CITY FATHERS 10 HOLD
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
Little Scramble for Positions Which
Commissioners Have to Dispose Of
at Meeting Thursday Night.

The city commissioners in annual.
session Thursday night of this week.
will elect number of school trustees
and the officers on the city pay roll
including secretary, four police
men, plumbing Inspector, business
manager, fireman and possible a
health officer.
The work of the past year will come
to close, thus necessitatfng the cleo
ton of officers. According to the
commissioners, there is no push and
jam of applicants for the positions
which are filled by the following:
Business manager, George w.
Justice.
Secretary, Howard Miller.
Policemen, ]. w. McCarson, chief !;
E. L. Thompson, T. C. williams, Otis
Powers.
Fireman, J. H. Clayton.
Plumbing Inspector, S. H. Johnston.
Six school trustees will be elected.
The board is composed of the, follow
ing: A. F. p. King, T. W. Valentine,
K. G. Morris, R. C. Clarke, S. J. JUS
t1ce, ] F. Brooks, c. E. Brooks, U. G.
Station.
While there is a sentiment among
the commissioners to elect one or
more women to serve on the board, it
is likely that this step will not be
taken this year, since sentiment for
the service of the women is not
strong enough to suggest the necessi-
ty of their appointment.
1t is understood that J. H. Jordan
will be an applicant for the position of
business manager, which has been
filled by Mr.. Justice since the estab-
lishment of this Office one year ago.
1t is reported that Mr.. Johnston will
also have opposition.

compound; but on investigating | was
convinced of its harm1essness and en-
ployed it in some dozen or more cases
with perfect satisfaction. A strange
thing occurred during my observa-

Hatch of the United States office here
commenced work yesterday surveying
the Mississippi river at Muscatine. \
survey of the depth of the river from

will take soundings from shore to
shore, and when the figures are COM
piled and the maps drawn the war de-
partment will be able to determine as

in front OF the city.
While taking the soundings data will
be gathered, which will show the feas-
