The Moth and the Flame wagon.

A new accusation has been brought against the automobile. The Gypsy luoth, which has done millions of dol lars worth of damage in Massachu- setts. has escaped to New Hampshire and Connecticut. and is now invading New York State. The peripatetic mo- tor seems to be an auxiliary for the transportation of this ravaging enemy of trees and vegetation. The State en- tcmologist, in warning the inhabitants of the Empire State against the foe, likes to ride by automobile. "Experi- ence," he says, has shown that auto- m obiIes are very active agents in trans porting this insect and, with their in- creased use in recent years, no one can foresee where the pest may appear next"

WILL EXPRESS COMPANIES Be EXEMPTED IN FINAL DRAFT Of THE RATE Bill?

revocation or annulment? For reasons
of somewhat urgent character, l
should like your official opinion upon
the questions above submitted, at
your earliest convenience"
Mr.. Atkinson answered in part:
at seems very clear and direct that
the law requires that he should simply
be possessed of certificate or diploma
in force and effect at the time Of his
election or appointment; and there is
nothing in this statute to imply or
demand that he take an examination
or be compelled in any way to re-
new such certificate or diploma dur
ing his term of office if his certifi-
cate should have expired within that
time
Therefore, 1 am of the opinion that
the requirement that he possess such
certificate or diploma is limited as
mandatory to the time of his election
or appointment, and that if he neg
lects or fails to have such paper re-
newed it does not disqualify him from
holding office during the term for
which he was elected or appointed
In reply to your next question as
to whether revocation for cause. Of
the certificate of a county superin-
tendent at any time during his term
of office, would disqualify him to hold
Office from and after such order of
revocation or annulment, l will say
that it is my opinion it would not so
disqualify him from holding office.
That would disqualify him from teach
ing, but there is nothing that I find
in the law that would reach, affect,
or limit, his right to hold office.
'If for any reason the county super
intendent or any other county officer,
by malfeasance in office, or as an Of
ficer, perform or do such things as
would be against the law, he would
be liable to prosecution under the
proper provisions of the law, but in the
case of the county superintendent, he
would not be so disqualified because
of the revocation of his certificate to
teach 81

that the Warren Construction have Of

Shotwell in the work, and much bet
ter progress was made.
In speaking of the matter this after
noon one of the members Of the water
committee said: '"The committee be-
lieves that Mr.. Shotwell is competent
and understands his business, but he
has been too slow in the work and we
deemed it best that he be asked to re-
sign"
The water committee made trip up
the creek this morning to look over
the work being done by the pipe COM
pany and inspect the reservoir site.
They reported on their return to the
city that the pipe was being laid by

Lad with Councilman Martin, one Of
the members of the water committee.
Mr.. Martin was on the ground
Wednesday and after watching the
work being carried on by Shotwell was
not satisfied that he was prosecut-
ing the work as rapidly as he should.
He spoke to Shotwell about the work,

versy arose. AS a result Councilman
Martin informed Shotwell that his
resignation would be acceptable This
morning Shotwell announced that the
resignation would be placed in the
hands of the committee tonight
1t is claimed by the members Of
the water committee that Shotwell has
not kept the work going as fast as was
desired and that the ditch men were
being greatly delayed by the engineer
not having the line staked out for
them. Engineer Wilson was sent up
