APPOINTMENTS
CONFIRMED
City Council Agrees With
the Mayor.
APPROVES ALL.
Council Insists Upon the Confir-
nation of the Board of
Education.

Last night Council confirmed all of
the appointments of Mayor Whitaker
without dissenting vote.
| Mr.. Hettinger's motion brought the
appointments upon the table.
| Mr.. ]. M. Laning moved to confirm
all of the appointments.
Mr.. Hettinger said that he thought
the appointments must be taken up
separately. The Mayor had two diff
ferent sets of appointments for Board
of Education and for different terms.
Mr.. ]. M. Laning said that Council
had nothing to do with Board of Edu-
cation appointments and that the
Mayor had simply notified Council of
his action as a matter of courtesy.
Mr.. Hettinger said that some of the
Council differ as to that matter. He
might be mistaken, but he did not
think he was, and insisted that Coun-
Gil should confirm all appointments
The Mayor has made a mistake in
sending the January appointments
because he did not know the terms
and Mr. Hettinger could not see how
the wrong appointments could be act
ed upon.
Mr. Lanings motion to confirm all
appointments was lost.
Mr.. Hettinger then moved Council
confirm the appointment of J. B. R.
Nixon as member of the Board Of
Health for year term. The appoint
ment was confirmed.
Mr.. Hettinger moved to confirm the
appointment of DeVoe Tomlinson as
Assessor for term of three years. The
appointment was confirmed
Mr.. J. M. Laning moved to confirm
the appointment of w. c. Lester Ell
birn as member of the City Park
Commission. The appointment was
confirmed.
Mr.. Hettinger then moved that the
five appointments of members of the
Board of Education as made in the
last letter of the Mayor be read
Mr.. J. M. Laning insisted that the
state school law provided the appoint
ments be made wholly by the Mayor
and that Council had nothing to do
with it.
Mr.. Hettinger still held that all ap-
pointments of the Mayor were to be
confirmed by Council under the pro-
visions of the charter, and the char
ter was state law.
Corporation Counsel Stanger haid
that he agreed with Mr.. Laning that
no confirmation was required, the ap-
pointments and the method of ap-
pointment being fixed by a law passed
subsequent to the charter act. The
school law, Mr.. Stanger said, was 81
lent as to any confirmation.
Mr. Hettinger insisted that it would
be better as a precedent, to confirm
and no harm could follow. Upon his
motion all five Of the appointees were
confirmed, majority of the members
voting.

COUNCIL TALKS

An Interesting Discussion
About Repairs.
OPINIONS DIFFER
Letter of President VIM. A, Logue
of the Park Commission Inter-
ests the City Council.

Last night the following letter was
presented and read to City Council by
City Clerk Jacob B. Jones:
January 5, 1915.
l Hon. John Evans,
President City Council,
"Bridgeton, N. j.,
My dear Sir
Through fear that the report OF
/! the Park Commission, which will be
presented to City Council this eve
| ming, may be ordered filed without
reading, l am for that reason adopt
ing this method of directing Councils
a tention to an important recommen-
dation therein.
The Report at page calls atten-
ton TO the condition of the deep
gates, and states that there is rea-
son to apprehend that the water may
! be working its way under the sheet
ing, and if that prove, upon exami-
nation by the removal of the sheeting
to be the case, the sheeting will have
to be repacked with clay underneath
before replaced" If, in fact, the wa
ter has forced its way for any con-
siderable distance under the gates
and sheeting, the situation should re-
ceive immediate attention.
THE report further recommends
the purchase of set of sheet steel
piling which will be available for i'm
mediate use in all emergencies. No
satisfactory examination can be made
of the deep gates to ascertain wheth-
er the water is working its way un-
der the sheeting without holding the
water back by Golfer dam. But the
examination should be made, and at
once
I'm connection with this whole
matter, I deem it of the first impor-
tance that the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works or the City Engineer should
make frequent examinations of all
the gates, and whenever he has rea-
son to believe that the city water sup
ply is in peril through any defective
condition of the gates, that he give
immediate notice to the Park Super
intendent or its Committee on Water
and Gates, that proper steps may be
taken at once to remedy any defect
found therein
TO meet the present emergency, 1
respectfully suggest that Council, in
accordance with the recommendation
of the Park Commission, order a suf-
ficient supply of sheet steel piling pur-
chased at once, and that the Commis-
sioner of Public Works and the City
Engineer. in conjunction with the
Park Commission, examine the deep
gates and make such repairs thereto
as they may find necessary"

President Park Commission

President Park Commission.
Mr. j. M. Laning at once moved that
the letter be received and that the
request therein be complied with.
Mr.. Esibill in seconding the motion
said that he had made a personal ex-
animation of the gates with Mr.. Het-
finger and he did not think they were
so bad as they were pictured. Under
the water line the construction was
good, while out of the water some of
the planking was dopy.
Mr.. j. NJ. Laning's reply was that
the city could not trife with such a
serious matter as the water supply
depended upon the head of water in
the lake.
Mr.. Hettinger said that with the
passage of Mr.. Laning's motion, the
City Council would have repair job
on its hands. He did not think Coun-
Gil had anything to do with it. The
City Park Commission had control of
| the property and it should do its own
work out of it's own appropriation. He
did not think Council or Councils
engineer should have anything to do
with the matter. The Park was in
charge Of the Park Commission which
does things he does not sanction, but
he did not feel Council had any au-
thority to govern the property or

" Engineer Gardner filed an appltca-
ton for change Of, venue in each OF
the criminal cases now pending IN
Hardin district court against him,
and the members of the board OF SUI
pervisors filed similar application in
he criminal case pending in this
county against them. These applica-
tons are all identical. The applica-
zion filed by the board Is as follows:
THE petitioners, George Heslop.
Charles Marks and N. L. Webster, re-
spectfully represent that they are the
defendants above named: that they
are accused in said Indictment In said
case only Of the offense Of doing an
act prohibited by statute q technical
violation of law, but the said indict-
ment Is the outcome Of wide aglta-
ton thIuout Hardin county, originated
by rumors, charges started and made
Y in various parts of said county, and
thereafter given wide circulation by
some of the newspapers OF the sald
county, and by contributions to news
papers published outside the county,
but having wide circulation in said
county. That while the charge In said
indictment is false, and While the ru-
mors and charges against the petition
ers are false nevertheless the said
rumors. charges and publications con-
tinuing for more than six months last
past, have SO poisoned the minds OF
the people Of said Hardin county
against these defendants. that 1t would
be manifestly impossible for them to
receive fair and impartial trial In
said Hardin county. Wherefore petit
TONERS pray that the place Of trial OF
said case be changed from Hardin
county to some other county in this
judicial district"
Change ls Granted.
This application is supported by the
affidavit OF the three defendants and
twenty-one citizens. Attached to the
application are copies Of great
many Of the articles from newspapers
especially complained of. The appli-
cation and exhibits attached in all
cover twenty-four pages of closely
typewriter matter.
The attorneys for the state made no
resistance to the application, but the
same was submitted without hear
ing and Judge Wright granted the
change, sending the three cases for
trial to Wright county. where the
Judge will open court Feb. 20 next.
when and where the cases will no
doubt be tried. ~
