NEAITH ORDINANCE
CAUSES DEADLOCK

The proposed health ordinance for
the city of Pullman caused a deadlock
in the council Tuesday evening when
it came to the matter Of a salary
for the health officer Originally
the ordinance called for a salary of
$25 per month for the officer. This
clause was voted down on tie vote,
three to three. Roth, Cardiff and
Kruegel voting yes and Duthie, Ham
mOnd and Lawler registering a no"
The amount was cut to $40 per
month and again put to vote The
entire council Topped, the trio fav-
Oring the $25 salary voting no and
the three who voted against that
figure voting yes. Prospects for a
compromise were remote and the
ordinance will rest until the next
meeting, when the absent council
man, Ira n. Nye may be called upon
to decide the issue.

ASK FORECLOSURE OF PROPERTY

Foreclosure by the city on that prop
erty included in the Military hill dis
trict on which sewer assessments are
delinquent is asked by W. a. Moss,
the contractor, who claims that per-
sons TO whom he has sold the war
rants are holding him responsible
for their payment Several pieces
OF property are involved and the de
linquent payments have caused an
exhaustion Of the funds for that dis
trict which makes impossible the
taking up Of the warrants by the city.
The city clerk has been instructed
TO notify the owners of the delinquent
property and foreclosure proceedings
may be started unless payment is
made at once.

CARDIFF OUSTED BY
COLLEGE REGENTS
atom of Director of Experiment
station Offered to W. }. Spill
man of Washington, ID. {.

rho friction which has existed for
,,ora1 months between E. o. Hol-
,o,d president of the State College,
"a n, Ira d. Cardiff, director of
=, ovneriment station and head of
.ho department of botany, was set
.od last Sunday by the dismissal Of
mr. Cardiff by the board of regents
ar special meeting held in Spokane.
Tho nosition of director of the ex-
neriment station was offered by tele-
oranh to w. j. Spillman, head of the
bnreau of farm management of the
denartment of agriculture, at Wash
ington, D. c.
The meeting, which was held at
tbe Davenport hotel, was a protract-
Cd one. lasting from Saturday morn
inc until Sunday noon, with a short
iptermission Sunday morning. Both
President Holland and DR.. Cardiff
we're in attendance and presented
their sides of the controversy. \
large amount of documentary evil
dence was considered and the whole
matter was thoroughly threshed out.
In announcing the action of the re-
gents. VIM. NJ. Pease, president of
the board, declined to discuss the
evidence on which their decision was
based but said, In the past full CO.
operation has not been evidenced be-
tween the experiment station, the de-
partment of agriculture and the eX-
tension service of the college. To-
day is the time for full cooperation
and the highest efficiency in the
campaign for agricultural prepared
ness. There should also be full CO.
operation between the college and
the agricultural organizations of the
state.'
DR.. Cardiff gave out short state
ment in which he said, in part: The
real situation is that two men of diff
ferent ,temperaments, such as Dr..
Holland and myself found it diff
cult to get along together. 1t is not
fair to allow any other construction
TO be placed upon the facts. That
made it necessary for the board
either to dismiss the head of an in
stitution or the head of a department
and, quite logically, went out"
1t is understood that DR.. Cardiff
VIII retire about the 18th of May.
In the event that W. j. Spillman ac-
cepts the position but can not report
Tor duty before next fall, no sue
cessor to DR.. Cardiff will be appoint
ed during the interim. Prof. Spill
man served as head of the depart
ment OF agriculture of the State Col
iege during the early years of Presi-
dent Bryan's administration, but re-
signed in 1902 to accept position
> with the U. S. department of agri-
culture. He was a very popular and
efficient member OF the faculty and
MS good work is still remembered
IN all parts of the state.

PULLMAN MAN GETS
SEWER CONTRACT
Error i'm Figures, However, May
CompliCate Bid of W. A. Moss
Total of S32GO.lJ should
Have Been S3I1I.2O

The bid of w. A. Moss OF Pullman
for installing a new 15-inch sewer
outflow from State street to the sep
tic tank was accepted by the city
council Tuesday evening. An error
of $153.T5 in multiplication in the
Moss bid. however, may complicate
the situation The total amount OF
the Moss bid vase $3260.45 or
$196.25 lower than the other bid,
submitted by J. G.. Broad of Spokane
The motion which passed the coun-
ell was to accept the bid of W. A.
Moss at "a total figure of $3260.45."
The correction Of the error raises the
total bid to $3I1420 and whether
or not the council will be bound by
the corrected figures or can hold the
contractor to his own total is the
question that must be decided The
error occurred i'm the item for 1925
cubic yards of earth excavation. The
bid called for a price of 60 cents
per cubic yard and the total for this
item named in the bid was $46125,
which would be on the basis of As
cents per yard. At 90 cents per yard,
the total for earth excavation would
be $615, and it is believed by many
that Mr.. Moss can hold the c@lncil
to this figure. Even at the correct
total amount, however, the Moss bid
is $42.50 lower than that of the
Spokane man, which was $3456.70.
Following the reading of the bids
the mayor pro TEN was instructed
to name committee of three to go
over the offers with the city engi-
neer. The committee. which includ-
ed COuncilmen Kruegel, Roth and
Hammond, recommended the accept
ance of the Moss bid of $3260.45 and
the recommendation was adopted.
