MAN IS
LET OUT By BOARD
rank RynearSOn Has Been i'm City
Employ For Eleven
Years.

Frank Rynearson. for II years chief
repair man and reputed 10 know
more regarding tI,e laid water pipes
OF the city water department than
any other man in South Bend, has
been fired" by the board Of public
works. Friends of Rynearson and
those in close touch with the admin
istratiOn assert that the dismissal OF
Rynearson is but another step by
Mayor Keller in building up and
strengthening his political machine.
Rynearson received word of his
dismissal from Supt TOyne last
Wednesday afternoon following the
watel works meeting in the morn
ing. 1t is understood that the board
told Toyne to discharge RynearsOn,
the dismissal to take effect March 1,
and no reason was given other than
that he was not wanted. RynearsOn
called on Pres't +. NJ. Morris Of the
works board for an explanation and
was told that he was considered re-
spOnsible for the incapacity of a
second hand motor truck which has
been used by him in carrying on his
work. Rynearson says that Morris
told him the condition Of the car
was due 10 his negligence, and for
this reason he was being dismissed
1t was stated by Rynearson that
the car was a second hand car
which was purchased by the water
works department at the beginning
OF the administration The car was
unable TO stand the loads ii was
compelled 70 carry, according to
Rynearson and therefore became in
ca pacitated.
According to those close to the
administration Rynearson was really
fired" TO make room for an admin
istration man. That the affair may
develop into a more complicated
matter was also predicted.
At the time the administration
went into office Supt Toyne began
the mapping Of South Bends water
system. II was Rynearson who sup
piled practically all tho Information
for the map, he being probably the
only man in the city who knew the
exact location of every valve and tap
in the system. The map is completed
and according to RynearsCn's friends
the board is through With him. II
is understood that Supt. TOyne had
nothing whatever to do with Rynear-
sons dismissal except the follow out
the orders Of the board in discharg-
ing him.
