PRESENT PIERRE
Poll EMPLOYEE
With TIMEPIECE

While the audience which packed
Polls theatre last night witnessed one
of the best bills that has ever been
presented on the local vaudeville
stage, every employe of the house
that could be spared from his or her
work gathered in Manager Matt Saun-
ders' office to witness a little drama,
the principal of which was Superin-
tendent Thomas A. Pierre, who left
today for Fort Slocum, New York,
and will proceed from there to the
front in France.
The last person to be summoned to
the big gathering in the little office
was Pierre. When he entered every
one ushered him toward Manager
Saunders who welcomed him to the
party in the name of every employe
| of Polls theatre and at the conclusion
of a speech in which he told of the
efficient and faithful work of Pierre
for the past three years and the host
of friends with which he had sur
rounded not alone himself but the
house, he presented the department
superintendent in the name of every
employee from call boy to manager,
with a presentation watch.
Pierre was taken completely by sur
prise and it was some moments before
he could murmur a few words of
thanks and appreciation of the
thoughtfulness displayed by his fell
low workers. Later getting a little
more confidence in himself, he said:
with every tick of this watch I will
endeavor to think no matter where
my duty may call me, of the three
happiest years of my life, working
among the finest lot of boys and girls
that it has ever been the good fortune
of anyone to meet"

CORNELL OPPOSES
PAYMENT OF BILL
TO BLUE RIBBON

Charging that the finance commit
tee and the Board of Contract and
Supply are inconsistent with the at
utude of the mayor, Alderman John
A. Cornell, Jr., opposed accepting the
finance committees report last night
questioning several amounts under
the Health Departments expendi-
lures that contracted bills with the
Blue Ribbon Garage Co. The alder
man opposed payment because he
could not learn definitely whether or
not waivers had been signed.
Cornell quoted a few lines from a
message from the mayor to the coun-
Gil seven years ago in which he said,
He was opposed to making any ex-
penditures above 5000 unless waivers
had been granted or by competitive
bidding"
Chairman Robert N. Blakeslee re-
fused to read the finance report at the
alderman's request, saying, Its a
mile long, we can't read it." There
were no printed copies of it and the
Republican aldermen voted to ap-
prove something they did not know
about.
Three bills, amounting to $2,51752,
were approved for payment to the
Blue Ribbon Garage Co. Alderman
Cornell quoted Times story, reveal
ing that more than $14,7 700 was paid
to that firm by the city last year.
Then the question of William E.
Seeley being a member of the Board
