FELTON,.

The FELTON, Public Schools opened
last Monday with the most satisfac-
torv conditions existing. There was
a considerable attendance Of pupils
from the rural districts, who had pre-
viOusly attended the schools under the
state aid laws, but there was not so
many new students from that source,
bv reason OF the examinations which
are now necessary to pass to test the
advanced conditions attained, before
they can enter the high schools at the
expense OF the state. The failure of
so many to pass the examinations has
clearly demonstrated that the rural
schools are not preparing the children
to enter the higher grades. Any of
the children can enter the town
schools by the parents paying the tu-
ition charged by the school they de-
sire to attend, until the pupil is ad-
vanced so he or she can pass the eX-
aminatiOns to enter the eighth grade
of a high school. The corps of teach
ers in the FELTON, schools is certainly
one of the best ever employed at the
schools i'm this town. The attendance
of the total enrolment was more than
usual

Water Works Trouble al
Bloomington Breaks Out
AfTeSh This Week.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug. 10
The Bloomington water works ques-
ton, which was supposed generally TO
have been settled at the meeting CT an
arbitration committee last week,
broke out in a fresh place this week,
when Mayor John G.. Harris gave to a
newspaper a statement declaring that
the ''gentleman's agreement" reached
at the meeting of the arbitration COM
mittee, had been broken, and made
the charge that the agitation against
the present city administration in con-
nection with the water works is caused
by a number of men who tried TO OBJ
tain control of the water works and
take it from the city.
Mayor Harris charges that the arbi-
tratiOn committee agreed that the city
administration was to have the public
service commission send its engineers
here and make a survey for the new
pipe line between Leonard's dam and
the old water works plant, and that
the chamber of commerce then went
ahead anC made the request of the
public service commission. The mayor
says that as far as he and the city
council are concerned, the pipe line
will not be built unless the public SER
vice commission deals directly with
the city administration.

OFFICIALS SQUABBLE
Seymour Engineer Declares That
Mayor Cannot Dust Him.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Aug. 19.-E. B.
Douglass. who has held the office of
civil engineer for almost eight years
has been asked by Mayor John A.
Ross to resign and surrender his
keys, but refuses to comply on the
ground that the power of dismissing
him rests solely with the city council
That the demands of the mayor might
be enforced, a paddock has been plac-
ed on the door of the engineers office
in the city building, so that he cannot
enter except when accompanied by a
policeman, in whose possession the
key was placed. Reasons for demand
ing the resignation were not made
public by the mayor. although il is
said he questions the ability of the
engineer to supervise certain work
now in progress.
Mayor Ross contends that he has
the power TO appoint the civil engi-
neer he also has the authority to dis
miss him as he sees fit. Douglass it
is reported, asserts there is no justifi-
able ground on which he can be dis
missed, and also declares that charges
must first be filed with the council
and a regular trial conducted. He
also says it requires a twO-thirdS vote
OF the council to dismiss him.
Douglass continues his work and
says he does not intend To quit until
the authority of the mayor is proved.
