He had broad face and little round
belly,
That shook when he laughed like 2 bow

He was chubby and plump, right jolly

And laughed when i saw him in spite

A wink of his eye and a twist of his
head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to
dread;
He spoke not word but went straight
to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned
with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside OF his nose.
Ang giving nod, UP the chimney he
rose;
He sprang to his sleigh. to his team

And away they all flew like the down Of

INVESTIGATING MACK.
City Council Looks Into Some Of
the Superintendent's Trans.
actions.
A Plumbing Job for a Council
man the Principal Bone OF
Contention.
Suspension is Continued and a
Deadlock in Council
Probable.

The city council, sitting behind closed
| doors as committee of the whole, on
/ Thursday night conducted an investiga-
| ton OF the water department as it per-
| tains to some of the transactions of SUI
perintendent of Mains 4. 2. Mack. The
pertained to job of plumbing done by
employees of the department for Council
| man II. j. Benson. BY close vote
the courcilmen agreed to continue the
| suspension, but when the matter comes
up in open council a tie vote IL probable.
The investigation Thursday night
showed that the city had suffered no
financial loss thru the plumbing job, and
the members of the council who are de-
sirous of securing change in the water
superintendency do not say that any
wrong-doing was intended, but they do
insist that the transaction was unwise
and bad policy and would give the peo-
pie an opportunity to criticise all con-
oerned. Councilman Benson recently
erected new residence and awarded the
plumbing contract to Perry Mack, q
brother of the superintendent of mains.
During the absence of both Mr.. Benson
and Perry Mack from the city two Of
the employees of the water department,
under orders from Superintendent Mack,
dug the bitches and laid the water pipes
to Mr.. Benson's house. Superintendent
Mack says this was done simply as
matter Of accommodation. The bills for
the two mems services were presented to
the council for thirteen days each at 81
per day, were approved by Mr.. Mack
and allowed. This, he claims, was to en-
able the two employees to secure their
pay without awaiting the return OF the
employing plumber. Then bill from
Perry Mack was filed for III feet of iron
pipe, most of which was used on the
Benson job, was approved by the super
intendent and allowed, with the notation
that it was used at the pumping station.
These transactions were known to q
city employe whose bill for overtime had
been turned down by the water commit
tee, and who informed other members OF
the. city council, resulting In the present
investigation. In the meantime Mr..
Benson, upon his return home, paid
Perry Mack in full for his plumbing job.
When the latter called at the clerks Of
flee he was given warrant for the full

amount of the cost of the LII feet Of
pipe. but refused to accept 1t, saying 1t
Was more than was due him and that an
error had been made by his wife in
making out the bill.
Superintendent Mack appeared before
the committee of the whole Thursday
night and insisted that the intentions of
all concerned in the transactions were
honest. and that the city employees had
been loaned to his brother as a matter
Of accommodation to Mr.. Benson and
the plumber to complete the work at
once, and that the plan was to have the
city reimbursed for the thirteen days
tine of the two men. In regard to the
pipe bill O. KID by him he said he had
not investigated that as he should and
that its allowance was an oversight. The
superintendent admitted, however, that
the whole proceeding was irregular and
was not proper. In connection with the
charges of disobedience of orders in hir-
Ing a livery team for himself it was ar
gued that it was necessary at that time,
because he was attempting to close the
work at the sewage plant for the winter,
demands were made on his time at the
water works station, where boiler was
being set and connections made, and the
glucose company was also making de-
mands on his time, SO that horse and
buggy were needed.
After the hearing and explanations
Mr.. Mcclure, of the water committee,
moved to reinstate Mr.. Mack, but this
was lost by vote of to 8, Messrs
Harris, Fisher, Kirby and WATSON vot-
ing no and Messrs. Mcclure, Kreutzer
and Henry yes. A motion was then
made and carried by the same vote TO
continue the suspension until the next
regular meeting, when the result Of the
committees deliberations will be re-
ported to the council in open session. At
that time Mr.. Benson. who is absent IN
the west, is expected to be present and
vote to reinstate the superintendent.
which will make the vote tie and
throw the responsibility OF deciding the
question on Mayor Jones.
The entire membership Of the water
committee is supporting the superin-
tendent, and Mr.. Henry. who voted to
suspend last Monday. changed his posi-
ton after the hearing and voted with
the three members Of the committee.
