LOCAL LEGISLATION
With Barely a Quorum Present, the
Council Had a Strenuous
Evenings Work

Besides routine business at Tues
day nights council meeting, it was
ordered that the Stars proposition to
print the auditors report be ac-
cepted, and same will appear shortly.
Only three members were present,
President Nash and Alderman Nc
Iver and Winer. Messrs. McIver and

City Manager Johnston handed In
the following letter:
Gentlemen of the Council: Before
another regular meeting of your body
it will become necessary for you to
select city manager, as in accord
ance with your charter provisions. /
| beg to advise that | feel that I have
not received the cordial and undivided
cooperation of the counc.l in the ex-
ecution of the managerial duties de-
volving on this important Office of
your city government. There has
been an open and Indifferent manifes-
tation as to the outcome of results by
the council; opposition shown and
veiled hostility conducted by men in
charge of some of the departments
under my control, such that / have
been seriously handicapped in produc-
ing the most efficient results. | have
endeavored to overcome all of this,
by hewing straight to the line of
right conduct and management, plan
ming out the best methods to achieve
efficient and beneficial results for ths
best interests of the city.
! Therefore, unless there is to be
shown by the whole council a spirit
of cooperation and unity of action
with me for the ultimate success OF
this plan of commission government
shall not ask continuation in your
service as city manager after May
31st. Yours very truly,
J. N. Johnston
This letter brought on quite an ar
gument, but no action was taken ir
the matter. Mr.. Johnson's present
term expires June 1.
Alderman McIver in speaking o1
i city matters along the line suggested
1 by Mr.. Johnston's letter, said that q
manager was necessary in order tc
carry out the very essence of the
charter under which the city is now
operating, and that it was up to the
members to stand by him in his eff.
forts to thoroughly organize the va.
rious departments in order that the
greatest good might be secured tt
the taxpayers. He said that he haC
been elected to attend to the busines:
of the city, and if necessary he woulC
spend several hours each day or nigh
in an effort to attend to that duty
He cited that the city had an invest
ment of over a hundred Thousand
dollars in its light and water plan
and that each member of the council
should feel that he was custodian o.
! the property and use his every en-
deavor to make it a success. Mr.
McIver stated that this is no time

lagerial form of our city's govern
ment, for anyone to s1ay down" OF

Some of the latest are reported from

ITALY KEEPING
MONEY AT HOME

Rome, April S.-(By Mail.)-No
money can now be sent out of Italy
by means of bank drafts unless the
sender can prove the absolute necessi-
ty for so doing as by the presenting
of bills to be paid. This is particu-
larly true of large sums of money.
This is one of the measures taken by
the government to stabilize exchange
and prevent speculation in Itolian
money. Exchange rates are also fix
ed by law weekly, to prevent artific-
ial fluctuation.
According to Oscar T. Crosby, who
was recently here representing the
United States treasury department in
connection with efforts to assist TIA
ly's finances, the real difficulty of not
only Italy but also of England and
France is that they are in need of
American money to stabilize their ex-
change. "What they iced is dollars"
he said.
BY the plan of Minister of the
Treasury Nitt', SO far as cancerns the
Americans here no desire to send
money home forany reason, or to any
foreign country, they must fill out in
duplicate blank form provided by
the bank selling them drafts and on
this blank they must give the name of
the person to whom money is sent,
with the exact reason. Persons trav-
elling may buy the money of the coun-
try to whichthey are destined on pre-
sentation of passports or other pa
pers.

GRAPE MEN SHOULD
SPRAY FOR HOPPER

One of the most important factors
in spraying for control of the leaf
hopper is the proper time. The best
time is before any of the young have
reached the wing stage and after all
eggs have hatched If done at this
period, greater per cent of success
will be obtained.
1t is necessary to spray the under
sides .of the leaves. The spray will
not kill the hoppers that are not hit
and the results will depend on thor
oughness of application.
The best material recommend is
Black Leaf 40
Black Leaw 40........1 pint
Liquid soap. ....... Il gal.
Or. Hard soap ..........z lcS.
water .--Oo Se'iS'
If liquid soap can be procured 1t
obviates the necessity of heating. II
hard soap is used, cut in thin slices
and dissolve in hot water.
Be careful not to use too much
soap or the berries will be spotted.
Now is the time to give this your i'm
mediate attention for best results.
