Treasurer Richard y. Goode of the

document designed. to sever his rela-
lions with the organization with which
he has been prominently connected for

Thereby is said to hang the tale
Tired of Criticism.
Treasurer Goodies decision to resign
from the committee was brought about,
according to ruTuor, by criticism OF his
handling of the funds. Many members
of the committee, 1t is said, have made
free TO criticise the treasurer because
he deposited the funds of the commit
tee In the Main Street Bank instead
OF placing the money in the American
National Bank Why this criticism, "a
matter on its face so trivial no man
seems TO know, There are forty mem
bers OF the committee. Just how many
joined in this unpleasant criticism is
not known at this time. At any rate,
the remarks continued 10 reach Treas
urer G0ode ears, and flring OF them
and feeling that as treasurer Of the
body the prerogative OF the place Of
deposit of the funds was his. Mr.
Goode then transferred the funds and
sent in his resignation.
Mr.. Goode, who Is also n member of
the police board from Marshall ward,
has been treasurer of the committee
for a long time. He has handled all
the funds OF the city committee and
has always discharged his duties in a

Half Million
Fish Put in the
Local Streams.

On Monday of this week ship
ment of one-half million fish were
sent to Oakley in care of Senator
HaIght and through him distrib
uted in the Goose Creek above the
dam and in Cottonwood Greek.
1t has been the policy OF the
state for a number of years to
look after the stocking of streams
throughout the state with fish so
they will not become depleted.
Beside the sport afforded the food
supply from this source is an item
of value to many people.
Thousands OF fish were caught
IN our local streams this year, so
that restocking is necessary to
keep up the supply. When the
reservoir is filled there will be
large fish grown in the Goose
Creek, and it will also furnish
protection TO the fish in the win
ter, giving them deep water in
which to live.
