 ord as favoring the taking of all neces- sary precautions in the exercise of dil- igent care and are agreeable to the ex- penditure of any reasonable amount of money for the protection of the health of our citizens, we feel that better plan than standing appropriation would be to act in the future as the health conditions of the county require.
 Therefore, be it resolved That the portion of the said resolution fixing the salary of the health officer at $4000 per annum and fixing an appropriation to the health department of the county in- cluding said salary of said health offi- cer at sum not to exceed $15000 per annum be and the same is hereby re- scinded and held for naught and of no effect"
 LAW REQUIRES PAYMENT
 Chairman Dr. Parke, in speaking on the resolution adopted by the board of reve- nue, said: We should not feel alarmed at this action, as the law on the subject is quite plain, and it is evident that the board of revenue has been badly advised The law says that the board of revenue must pay the health officer from $3000 to $S600 per annum and if necessary the board of health is assured it can secure the necessary funds to guarantee Dr. Harrington his salary of $4000 per an- mum.
 we have taken great step forward tonight We have accepted the offer of the United States government to aid us in making Jefferson county clean and healthy. This man Harrington is an ex- pert chosen for us by Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the federal health service and we are only able to secure his ser vices through the good offices off Sena- tor Oscar w Underwood. We should be thankful that we are able to secure the services of Dr. Harrington and we have made no mistake in electing him.
 NEW OFFICERS ELECTED

PETIT
before
JURORS

F. III. Petit, commissioner of
public safety, and Sheriff Long
mire appeared as witnesses be-
fore the grand jury late Friday
morning to tell of their measures
to protect the city during the
strike disturbances.
The law and order" commit
tee, In its petition for the grand
jury, asked for an investigation
of the manner in which the city
had been policed during the
strike.
The fact that Petit was in the
grand jury room only a few min
utes was taken to indicate that
the Investigators had been salts
fled with the work of the police
in trying to prevent disorder.
Welcome Probe.
From the start Petit has well
coined an investigation of this
sort, asserting that the way the
police had handled the situation
needed no defense.
When the grand jury was first
called he was on hand to testify,
but sudden switch in the prose-
cutor's tactics postponed his ap-
pearance until today.
What motive was behind this
change of heart has not been
learned. There have been num-
erous charges that political rea-
sons were behind the whole in
vestigation, called at the request
of the Flaw and order" folks, and
recommended by the prosecuting
attorney.
More No True Bills.
The first witness Friday was

developments of Thursdays probe

nicipal service of NJ. j. McMillin,
gatetender.
MeMillin Gets Job Back.
It developed that McMillin had
been discharged partially because
he would not accept orders from
the superintendent's wife.
No evidence was introduced to
prove thatn McMillin had been
negligent, and the jury decided
that he should be reinstated.
Jurors were Neil Harrison,
contractor; f. o. Chezum, real es-
state dealer; F. III. Cushman, as
