Resignation Is Surprise.
| The resignation of General Secre-

surprise to the large membership OF
the association and in church circles
generally. His plans were known only
to very few until he rendered his
formal resignation Wednesday night.
He leaves because he expects by so

Mrs. Wilson and children will go to
New Haven in the fall to live. AS soon

| State Secretary Parsons expressed
| the opinion of those who know Wilson
when he told the board Of directors
Wednesday night that Wilson was one
Of the most valuable secretaries in
Iowa and that he, as state secretary.
regretted Wilson's leaving the state as
much as he would any other secretary
| of Iowa.
Hero Seven Years.
| Mr.. Wilson has filed the Office of
secretary here longer than any other
secretary who preceded him. His
seventh year ends this fall. That his
services have been Of great value to
the association is evident by the prog.
ress and development the association
has made during his term Of office. He
was one Of the important factors in
bringing the association from the depot
district up town, in the building sub
scription campaign, and in carrying out
the building project. It was left to
him to personally handle and work out
many Of the details Of all these
projects.
It was partly because Of his interest
in the building movement that spread
over 6 series Of years before it was
finished that Mr.. Wilson refused Of
fers Of secretaryships in other cities.
It was with the sincerest Of regrets
that the board Of directors accepted
his resignation.

WANT A STORM SEWER
Eastsiders Adopt Resolutions Asking
City to Build 1t.

At meeting of taxpayers of the east
ern portion of the city, held at the
Methodist church at Seventh and Lime
streets, Friday night, resolutions were
adopted asking the city to build an
eight foot storm sewer to take care of
part of the surface water of that part
of the city. The proposed sewer is to
assist the Locust street Spillway con-
Meeting Biddle creek with Shungan-
unea creek. Those at the meeting
wished the city at large to pay for the
expense.
1.-The residents of the Eastsde can
secure the building of a storm sewer
in that part of the city and have the
city at large pay for the sewer on the
same terms as such things are done in
other parts of the city," said W. G..
Tandy.
''All that is necessary is for a major
ity Of the property owners to petition
fer street paving. Whenever street
Laving is built the city at large pays
for the necessary storm sewers, while
the property owners pay only for the
paving. This is what is being done
on Collt Pe avenue and it is what VIII
be done in the Eastside anytime the
people there are ready to bear their
part OF the expense"
The resolution asking for a storm
sewer was adopted after a report had
been made by L. Candy, in behalf of a
committee which audited the books of
the Eastside Drainage board. The
committee reported that the amounts
of money spent tailed with the sums
drawn from the county treasury. a
resolution was adopted requesting the
drainage board to spend no more mon

case have reached the oratory staga in

time next week.
At present the contention in indie
pendence concerns an order which
Judge F'lannelly recently issued, set
ting aside a rate order by the public
utilities commission. 1t is urged by
the commissions lawyers that since
Judge Flannelly's court is in Mont
mission is in Topeka, it is none of
the courts concern as to what orders
are issu ed. For that reason motions
to quaSh were filed. Then the law
yerS argued that the court had no
jurisdiction. Next week they propose
to argue a few more points.
The utilities commission allowed
rate of % cents a thousand feet for
gas, an increase in some instances of
3 cents d thousand feet. 1t was urged
by attorneys for the gas company re-
ceiverS that this increase was not suf-
ficient to enable the purchase of more
gas For that reason, they asked that
the commissions order be set aside.
The court issued a restraining order
which held in allegiance enforcement
of the commissions order. 1t is in an
effort to set aside the courts order
that attorneys for the commission are
now arguing the case from half
dozen angles.

the city has been equipped to make
tests, the products of all ice cream

bacterial count is expected IN ice

bacterial count of 10000 to the cubic

not too high for ice cream, and a

ably low.
