pected to Clear Outlook as to
County Improvements.

The fight in the City Hall between
Captain T. J. Donaldson. County Su-
perintendent of Construction, and

tant political developments.

Avenue and Butler Street sewer.
Councilman Thomson had intimated
in an interview that Captain Donald
son was not following instructions Of
the County Commission.
Citizens in various sections Of the
city and county are worried over de-
lays in improvements, and they hope

county politics, that they may know
what TO expect

planning. when Captain Donaldson

left side Of the cheek, knocking OF
his glasses and SCATTERING them
against the marble floor.
Councilman Thomson countered
with forceful blow to the face Then
he grabbed the arms of Captain DON

1t was but a matter Of a second
before County Commissioner s. B.
thurman and others wrenched them
apart. Mayor Woodward and large
number of officials and citizens were
witnesses to the affair.

terview with him virtually was cor
rect. but that Captain Donaldson had

The general impression among Leg
islators is that both President Ander-
son and Speaker BurweH acquitted
themselves very well in the distribu-
ton Of the committee assignments in
the Senate and the House.
The matter Of appointing commit
tees In the Senate and House not only
Is a problem Of perplexing ramifca-
tons but takes much Of the time and
most astute analytical ability Of the
presiding officers in getting things ad-
justed.
Both the President and the Speaker
broke all records In getting their
committees framed up and published
within a week. The rule heretofore
has been ten DAYS or more.
There are some members Of the
Senate who are dissatisfied with the
committee assignments, however. and
particularly is this so among tne
advocates Of many Of the various new
counties proposed.
II Is pointed out by some Of these
persons that. while the House Com
mittee on Constitutional Amendments
is composed OF members VINO have
taker no stand one way OF the other
In the creation Of new counties. the
Sena.e committee has on IT several
members who are openly against the
creation Of any new counties.
wee Chairman Burtz, for instance,
OF the Senate committee IL openly
opposing new counties.
The Constitutional Amendment
Committees viii settle the fate Of the
new counties. and It, therefore, may
readily be seen how this dlssatIs-
faction arises
= is evident that the present Legis-
laIure Is to be on Of thoroughly
businesslike qualities.

very well.
He says he is not down here try

duty to look in on the Legislature
