Oppose Removal of Mr.. Gender
Immediately after the reading Of the
minutes Of the board OF health at the
meeting of the city council, Alderman
Gosch asked Mayor Berwald what he
intended to do in the case o. Herman
Gender, assistant health officer The
power TO either retain or discharge
Mr.. Gender lies in the hands of the
mayor The executive said that as
vet he had made no decision, but in
timated that he intended TO discharge
Mr.. Gender This was strongly op-
posed by Alderman GOsch. Alderman
Moeller also took up the argument,
asking for the retention Of Mr.. Con
der. If | remember rightly Alder
man Moeller said, 1t was DR. Stocks,
CITY physician, who first advocated the
appointment OF a city food Inspector.
Ii is also DIT Stocks who wants Mr.
Gender removed, if 1 understand this
proposition correctly. July, August
and September are the three busiest
months in the year for the board OF
health. In my estimation 10 IS the
height Of fOolishness to even think of
disp0sing OF the services OF Mr.. Con
der at this time, and shifting the dU-
ties of two positions Oh the shoulders

elder sister of the popular young star
OF the Vitagraph company, Anita
Stewart.
She is, moreover, sister-in-law to
Thomas H. Ince, the famous Triangle
producer, and John Ince, known for
his direction of the films, for Lucille
Lee Stewart is none other than Mrs.
Ralph H. Ince in private life. Her
husband, having established Anita
firmly in the stellar armament of the
film world, now seems determined to
do the same for his wife.
