FINALLY
ACCEPTED
The Resignation Of Sanitary Officer
Innerarity Acted Upon
by Council.

The resignation of Mr.. A. H. Inner
arity as city sanitary officer was ac-
cepted by the city council last night.
No action was taken by the council
looking to the selection of successor
to Mr.. Innerarity to serve out his
unexpired term, but the matter will
probably be attended to tonight
Mr.. Innerarity rendered his resig-
nation to the council some time ago,
but no action was taken, the council
being DESTROYS that Mr.. Innerarity
should continue to serve. Ill-health
is given as the cause of
his resignation. He has made a most
excellent and faithful officer and there
is general regret in city hall circles
and among many citizens that he has
found it necessary to give up the posi-
ton.
