.HE|NDL ELEC TED
I 0 FILL VACANCY
Named by Water Committee as
Pump House Superintendent,
4 Succeeding Delaney.

Joseph Heindl, formerly an inspector
ron the new settling basin fiume, was
last night elected superintendent of
Pump Houses for the unexpired term
of Alexander Delaney, who died on
March 23, by the Council Committee on
Water.
"A vigorous contest for the place was
conducted. and the crowd of city en-
p;ayes and others at the City Hall was
larger than in many months, overflow
ing the committee room and adjoining
corridors.
Superintendent Davis reported the
death of Mr.. Delaney, after fourteen
years of highly efficient service, and
the committee adopted suitable resolu-
tions, presented by Chairman Mills.
When the committee decided to go into
the election of successor. the super
intendent stated that the duties re-
quired that the incumbent should be
a competent machinist, preferably a
mechanical engineer, with some knowl-
edge of electricity.
Alderman Hobson placed in nomina-
ton Henry NIander, the assistant under
Mr.. Delaney, who, he stated. had re-
fused TO be candidate against any
one else. but who had been in the SER
vice of the department for forty-four
years, and deserved promotion. James
j. Creamer, for fifteen years an en-
ploye of the Gas Department, was nom
mated by Mr.. Green, and applications,
with letters of Endorsement and quail
fications, were read from Mr. Heind!
and James Pamplin, engineer at the
City Hall. After some debate the name
OF Mr. Mander was withdrawn as he
refused to run against other candi-
dates, and was content to retain his
present position with the city, and the
roll was called, with the following
vote:
For Heindl-Messrs. Butler, Hobson'
Huber, Rennolds and Mills,
For Creamer-Messrs. Donahoe, Full
Ter. CARRIER and Green-4.
For Pamplin-Messrs. Bennett and

REYNOLDS WOULD
ADJUST ROLLS
Proposes Joint Committee to
Revise City Salary
List.
.-----------------
N oW MANY INEQUALITIES
Patron, However, Does Not
Favor Sweeping Retrenchment
or General Increase.
N oW MANY INEQUALITIES

Aldermen Rennolds and Councilman
Cutchins offered in the Council Com
mittee on Water last night resoln-
ton looking to general readjustment
of salaries and wages of city en-
ployes. AS Mr. Rennolds explained the
matter, it is not the intention to make
any sweeping retrenchment or any
wholesale increases, but to revise the
roll and provide, If possible, for uni
formity between the departments Tor
the same grade of work.
The resolution which was recon-
mended to the Council by the Commit
tee on Water proposes the appoint
ment of joint subcommittee from
each of the committees of the CITY
Council which have supervision of de-
partments or the employment of men
This will include the Committees on
Streets. Light, Water, Street Cleaning.
Grounds and Buildings and Gene
teries. The resolution suggests that
as far as possible the various chair
men appoint to the joint subcommittee
men familiar with the employment OF
men and the current rates of wages
prevalent In the city.
Helped by Fnvoritism.
In speaking on the resolution, MIR.
Rennolds explained that at present
there were several grades OF, COM
mon laborers employed by different
departments and receiving different
amounts. while there are still greater
discrepancies among the office forces
and skilled men in various branches.
In some cases men with influence or
who are popular with their committees
have secured large increases. while
other men doing similar work for
other departments have not been In
creased Mr. Rennolds asserted that
during the first two years he had
pay had jumped the annual pay roll
$4,000, imposing a great burden on
the city.
Many of the increases, he said, he
had no doubt were fully justified, and
there might be others even now whose
pay should be raised on account of the
volume and Importance of the work
being done. But he wanted some sys-
tematic action and at least an attempt
to Introduce some business methods
into the city service. II such a sub
committee could not agree on a scale
of wages for the various grades OF
labor used by the city. then it might
call in the advice of one or more out
side employers.
The adoption of the Rennolds-
Cutchins resolution followed an ex-
tended debate In the Water Committee
on a petition from the Office force Of
the department for an increase. II
was represented that the work had
greatly increased since the last raise
in 1907, and some members of the com
mittee thought that should be remedied
by larger force, not pay. The mat
ter was finally referred to a subcom-
mittee consisting of Messrs. Bennett,
Rennolds and Iuher

session may go in body to some med
ical college in the North. possibly
Philadelphia, to complete their course
and receive their degrees. Negotia-
tions are said to be under way to Sc
cure special rates for the entire stu
dent body except the present senior
class, which Will graduate next month,
to enter. on certificate, one of the
medical institutions of philadelphia.
1t has been represented that by keep
ing the classes together. and enroll
ing in a body, better rates may be Sc
cured than by the students scattering
to various institutions throughout the
country.
The fact that such negotiations arc
pending is generally taken to indi-
cate that the plan for union of the
medical colleges Is not progressing
satisfactorily, and fear is expressed
that 1t may not be effected this year.
The student body has recently been
informed that negotiations are stiil
under way. but that there is grave
danger OF a break. They were urged
to stand by their college and not to
make engagements to attend else
where.
In the event that conditions do not
Justify a reopening of the University
College next year, the students were
assured that the faculty would ar
range for them to complete their
courses at some other institution Of
at least equal grade and at no greater
cost. They were asked to walt, as the
institution could make deal for the
whole student body and SO secure bet

Just what is the hitch between the
two institutions is not known. II Is

Virginia to make the next move.
The question is understood to hanS

The Chickasaw Asphalt Company is
busy these days and although they
have been refining only about ten
days their business Is progressing at
such a rapid gait, the results are eX-
ceedingly gratifying TO the operators.
Out at the mine, located at Woodford,
they are mining about eight tons o.
asphalt q day all of which is shipped
into their refinery here and made into
paint. The asphalt is very fine in
quality running about twenty-five peI
cent before being refined and when
transformed into paint makes one Of
the best paints on the market
1t is put up in barrels and there is
q demand for all they can refine The
company is doing some extensive ad
yertising and is pushing the sale OF
their goods by the employment of
three statesmen who cover a large eX-
tent of territory and 1t is their pur
pose TO increase their capacity as
rapidly as the occasion requires giving
excellent promise of growing indus
try for Ardmore that will eventually
develop into a large enterprise.
At the mines about twenty hands
are employed and eight hands al the
refinery, SO II can be seen that as
labor factor this enterprise is already
no small affair.
II is such industries that develop a
city and as the natural resource lies
In unlimited abundance at our yeGy
doors all that Is required Is to make
the most OF them and Ardmore will
soon be known as an asphalt center
and as such will attract the attention
Of capitalists who will put their mon
ey into its development.
