ALL OF REUTERDAHL,S
ARE "GETTING THE AK

Slowly but surely Is the force
of men collected by the former
water commissioner, A. Reuter-
dahl, for the rehabilitation of the
water department, being dismiss
ed from office.
The latest victim of the official
AK is E. Potter Hall, secretary in
the water office, who was released
today and is no longer on the city
payroll. Halls offense was that
he went up into Kenwood and Lid
gerwood last July and told the
people to be patient. that every
thing was being done to get
water and If plans did not miscar.
ry water would be had for next
year. Hall was charged with in
citing the people OF the north hill
to rebellion against the administra-
tion later. when the water exten
sions were tied up in the execu-
tive department of the city gov
eminent, and the loss of his OF.

CASE
THURSDAY

A test case Of the right of po-
lice officer to arrest a man for dis
orderly conduct for merely saying
a few words on the street will be
fought out Thursday in the supe-
rior court in the case of Joe Dud-
/ dy, one of the |. w. WIS in Jail.
A writ of habeas corpus has
been issued in the case of buddy
and was served before the sheriffs
office raised any question about
fees.
The effort of the sheriff's office
to collect fees for serving habeas
corpus papers in cases arising out
of city ordinances is parallel to
the case of the 200 or more saloon
men arrested about two years ago
Habeas corpus papers We're issued
then in AZ cases and the sheriff
sent the attorneys for the plain
tiffs bill for the costs. The bill
was never paid and no further eff
fort has been made to collect it.
The two cases are parallel In
