The board of supervisors has recommendations
for raises in the pay of electric light employees. in
GLIDING considerable boost for the superintendent
The increasing cost of living doubtless justes the
raises, for not otherwise, we hope, would the board
contemplate hosting overhead expenses while still
in debt to the tune of many thousand dollars. Why
not raise salaries also in the fire department? The
men of the department. surely deserve the very
small Increase recommended by Chief Thurston.

Form Is Efficient And II Not,
Report Back Defects
OF The Same

The present form of city govern
ment Of Mt Vernon Is TO be given
the "once-over" by committee from

A meeting was held Friday night
at chamber of commerce headquar-
ters OF the committee named to inves-
tigate charter possibilities for Mt.

mittee to which was detailed the pre-
liminary part of the work, made its
report
This committee stated that It had
been the idea of the members thereof
that a complete survey should be
made of the present form of govern
ment to which efficiency tests would
be applied. The committee found
that the cost of bringing experts here
to make the survey would be enor-
nous.
Accordingly, it recommended that
the local committee secure sufficient
facts and figures about the present
form of government to pass upon the
same.
A motion was made, and adopted,
to the effect that subcommittee
take charge of general survey of the
organization of the present city gov
ernment, with instructions TO report
findings and recommendations with
reference to change in the present
form.
On this committee were named
Ralph c. Ringwalt, Charles X. Sails
bury and William l.. Robinson. The
committee expects to start in work
Immediately and report back as soon
as possible.

East Liverpool will be a very strong

are difficult to fathom or break up,

game was one of terrific guarding on
the part of both teams. Once Blair
slipped in close basket and once
Fess did the same. These were the
only shots of their kind in the con-
test, the remainder being long shots.
Mt Vernon teams have never been
coached to long shots. East Liver
pool is adept in this.
which Coach Fess pounded into his
quintet in the hallway leading to the
gymnasium just before the game
started. Result-three personal fouls
were committed in succession at one
stage of the game on the Mt. Vernon
captain.
Mt. Vernon can find some comfort
in this little fact Referee Dixon
called time out just before the first
half ended for an East Liverpool play
err announcing that there was min
ute and a half of the first half to play
and the score stood 13 to for East
Liverpool. From this point on-14
minutes of play-Mt. Vernon scored
10 points and East Liverpool 6.
East Liverpool, toward the end of
the game, tried some time-killing tao
tics. The ball was passed around in
a circle, but Mt. Vernon would not toll
crate this, smashing into the play
and shivering it to bits.
The middle court was used for the
Mt. Vernon-East Liverpool game. This
was by special permission, as the
teams had originally been assigned to
the north court, No. 1. The lighting
system of the middle court is far SUI
perior to that of the other two.
Mt. Vernon was rated as a strong
team of the tournament. A local man,
attending the tournament, heard Bu-
cyrus men discussing the teams.
They agreed that Mt. Vernon would
go into the finals.
Huron had one Of the very strong
teams at the tournament. It's men are
heavy, work speedily and seem adept
in the art of passing and shooting.
Another good squad is the Lorain
five which defeated New Philadelphia
Friday afternoon after the latter had
taken over Norwalk in the morning.
The New Philly team played out in
the afternoon struggle.
The remarkably large number of
Mt. Vernon people attending the game
Friday night is indeed a tribute to
the popularity of high school basket
ball in this city. The crowd num-
bered over so and many were forced
to drive through the snow-storm and
cold of Friday to witness the contest.
There is always a next year In Del
aware tournaments. Every single
member of this years high school
team will be back next year and great
things may be expected.

SEWARD MAN JUMPED
 OVERBOARD OFF DORA

VALDEZ.-Advices received at the marshal's office state that Ben Garrity, who was working his way south from Seward on the steamer Dora, became insane and jumped overheard from that vessel while in about latitude 5S north, longitude 142 west.
 Galrity boarded the vessel on June 27 at Seward to work his passage Southward. Three days later, at about 2:30 D. m., he suddenly became insane and jumped overheard. The alarm was at once given and the ship put about in an attempt to resue him, but he undoubtedly sank almost immediate ly, for no trace of him was found. The ship was bucking heavy sea and a strong easterly gale at the time, which somewhat hampered the quick movement of the vessel. After spend ing some time in the search for the unfortunate, the vessel proceeded on it's way to Seattle. Garrity was an American, about 35 years of age.
