MACKIE RESIGNED BECAUSE
COULDN'T AFFORD TO STAY

Building Inspector Geo. Mackie,
who resigned this week after four
years at the head of the building
inspection department, had the
unique distinction of being one of
the few city officials that has had
the moral courage to oppose Will
Ham H. Cowles In the performance
of his duty and still hold his job.
Mackie clashed with the interests
OF Cowles a number of times, and
after one of these encounters, in
which Cowles was forced to ex-
pend $4,000 in placing the Goble,
Pratt & Robbins building in line
with the city ordinances, Cowles
h said to have told Mackie that he
would remember him. Cowles made
4 number of attempts to get

Mackie's scalp, but the fearless
building inspector held on.
The rumor went abroad this
week, after Mackie had resigned,
that Cowles had finally succeeded
in landing his scalp, but this
Mackie says is not true. and that
his resignation was given because
he could not longer afford to hold
the office at the salary paid. Mr..
Mackie in the four years of his In
cubency of the office has inspect
ed between $8,000,000 and 100000
900 worth of the larger buildings,
and did this work alone, without
any assistance. He says the work
has so grown that one man can no
longer take care of 1t, and rather
than ask for help or an increase
in pay he gave up the Job.
