MATTERS OF INTEREST THAT HAPPEN
~ THE COURSE OF A WEEK


Al the end Of the fscal year for
The city council, in May. there will
be q vacancy in the Office of city au-
ditor, l.. L. Ness. the present incum-
bent, having notified Mayor Hitch
cock that he would not be a candi-
date for reappointment. The idea OF
Mr.. Ness In giving up the work at
this time is due to the fact that
there is too much work connected
with that position when his duties
as secretary of the Commercial Club
and the duties of secretary OF the
corr palace committee come togeth-
err. There is enough work in the
city auditors office alone to keep
one man busy, and with the duties
of the Commercial Club always de-
manding attention it came to the
point where something had to be neg
lected.
The band rehearsal last evening
was a fine encouragement to Direct
or Hunter in his efforts to build a
good musical organization for Nit
chell. With several OF the old must
clans out for practice and to become
''steadies" with the band the director
is getting the musicians deeply inter-
ested In the fact that he has got the
band coming along just about right,
and they are ap%preciative Of the fact
chat the director understands the
business thoroughly. The director is
entitled to encouragement from ev-
cry possible source to give Mitchell
a good band and the first time he
brings the organization out to play
on the street he will demonstrate
that he has been successful in getting
a good band together.
