of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known

FELLOW EspMAToRs SAY HE'S
BARRED FROM SERVICE BY
WORKING FOR SCHOOL 30.

Some members of the board of esti-
mates are considering action with re-
gard To disputing the right OF William
A. Schneider, estimator from the Sew
enth ward, to sit In that body. Schnei-
der is said to have become disquali-
fed through contracting to inspect
coal FOR the board ~ education last
summer.
An opinion may be asked from The
corporation counsel as TO the legality
OF Schnieder's sitting. II is contended
that 1t Is not public policy for an Of
fetal 10 act on estimates OF body by
which he has been employed.
THE board appoints a coal inspector
every summer and SCHNEIDER was the
man appointed. said Supervisor A. l..
Stewart. "tIe got eight cents Ton
for inspection"
The present dIfficult arises from
Schneiders telling some public CT
f,cials last summer that he had con
tract with the school BOARD
When asked as to the charter pro-
visions, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Wea6ock stated unofficially, that
an estimator is bound by the provis-
ions as an alderman with regard 20
not entering into contracts with the
city. Apparently he is not bound as
to employment, however. and there
still remains question as TO whether
Schneider's position may have been
