ADVISERS D|SOWNED
BY THE MAYOR
JAMES M. RHOADES DECLARES
THAT HE is THROUGH WITH
COMMITTEE.

Sung " NC tie IIdSoI Vi NILS
soula; l won't be bothered any more
with that committee
Such was the declaration of Mayor
Rhoades made at The conclusion of a
stormy n fruitless council meeting
yesterday morning. The statement was
inspired by the councils long discus
sion of h committees report and by
an argument between the commission
ers as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of referring
the report of Health Officer Pease
back to the committee of 10. It was
made after the meeting and had no di-
rect bearing upon the city's affairs ex-
cept that it may indicate the future
policy of the mayor.
The councils session yesterday
morning was not very peaceful. When
he report of the health officer came
up for consideration Commissioner
Houston move that it be referred
back to the committee of 10. Com
missioner Price and Mayor Rhoades,
taking the stand that the matter had
already been considered by the com
mittee, voted to accept the report.
That was just about all that the
commissioners did. They decided to
call for bids for the shade trees that
are to be planted in south-side i'm
provement districts this summer and
ADJOURNED. The report that started
the committee controversy is as fol-
lows:
"Missoula, Mont. Feb. 10, 1918.
Honorable Mayor and City Council.
"Gentlemen:-I fully appreciate the
necessity of conducting the financial
HftAlTG of tho rlfy in nc i.
manner as possible; consequently dur
ing my tenure of office l have not
spent one dollar without getting full
value for he same, neither have I
asked for n expenditure without
flrst carefully considering whether
the same was necessary for the public
good.
During the time I have served as
health officer I do not think that
there is nyone who has been familiar
with the work of the health depart
ment who feels that the price paid
was more than adequate for the serv-
ices rendered.
Your committee of 10 which has
recommended that the services of the
sanitary inspector be dispensed with
did not give me an opportunity to
make any statement to them in re-
sard to the work required by the state
law and the health ordinance of the
city, and / feel hat if their recon-
mendation is carried out it will sim
ply mean that the functions of this
very important branch of the public
service will be greatly restricted.
During the time I have served as
health officer the work of the sani-
tary inspector has been lone at times
by the chief of the fire department
and the street commissioner, but as
they had other duties to perform the
time they had for sanitary work was
not sufficient for them to accomplish
very much.
From the first of April until the
flrst of November it will require from
four to six hours every day to see
that the alleys are kept clean. In ad-
dition to that work there are 81 res
t~aurants, seven bakeries, 10 diaries,
four confectionery stores, II meat
markets, "a grocery stores to be in
Spected at least once. and some of
them twice a month. From Septem-
Der, 1872, to February, 1918, the records
the following number of inspec-
tons have been made:

1T is a notable occasion
eolltGE and the university will
Blk HOAI celebrate it according
to ancient custom.
Charter day is not celebrated with the
ostentation that marks more frivolous
college holidays; it is observed in a

a program made traditional by Ions
years of observance. The address in
the morning and the inspection of
buildings and grounds in the after
noon are the principal features of the
program, for Charter day is primarily
intended as an occasion for the maxi

University of Montana invites the state
to see the machinery of education at
work IN order that the supporters of

It's needs and more thoroughly appre-
Clate its accomplishments. Students
are kept at work in all of the labora-
