City Clerk Perry Wheeler inaugurated
the promised reforms in the city clerks
office last night when he announced to
the council that henceforth he would en-
deavor TO conduct the affairs Of his Of
flee with the assistance OF two deputies
only. His announcement means a saving
Of 500 per month. which has heretofore
been paid by the city for two stenog.
raphers. The second reform made by the
new clerk Is In the interest OF the city
employees, who have been begging for a
monthly payday. Nearly a year ago
the city council ordered the clerks of
flee to issue pay warrants twice month.
The former clerk. with two deputies and
two stenographers, declared that the ad-
ditional work of issuing the warrants
would require additional help. The city
employees as result had to content them
selves with the monthly payday. Clerk
Wheeler, with his two deputies only
told the council last night that he would
begin 10 issue bi-monthly pay warrants
on May Is, The clerk also asked for and
received protectograph by which the
warrants Of the city would be protected
from reinsurance.
While Clerk Wheeler, with the con-
currence Of the mayor and the hearty
cooperation Of the council. was inau-
gurating economic reforms In the city ad-
mlnistrauon, City Treasurer John Glnn
came before the council with a request
that a stenographer be designated to do
the work OF his office The request was
worded in such wise as left a doubt
whether new stenographer waS needed
or whether the treasurer merely wished
TO have the council designate some GER
tain official to do the stenographic work
of the treasurer's office. Mayor Hector,
who had listened with evident surprise
to the petition OF the treasurer. pursad
up his mouth and emitted a whistle that
carried all over the room. Finance.
roared his honor, In dlsposlng OF the pc
utlon-and the whole council chamber
laughed aloud.

council to have the city buzz wagon re-
paired and placed at the use and disposal

Horatio s. Earle. Progressive can

love Horatio, but because they fear
that holding the bridge" against
Marx. and Thompson is too much OF
a chore.,
Mr.. Earle's plan is to split the
Democratic vote by securing the sup
port of Justice Jeffries. He has
written the defeated Democratic can
didate in the primaries a letter. the
exact form OF which neither Mr.
Earle nor Mr.. Jeffries Is giving out
