MUMAUGH AND HIS CITY JOB
Not Forced Out By Mayors order.
but Resigned for BETTER
Plree.

b statement in the world-Herald Sat-
urday afternoon tina S. R. Mumaugh, who
committed suicide at the Thurston hotel,
had been compelled to give up a Job in the
city engineers once because Mayor Moores
had so ordered has caused a good deal Of
indignation around the city hall. 1t was
further stated that Aumaugh was supposed
to have ended his life because he could not
obtain employment. An oflcer OF the pub
lie works department said yesterday;
The facts concerning Mumaugh are these.
He was employed as sewer Inspector. and
when that class Of work ceased he resigned,
showing letters that promised him a good
job in California. The place was with an
engineering party surveying for a railroad
and was to pay 800 a month. Mumaugh
was considered an excellent workman and
was given a hrst-elsss letter by City En-
gineeT Rosewater. He was not forced out
Of his place in any way, buc resigned OF
his own accord. Later when the California
job fell through Mayor Moores took 1t upon
himself to induce Governor Mickey TO give
Mumaugh a job as guard sf the peniten-
tlary. Instead Of trying TO cut him on
without work the mayor was trying to help
him. The brother of the dead man who
knows the circumstances. stands ready, l
understand, to sign any kind OF a letter
generating the city officers from the mayor
down from the charges made in the World
Herald. These statements we're for political
capital-nothing more or less"

nue. market house will not be ready for
occupancy before April Is, according 70
Building Inspector Carter. The brick work

the interior finishing begun. The stalls are

Eood-sired force Of men at work. Il is esti-
mated tina IL will take them three weeks
to complete the job. Until hat time the
retail market gardeners have no legalized
place to sell their goods. While a whole
sale market place Is being arranged at
Twelfth and Jackson streets. Il Is TO the
new Capitol avenue building that the re-
tailers are expected TO go.
Many inquiries are being received in the
city engineering and Board Of Public Works
of1ces as to when the Capitol avenue mar
ket house is 20 be finished and when the
stalls will be auctioned OF. Assistant City
Engineer Craig says: 1T looks as though
there will be a good demand for the stalls.
Judging from the number OF Inquiries We
have received. Not a day goes BY but a
few market gardeners telephone in and
ask how soon they can obtain stalls in the
new mart. They. Of course. want TO be on
the ground early. but I do not think they
will lose much business il they can start
April Is. The interest shown b. the mar
ket gardeners Is encouraging and II appears
that with proper management the market
house should pay for itself within q few
years"
