DISPUTE OVER CONTRACT
National Packing Company
Doesn't Want to Supply House
With Lard.
DISPUTE OVER CONTRACT

Miss Alice Johnson was displaced
from the position OF ms.ron at the
City Home by the Committee on Re
lief of the Poor Monday afternoon.
and Miss ida Ragby, previously en-
ployed at the home as nurse, Was
elected to ill the vacancy. The change
was due to the opinion of the COM
mittee members that Miss Bagby IS
more familiar with the details OF the
home than her predecessor.
Miss johnson was Installed In the
position by Supt. Cabell, when
Mrs. MacDougall resigned to marry.
At that time II was understood that
Miss Johnson's appointment was TO
be temporary. but nevertheless Miss
Johnson WAS a candidate for the per-
manent position.
When the committee prepared to
elect a matron Tuesday DIR. Gabeil
stated that Miss Baghy was not n
candidate. Councilman Jacob Umladf
questioned Miss Bagby and was In
formed that Or Cabell had told her
the position was not profitable. She
had been told, she said. that She
would be required to board nurses
and other persons, and that this
would cause her to lose money. Mr..
Umlauf assured her that such was
not the case, whereupon she consent
ed to be a. candidate and was elected.
Following the election the commit
tee inspected the home and were welf
pleased with conditions. They recon-
/ mended the purchase of another au-
/ tomobiie ambulance to cost $4,000, 1t
being explained that one such vehicle
can be operated at less cost, and more
! AdvantAEeously. than two onehorse
/ ambnianceG.
/ The committee received a surprise,
t and rather disagreeable one, In the
form Of communication from the
National Packing Company. inform
1 ing the members that the concern
wished to he released from its con-
/ tract to supply the home with lard
for three months, beginning Septem.
Der /. The company declared it had
not been properly notified as to the
! committees acceptance of its bid. The
committee members declared them
selves of the opinion that this claim
WAS erroneous, and notified their clerk
to inform the National Packing Com
pany that unless the contract was
fulfilled lard would be purchased in
the open market and the concern
would be held responsible for the
difference in price. Lard Is now
bringing much higher price than
| when the bids were received.

committee that Miss Margaret Ven.
