DR.. y. O Bridgforth, city health
officer, informs Us that during trip
Of inspection few days ago, he found
thirteen homes that were convenient
to sewerage, that were in no way CON
nectei and who had surface closets.
These We're on the new Werage that
was laid about Two years ago in the
west part Of town. It's rather strange
that those who have no sewers are
clamoring for them, and would do
most anything TO get them, while
those who have the sewerage con-
venient, do not avail themselves Of
its benefits The health Of the city
demands that these people should put
in sewerage connections, and at once.

had inspected the drains, Slaughter

several places in bad condition, and
had notified owners and the school
board to put them in sanitary condi-

To the surprise OF the police de-
partment, Chief White yesterday
morning disrated his chief clerk,
Captain John O'Meara, and supplanted
him with Lieutenant Thomas A. At
Gibson, for two years head of the
record bureau at the hall of justice.

OMeara. who ranks as sergeant in
the department.. lost the captains
rank and will receive a sergeant's
pay of $3.50 a month

as Whites chief clerk in July, 1911
when White was supported by former

Chief Seymour.
Jack O'Meara has been Whites
right hand man for two years
O'Meara schooled White in police
duty. While no direct reason Is
given for the chief clerks removal
