found that Mayor Rush has put his veto
on the proposed school site at the cor
ner of Sixth avenue and Sixteenth street,
as voted on and passed at the last meet
ing of the council
As stated in this mornings issue of
The Age-Herald, a meeting was called
at the city hall last evening by President
of the Council Lewis to see IL the men,
bers could not get together and frame
up site that would come near pleasing
everyone This it was found, after much
elaboration, was a task that could not
be accomplished and 1t is supposed that
every member left the meeting thinking
the same way he did when he entered 1t.
1t is not believed that the Mayor has
offered any recommendation of any sort
with regard to a new site, and as the
matter now stands the fight will have to
be fought over again, and 1t is believed
that there is absolutely no doubt of it
being a decidedly bitter one this time.
It is believed that the Mayor adopted
his position In the matter only after a
great deal of thought, and it is a we'll
known fact that he has had numerous
callers within the past few days, half OF
them telling him to leave the site as Sc
lected by the council and the others tell
ing him that they did not believe it was
such a good site. It Is just possible that
the location on Third avenue and Six
tenth street will again be taken up and
1t is a foregone conclusion that every one
that has any interest at all in the new
school will breathe a sigh of satisfaction
when the matter is finally settled.
Pipe Plant To Resume.
1t was announced this afternoon by
officials of the big pipe shops that the
plant would resume operations on next
Tuesday morning. 1t was also stated
that just at this time only two pits would
be worked, but 1t is believed that the
other two will be opened up within the
very near future. 1t will be recalled that
the shops were closed down little over
80 days ago, and at that time nothing
definite was given out as to when they
would resume operations. This statement
comes from an authoritative source, and
1t will no doubt be extremely good news
to the many men who have been thrown
out of employment on account of the
shut down.
The pipe shops have always done an
exceptionally large business. not only in
the immediate district, but all around the
outlying territory, and 1t is believed that
since they are about to resume opera
tions it will mean that they have at least
found out that there is quite a large
volume of business in sight.
Candidates Announced.
At last it is believed that all the can
didates have made their bow for public
favor. 1t is now understood that any
candidate who wishes to qulaify for the
primary will have to do so not later than
Monday evening next. The matter of
qualifying has been brought to the at
tention of the democratic executive COM
nlittee and 1t is believed that meeting
will be called on Monday evening, at
which time they will have to be all in.
This, of course, is not known to be fact,
hut the impression that such is the case
appears to prevail at the present time.
The following names are on the list
for offices, and it Is believed that this
evening will wind them up:
For Mayor-Walter L. Rush.
For Clerk-E. B. Stubbs.
For Chief of Police-T. B. Wallace and
Frank Childers.

and they will close this evening at 10
o'clock.
