Protest.
HOT ARGUMENT HELD
OVER SCHMAUDER'S JOB
But Chief Clerk in the Treas.

His Medicine.

Five Republican city employees were

Common Council last night. They We're

the city treasurer's Office; John IL.

taxes.
Aldermen Congleton and +, G. Meyer.
for the Republican minority. made a
fight against the action, particularly
against the remova of Schmauder.
Alderman Meyer said that V'hen the
Republicans were in the majority it
was the practise to retain a chief clerk
In office, regardless of politics.
Alderman Congleton said II would
like to call attention to the fact that
this position was previously held by a
Democrat, who was retained in office
by the Republicans until he died, be-
cause he was a good public official. It's
a mistake to let Schmauder go. He is
the man who handles the citY's cash,
and we are going a great way toward
demoralizing the department in dis
missing him"
