Law, Filed BY Ap-
pOintee.
CONFERENCE is HELD
Of nine assistant road

Amendments Of nine assistant road
supervisors to work under Highway
Superintendent Sieweke, will be an
nounced Saturday, it was learned yes
terday after the county commission
ers had held a secret session with
Superintendent Sieweke.
Although he has the legal right to
make the appointments, Sieweke has
an understanding with the board of
commissioners by which their choice
of appointments for the jobs shall be
final
Sieweke said after the conference
with the commissioners yesterday
that he and the commissioners will
meet Saturday morning when the final
arrangements to announce the ap-
pointment will be made. However, he
is not compelled to make any appoint
ments until sixty days after the COM
missioners appoint him.
The law provides that there shall
not be more than four assistant high
way superintendents for every 100
miles of free gravel and macadam
road in the county and that the roads
be divided for supervision according
to the amount of travel and wear they
are subjected to.
Pay Of Assistants.

twenty-five cents an hour and fifteen
cents additional if they have team
and wagon in use on the roads.
1t is generally understood that while
Sieweke can make appointments, he
, will be entirely governed by the wish
es of the commissioners.
The new highway superintendent
filed his bond as required by state law,
in the sum Of $4,000. The road super
visor has very little jurisdiction over
the expenditure of money. however, as
he cannot make repairs exceeding $50
in cost.

Mr.. Gray said that there was more
progressive legislation passed in the
last six months than had been passed
by the Republicans in the last six
teen years.
The tariff bill and the currency
bill are the most progressive meas
ures ever passed by Congress" said
Mr.. Gray. The income tax also is a
progressive measure that required
Democratic control to make into law" "
He said the next legislation to re-
ceive the attention of Congress will
be an antitrust measure. This will
be taken up Immediately, according
to Mr.. Gray.

take this question under further con-
sideration.

Manager Kleinknecht of the light
plant advocated new luminous arc

preference to cluster lights for Main

twelve years which was beyond the

The board authorized the advertis-
ing for bids on 500 feet of hose for the
fire department. To assure the city of
getting the best quality of hose it was
advised that specifications on all stand
ard grades be secured from the Gin
cinnati testing bureau.
Incidentally the board adopted mo-
tion calling for the resignation of all
fremen together with their applica-
tions for reappointment. What men
