of the report; Jefferson also
opposed the ordinance, and on motion
of Alderman Crassweller it was referred
to the city attorney to report in writing.
Mr.. Crassweller's motion also requires
that the ordinance be published, that
the clerk mail copy to each alderman
and that the first hour of the next ses-
sion be set apart to hear the opinion of
citizens, notice of such hearing to be
published with the copy of the substi-
tute.
The Prescott matter came up on a
resolution instructing the board of pub
lie works to sub-lease theMarinette Iron
Works to the Prescott company with
the proviso that any work the company
might wish to do should not in any way
interfere with the city in completing the
pumps. Alderman Jefferson took to the
war path Immediately. In answer to
his demands for information the mayor
explained that while no agreement had
been made he had. told Mr.. Prescott's
attorney, who was also the attorney for
the receiver, that he could see no reason
why the city should not grant them the
use of the tools and machinery in so far
as such use did not interfere with the
city. Such consideration had great
deal to do with the city getting the use

PHONE ORDINANCE.
Deferred and Ordered Pub.
lishod to Give Citizens a
Chance to be Heard.
Wrangle Over Proposition to
Suitcase Use OF Marinotto
Works to Prescott.

The copncil meeting Monday night
ufvidBu it's attention between the tele-
phone ordinance and the Prescott com
pany with the latter getting the bulk Of
the attention.
When it came to paying the October
bills, on motion of Alderman Sang the
fire department bills were referred back
to the fire commissioners. In explana-
ton of his motion Mr.. Sang said that
the city attorney had rendered an opin-
ion that the fire commissioners had full
authority in the matter of these bills
and their approval by the council was q
mere matter of form. The council
seemed to agree with the alderman from
the eighth ward that this was most
happy solution of the dispute with the
fire commissioners and the bills were so
referred to be paid on their order.
Estimates to contractors were allowed
as follows: Engle & Osman, S12,12886;
Michael Fitzgerald, s6,116.34; James A..
Burke, s2.445.49; G. J. Frederickson,
S2,9716O. Insurance policies we're ap-
proved on the Prescott pumps for
sl7,500 at cost of s271.25, and the pre-
miums due on expired policies were
referred to the water works committee.
A resolution was passed ordering the
strengthening and refilling ot the fire
cisterns in West Duluth at McEwen
street.
The first bone of contention was the
long distance telephone ordinance. The
one introduced Monday night differs
materially from the one considered at
the previous meeting. 1t provides that

THE ODD FELLOWS BAZAAR.
The Committee Begins Its Prepare
tiOns-The Ladies VIII Assist.

WIN the ladies assist us? That was the
question which came before the mass
meeting Of Odd Fellows last night, which
assembled to consider the Bazaar, which
all the. lodges propose to hold in the
Guards hall, Bull and Charlton Streets
beginning Nov. S. Upon opening the meet
ing, Chairman Thos. A. Askew stated the
object as above mentioned, and many
matters relative to the approaching ba-
zaar were discussed. \ committee OF three
members from the different lodges was
appointed upon various matters with ref
erence TO the perfecting or arrangements
for the big event
II was the unanimous opinion that each
lodge should appoint committees which
should, in turn, appoint ladies commit
tees. After the mass meeting had adjourn
ed meeting Of the general committee on
arrangements for the bazaar was hela
and steps were taken, by the appointment
of q committee of three, to draft circulars
to promulgate among the friends OF the
order.
From the enthusiasm which animated
the ladies present at the meeting, the
bazaar will certainly be a glowing success.
All seemed eager to proceed, and the
manifest determination surely pAOSd6S9
nothing short of a most profitable affair.
In a circular the general committee
says: at is the first time that the Odd
Fellows of Savannah have ever made an
appeal to the public, and would not at
this time, but for the exigencies of the
case. The bazaar is for the purpose of
raising funds to pay off the floating in
debtedness upon our hall. The disastrous
fire Of a few years ago, which destroyed
our hall and its contents, left the asso-
citation heavily in debt, but the members
were not discouraged. A large loan was
negotiated, the lodges putting in their saw
ings. and the brethren generally taking
stock On the ruins was erected the
present magnificent structure, which is an
ornament to our city"
A saving of about $500 has been made
to the Odd Fellows in the bazar move
ment by reason of the courtesy extended
in allowing them the use of the Guards
han. Further meetings will be held from
time to time until all details preparatory
to the event are arranged.

