MRS. M'GRATH
TO GET Her PAY

Mrs. Mary McGrath, janitor of the
Council chambers who was dismissed
by the public building committee last
month but stayed on, will receive her
salary for this month. This was de-
cided at a meeting of that committee
last night. Four members of the five
including Chairman Bilderback ap-
proved her salary, the fifth member
refusing to sign the bill
Mr.. Biderback said today that the
woman had done her work and should
have the money. He said she was told
by Councilman Zimmerman to stay
on and he would pay her if Council
did not. Mr.. Bnderback said Mr.
Zimmerman told him he agreed 10
pay her for the four days interven-
ing between the first of the month
and the next meeting Of Council
when he thought the matter would be
adjusted. This, however was not
done and because of this mix-up, Mr.
Bilderback decided the city should
pay the woman for the entire months
work.
When asked If she must go at the
end of the month Mr.. Bilderback re
piled that she would. unless some
other arrangements we're made. H'
added however, that under present
conditions, she would not be retaine,
but If it was found that Bailin o
Council Riley needed assistance sh
would be given the preference, as b
had nothing against the woman, what
ever.

Of workers, those striving in behalf OF
the Homeopathic hospital deserve the
medal. They ara not the only ones
that deserve abundant eulogy. for Will
mington seems to be populated by a
people patriotic to the core, and their
interest in the big contest is progr sss-
ing at a rate which is surprising.
The vote last week came from just
exactly half the merchants. What
would 1t have been we're the thirty odd
in? Wsll, they will be In hand this
week and you are going TO see the
totals pile up to a point which will
indicate most clearly that the con-
test merchants have been doing the
business, and fair percentage of this
is due to the fact that there is a con
test on. The EVENING JOURNAL has
been for the past few weeks sending
its great paper with a new meaning;
even a journal so perfect in every do
tail can be made more attractive, more
