Ellen Howard Ray, of Public
Library, Tenders Resigna-
ton to President Daily
TO BECOME EFFECTIVE SOON
Miss Ray Will Leave as Soon as Her
Successor is Appointed-Board Will
Accept Her Resignation at Its Reg
ular October Meetins-No Action
Will be Taken by Board Until Then.

Another stir in public library cir
cles will be created today thru the an
nouncement of the resignation OF Miss
Ellen Howard Ray, librarian. Altho
her resignation was rendered to Pres
ident Anthony G. DAILY, of the board
Of trustees, last Thursday, it has been
kept quiet and none of the other
members of the board has been appris-
ed of the fact The cause is given as
being due to little unpleasantnesse
which became unbearable. The board
will take no action until it's regular
October meeting, when Miss Rays
resignation will be accepted, and no
steps will be taken to secure a sue
cessor until that time. Until a lprar-
Ian is employed to succeed her, MISS
Ray will remain in charge.
Without going into details, MISS Ray
when seen, said that be- action was
due to annoying incidel ana tactlcS
pursued by some Of the GARD mem
bers. which made her ,osltlon Tar
from an easy one. She did not con-
slider the position worth the trouble
and worry, which she had expended
in an unsuccessful attempt to please
some of the trustees.
While Miss Ray declined to talk for
publication, those who are closely IN
touch with certain committees or the
board are aware that affairs at the
public library have not been running
as smoothly as they might. Trlf1lng
pickering and petty disturbances have
been bobbing up from time to time
among the board members and the
librarian.
When seen this morning President
Daily said Miss Ray had not conhded
in him why she was reslgnlng. he
said personally her work had pe9n
most satisfactory to him and he re-
GREETED that she wished to leave. 1t has
been known for several weeks that
Miss Ray, whose contract expires on
October 81, would not remain for an
other year. In fact it was lndlrectly
limited at a very recent board meeting
that such would be the case.
no the public in general, which has
become acquainted with MISS Ray
thru visits to the library during her
term of almost a year of service, she
has proved most capable. she mas
been obliging and considerate and mas
proved a willing assistant to those
who used the library for research work
To those and the many personal
friends she has made during her stay,
her resignation will be learned With
regret. Her plans for the future are
Indefinite

AGAIN FUSES OVER BILLS
Councilman sieg Brings Up the Cues

Councilman Sieg Brings Up the Ques-
ton Of Councilmen's Bills.
Councilman Sieg, of the Sixth ward,
bobbed UP with his elimination mo-
+;nna in regard to the bills contracted
nv the city, in which, either directly or
Indirectly, members of the council are
interested. Councilman Henry, OF the
First. called the Sixth ward member
to task, grew personal and mayor
Jones had to step in with a request
that personalities be avoided. 1t kept
his honor busy watching the corners,
for Mr.. Psenicka, of the Fifth, accused
Mr.. Sieg of trying to get before the
public by sticking his nose Here
Mayor Jones interrupted the gentle
man from the Fifth. Mr.. Abbott, as
chairman of the judiciary committee.
again Sendeavored to explain that
,whateyer bills may have been con-
tacted were in the regular channels
of trade, and not in violation OF any
law, as he saw it. He suggested that
Instead of having this motion come up
like a mushroom, at each meeting,
MIR. Sfeg begin legal action. Mr.. Sleg
declared he had no personal feeling IN
the matter, but he did not think IT
right for councilmen to deal with
themselves, order goods from them
selves and audit their own bills. He
animated that he would resort to the
law in order to ascertain the legality
OF the question.
On the amendment to eliminate CAL
hloun, Iseman and Sieg voted aye.
1,hey also voted the same way on
the payment of the bills.

CITY WATER is GOOD

So Announces City Health Physician
Lierle in Report to Board of Health
Monday Minht-First of Monthly Re-
ports Filed.
City Health Physician f. p. Lierle
filed his first monthly report on the city
water supply with the board of health
Monday night The water is pronounce
ed pure and wholesome, on me date of
the examination, which was completed
Saturday. In presenting the report,
however, Dr. Lierle says that at all
times a. water supply is subject to
change, and it will be his intention to
make examinations regularly, and per-
haps oftener than once a month, in
order to know the exact condition of
the water at all times. The report of
the health physician is as follows:
81 beg leave to report to you my
finding in my examination of the city
water, made with the idea OF deter
mining it's purity, to be used for domes-
tie purposes. First: An examination OF
two samples, one taken from my resi-
dence, and one at my office shows no
trace of the colon bacillus. Second: An
examination of the same water at
twenty degrees cen1igrade, shows 1T to
contain approximately $50 germs per
cubic centimeter. Third: The same
water was found to contain one and
ninety one-h undredth parts per lOo,-
O0O..
1.-THE Importance of these findings
may be summed up as follows: Ire
colon bacillus is always found in sew
age. containing animal or human ex-
cretia. It's absence is very presump-
tious evidence that our water does not
contain sewage from this source The
number of bacteria per c. c. is low,
which also indicates the absence Of
sewage. The amount of chlorine and
it's significance in connection with
given water supply depends largely on
the locality Of said supply. 1t would
appear in the amount found in this
examination, considering the locality, to
be amount normal. The deduction to
be drawn from this is that all kinds OF
foods contain chlorine as common salt,
and in sewage contaminated water the
chlorine runs high. / am strongly of
the opinion that the present condition
Of our water supply is pure and whole-
some.
every respectfully,
Of. P. LIERLE,
Getty health physician"
