SCHERMERHORN
IN CITY TODAY
MAN CALLED TO PRESIDENCY
OF DAKOTA WESLEYAN AR
RlVlIS FROM CHICAGO TO
LOOK OVER FIELD.

DIR. w. d. Schermerhorn, who has
been rendered the presidency of Da.
kota Wesleyan by the board of
trustees, arrived in Mitchell this al
ternoon to look over conditions here
and give his answer to the offer.
Dr. ,SGhet'perhorn was selected at
the sen,isanhnal meeting of the
board OF trustees last December af-
ter an extensive canvass OF candi-
dates had been made. He is now a
member of the Faculty of Garrett
Biblical institute. the theological
school OF Northwestern University at
Evanston, Ill.,
Following his ARRIVAL this alter
noon, DR.. Schermerforn was taken
to the. college for tour of inspec-
ton. He will be a guest this eve
ming OF the board OF trustees at dim
ner in the Widmann hotel, and will
then consider with the board the
offer which they have made him
Some uncertainty is felt as to
whether DR.. Schermerhorn will ac-
capt, as he now is said to have an en-
cellent position and his wife is not
IN the best OF health. yet the oppor-
tunities for strong work at Dakota
Wesleyan are particularly good at
present. Board members feel that ii
is quite possible that he will ac-
cept.

Manila, p. l. Correspondence of

A bill for the organization of six

CASSEM PERMIT
TO BE REVOKED
COUNCIL no REPEAL STREET
ACCORDING TO ACTION TAX
ZEN LAST EVENING.

unwlllingnesS to extend further
the time limit for the franchise of
the Mitchell Street & Interurban rail
way and the certainty that the permit
granted to o. e. Cassem and his asso-
ciates will be Immediately repealed
was expressed by the city council in
its regular monthly meeting last even
ing.
Under the terms of the franchise
the street car company was obligat-
ed to complete and have in opera
tion II blocks of its system on or be-
fore December /. Although the track
was laid, the car was not started and
no regular service, as provided in the
franchise, was given.
Questioned concerning this in the
last few days of November, Mr.. Gas
sem, who is head of the company
stated that the engine in the cal
which had been RECEIVED was faulty
and that it would be impossible tc
start work before spring. He asked
the council for an extension until
May /, 1917, and the matter was re
ferred to the city attorney, Roscoe
Satterlec.
Mr. Satterlee reported TO the coun-
Gil last evening that the city could
not legally extend the time granted
in the franchise. Acting upon this
tho council passed a resolution au-
thorizing the attorney to prepare a
notice informing Mr.. Cassem that it
was the intention of the council to
repeal the franchise.
An important move was taken in
regard to the rest room in the city
hall. The hall committee was given
authority to fix up the room and
make it a convenient resting place.
probable that matron will be hired
to look after the room.
The street and alley committee was
authorized to get estimates on the
cost of a building to house the city
machinery. The city engineer was in
structed to investigate and get prices
on electric and gas meter testing de-
vices.
The traffic ordinance was not con
sidered last evening. A meeting will
be held later in the week, when the
provisions will be considered sep
arately and the final action taken
The ordinance fixing the pay of po-
lice officers was read the second time
ana passed.
The assessments for grading and
crawling on East Fourth, East Third
and West Third avenues We're APP
proved. Those for grading and gravel
ing on kittredge and Gamble streets
between East First and East Seventh
avenues were ordered published.
The city ATTORNEY recommended
that the council made an adjustment
on the sewer assessment on South
Duff street, for the six lots opposite
the South Side hotel. These lots are
in natural waterway and are unfit
for building purposes. The pop corr
wagon was allowed to remain at the
corner of Main steet and West Second
avenue until May l. The matter was
adjusted between the proprietor and
the complaining parties.