HAS A CLEAR RECORD.
The Eastern judicial Circuit Free
From All the Convict Charges.

The Eastern judicial Circuit Free
From All the Convict Charges.
The eastern judicial circuit of Georgia
has clear record on the convict ques-
ton, and Judge Falligant has written Gov.
Atkinson that there are no misdemeanor
convicts from the superior court leased to
private parties in any of the counties in
mis- circuit. This is, indeed, a good record
for the eastern circuit.
After an Investigation of the matter,
Judge Falligant has found that there are
no misdemeanCr convicts from the super
ior court in bingham leased to private
parties ard has so informed the governor.
AS to the misdemeanor convicts from the
county court, that is a matter between
Judge Tarver Of that court and the gov
ernor.
Bryan, Mcintosh and Liberty counties
have clean records all around. There are
no misdemcanor convicts in those coun-
ties either from the supe@r court or the
county courts leased to private parties,
and it is Well known that such Is the case
in Chatham since ali the convicts here are
employed on the public works by the
county authorities. Al such a time the
eastern circuit is fortunate in having
such an excellent record, due undoubtedly
to the careful attention to duty OF its
officials

THE MEN WELL CARED FOR,
Sailors From the Grace Had Meals
and lodgings at the Port Society.

Rev. II. Iversdh. superintendent of the
Port Society, contradicts the statement
made by the stranded sailors from the ILL
fated schooner Agnes I. Grace, which
foundered off Tybee, to the effect that they
were called upon for money for their ac-
commodations at the rooms of that inst-
tuition.
The men were provided for on Monday
night at the Pors Society as stated in the
Morning News, and besides being given
lodgings, they were given supper at Mr..
lversons home, but they went off Tues
day morning without their breakfast and
without Mr.. VERSIONS knowing anything
about it. and made the statement to the
United States commissioner as published
yesterday. Tuesday afternoon they were
fed at the society's expense and are now
receiving OF its bounty. Mr.. Iversou states
that the men were not only cared for in
this way, but one of them was given fifty
cents and another a quarter. II appears.
therefore. that the sailors could have Sc
cured their meals and lodging there with
out any difficulty on Tuesday had they
made any effort to do so. As a matter of
fact they did go back Tuesday night, and
were given beds free of cost.

THE GUNS WILL BE RAISED.
Washington officials Say They Cost
$4,000 Each UnmOuntcd.

SI2.OOO Each amounted.
According to the Washington Post. none
Of the officials of the war department
have as yet received any official informal
ton regarding the loss of guns on the
schooner Grace, which were intended for
the fortifications on Tybee Island, one of
the defenses of Savannah. Capt. ]. f.
Kuhn of the engineer corps, assistant to
the chief of engineers, said on Monday:
II have received no information concern
ing the loss of the guns The war de
partment has been closed to-day, and tel
egrams received to-day win not be read
until tomorrow. We have been informed
by the ordnance department of a number
of shipments of guns to southern ports,
some by rail and some by water, and 1
believe the guns for Tybee Island were
to go by water / do not recollect the
number of guns included in that ship
ment, but 1t was probaly not more than
two or three, as only four in all are now
intended to be located at that point. They
are eight-inch rifles, TO be mounted on
disappearing carriages, and cost about
$4,000 apiece unmounted. If the guns did
not go down In very deep water or are
not too deeply buried in sand it ought
not to be very difficult 10 find and raise
them with graphing irons. Even if they
are a total loss, no delay will be occa-
stoned by the engineer corps in complet-
ing the work on the fortihcations at Ty-
bee, as the works are not yet quite ready
for mounting the guns. and the ordnance
department has on hand a considerable
number of guns of this type from which
the possible loss of the guns on the wreck
ed schooner could easily be supplied In

LONGsHOREMEN MEET.
Monthly Meeting of the Union Held
Last Night.

The Longshoremens Protective Union
Association held a regular monthly meet
ing at Sheftall hall, corner Bay and Lum-
Der streets, last night. The meeting was
a large one. between 400 and 500 men be-
ing present.
Though the situation with regard to the
loading of vessels with cotton was fully
discussed nothing new was brought out
and only routine business was transacted.
The only thing the longshoremen had 10
say was that they were more determined
than ever.
There are several ships in port and it
is understood that Col. Harmon will begin
loading them to-day. Col. Harmon says
he has plenty of men to put to work and
he does not apprehend the slightest diff
Guilty in getting all the men he needs.
