The board of public works imme-

whether the last order repealed the
first 1t couldn't understand, some
how, and Roy sent communication
to the council asking which order
it was to obey. The council has
never formally answered this COM

table.
The majority in the council is
practically the same as when Mayor
Dagett was in office. Meanwhile.
the city has paid for the temporary
bridge and will pay about 800 more
now for repair of damage caused by
the Sunday night storm.

On account of the republican plat
form declaration that public utility
corporations should pay fair share
of the cost and maintenance of city
bridges, much inquiry has been
started on what course will be
pursued by the new administration
in regard to the bridge tangle it in

Mayor Moore stated this morning
that he had not yet given the fail
ure of the Washington Water
Power Co. to pay it's share of the

tract to maintain this bridge the

PRINCIPAL CLOYD AND HIS
ACCUSERS DROPPED IN A
BUNCH FROM HIGH SCHOOL
FACULTY,

A general cleanup Of the Cloyd
high school trouble was made by
the board of education last night.
The board washed it's hands of the
whole affair by dropping Principal
Cloyd and the 6 high school teach
ers prominent in the recent school
spat.
This action disposes of the
charges against the principal on
one hand and Cloyds defense and
counter-charges on the other. The
board is being generally congratu-
lated today on the final disposition
of the case.
Superintendent Tormey continued
his fight in behalf of Cloyd up to
the moment of the announcement
of the boards decision, but his plea
for the principal passed unheeded.
The board was unanimous In de-
termination to wipe the slate clean
of faculty friction.
The decision was reached in exc
qutive session and there was no dis
tusson of the teachers committee
report when 1t was submitted. In
reply to Superintendent Tormey's
recommendation in behalf of Prin-
cipal Cloyd the board directed him
to seek a new candidate for the
high school principalship.
The teachers who pass out with
Cloyd are: Kate b. Reed, Inez II.
Weed, Grace e. Moore, Elizabeth
Mackay. Mrs. |. c. Libby, lneZ De
Lashmutt.
The following teachers We're
nominated to fill the vacancies
created in the high school faculty:
l.. d. Fowler, Jane Palmer, A. H..
Burton, Emily Johnson, d. b. He'll.
b. j. Uhl, Frank Shaedler, II. C..
Shattuck.
In addition to the teachers not re-
elected. s. T. Jordon declined to be
a candidate for another term.
While Superintendent Tormey
has openly avowed his partizanship
for Principal Cloyd, the board eX-
poets no further opposition from
him, now that final action has been
taken. The new high school prin.
cipal will draw a salary of $4,000
per year.
Another important incident of the
Cloyd case came up late yesterday
afternoon when Judge Poindexter
issued temporary injunction re-
straining payment of the $500 detec-
tive bill incurred in the pursuit of
boys who projected eggs at Prin-
cipal Cloyd as token of their dis
like of him. The court will hear
argument on May % and decide
whether the order will be made per-
manent.

of the conference be submitted to
the Structural Alliance.
The electrical workers came in
for some sharp criticism last night
for having been the first union to
open the fight with the company
and the first to go to work at the

now employed at the park said that
they had only accepted employment
at that place after the electrical
workers had done so.
The proposition to place Nata-

to fill those offices on a salary of Sl,800 year. It is possible that the present incumbents do not re- ceiye that amount, but until required to keep and report amounts received in fees the tax payers do not know, and they certainly have right to know how much they receive.
 The Missouri law, which requires all fees above a fixed and reasonable salary paid county officers to accrue to the benefit of the people is Demo- cratic and one no reasonable person can object to.
 Where this law has been in opera ton, as it is in Benton, Carroll and other counties in this state, it has been found that fees are collected more closely and that the officers by being more particular to demand the fees in advance prevent much litagation.
 1t is a good thing for the people no matter how you look at 1t.
