MORE INNOVATIONS
Mayor and City Council Planning New
Ways Of Handling City Business
Mayor to Handle No Money-clsrk
For Police Judge.

In its search for more efficient ways
of handling city business one distinct
iy new way Of handling part of the
city money has been devised. Here
after all money paid for city licenses
will be paid into the clerks office, and
not to the mayor.
This change Mayor Reilly has ar
ranged to put into effect In fact 1t
seems to be the idea that the collec-
ton of all money should be centralized
in the clerks office. Heretofore the
license fees have been paid to the
mayor Under the new arrangement
it is the plan to have all such money
pass thru the hands of only the clerk,
altho the mayor would continue to is
sue the license, as formerly.
On the suggestion of NJ. F. Cox,
state examiner Of municipal accounts,
clerk for Police Judge Johnson was
appointed by the council this forenoon.
The unsatisfactory method Of keeping
the record Of fines and costs of the
mayors court has led Mr. Cox to point
out to the council that there should be
kept an accurate and exact record Of
all such money. Acting on this sug
gestion the council appointed Miss
Ruth Brechtbill. clerk in the mayors
and clerks office as clerk of the po-
lice court. without additional salary.
City Solicitor Mote is preparing an
ordinance fixing the duties Of the po-
lice judge. 1t is quite probable that
the police judge will not hold court
until the ordinance is passed. In the
meantime whatever police cases de-
velop will be taken to the justices.

Because an error was found in the

At meeting of taxpayers and pat
rons of the proposed district. held
Tuesday night at Green Mountain, it
was decided that the most equitable ar
rangement that could be made would
be to eliminate district No. from the
proposed consolidation. Most of the
school population OF this district Is in
the southwest of the district, and much
of it within two miles of Marshalltown.
A half section extending to the south
which was overlooked in the original
draft, places that corner of the district
within half mile of the city limits of
Marshalltown. 1t was the sentiment of
the taxpayers that it would he bette

The new petition will call for an
