LOOKED. FOR JOKER
IN RESOLUTION
Quinn Says All Employees
win Be Asking For
Automobiles

II was n harmless resolution, Intro.
duced by Supervisor Dan Logan. call
ling for an insignificant change In the
Item of $4,000. approved in the appro..
priatlon bill for the repairs to school
buildings. but Supervisor Kane thought
he saw Joker" In II, pricked up his
ears and reared to action. His dra-
matte efforts were suddenly dampened
by Logan. who told him 10 quit talk
ing nonsense and sit down.
The $4,000 passed in the bill. provid-
ling $1,000 per month for the repairs to
city and county school buildings. Mr..
Logan called attention to the fact that
most all of the repair work had to be
done during the vacation months. and
that n change would have to be m ,de
by which more money per month would
be available. Therefore his resolution
read: that the item In the Approprl.
alton Bill for the six months ending
December 81, 1909, Maintenance OF
Schools $1,000 per month. $4,000 for six
months be amended by striking out
$1,000 and Inserting In lieu thereof not
pro rated"
Ayiett thought he smelled mystery
In that resolution and bubbled into &C.
ton. He did not believe II was a
good thing for Gere might spend most
OF that money In too big hurry. and
It wouldn't go around. Logan called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Gere
had told him there was enough money
to repair all OF the buildings needing
repairs, and some probably over.
Then Kane appeared before the foot
lights. 1T amt right, this resolution
long pause) for when the $4,000 was
passed, II was at the rate Of $1,000 a
month-and that is enough. What
does he want more for?"
Here Supervisor Logan lost his tenn
per. "For goodness sake don't talk
such nonsense. You don't know what
you are talking about. There Is only
$4,000 appropriated for six months, and
that's all that will be used, Sit down.
And Kane sat down. Supervisor
Ahea thought Gere was not looking al.
ter the work close enough. and wanted
lunas appointed to watch the men
working on each schoolhouse., Logan
said II was not necessary to pay out
lot of extra money uselessly. Mayor
Fern suggested that one man working
with others on a Job could act as luna.
Logan said this was the present plan
carried out. And so the resolution
