grave doubt as to. whether or not DIR.

for the CITY Of Spokane. ,<~s.aa
DR.. Newman said: My friends say

DR.. Allen said: II don't care to
discuss this affair through the news

: DR.. Newman Is occupying his old
Office in the Traders building today
and DIR. Allen has been in charge of
the health ONCE in the city hall. Or.
Aliens side of the discussion points
that he drew the salary for the Of
fee last month, that the board of
health accepted the resignation of
DR.. Newman at a meeting on July rs
and unanimously appointed him
health officer. This side also claims
that 1t Is not necessary for the city
council to officially accept the resis-
nation Of the health ofYicer and that
the acceptance by the board Of health
Is sufficient.
