physicians composing the board will
be Doctors Walker, Hope, H. c. Cum

The work of this board will be to
give a thorough examination to men
whom the local draft board examiner
finds to have physical defects. Men
found to have physical defects will
be sent here for a more complete ex-
animation than the county board can
give, to see if the defects are such
as to entitle the man to exemption
c'hims or to find if the defects can
be rectified by surgical or medical
treatment.
The county draft board is now ex-
amining the new registrants and is
about half through with the task,
The board will have plenty of mater
ial on which to work as soon as it
can get together and commence
work. The physicians in the city are
very busy on account Of the epidemic.
Gustav Vogel has been assigned to
duty as clerk for the board. He re-
Gently was called for service under
the draft and was given his first

Railroad Heads Tell Mayor
Haas Bids Exceed Snm
Appropriated
LOWEST OFFER is
TO BE ACCEPTED
Work Will Begin Within The
Near Future Is Belief OF
City Executive

Mayor H. H. Haas returned last
night from business trip to st. Lou
is and while there called on general
manager Kern and architect Stephens
of the Frisco.
Stephens informed the mayor that
Is bids had been submitted for the
contract to build the depot at Cape
Girardeau and that the lowest one
was several thousand dollars above
the $35 900 which the company had
appropriated for the building. The
high cost of material at this time
was the cause of the high bids it is
supposed.
Notwithstanding the fact that all
bids were above this amount the de-
pot will be built anyhow, the archi-
tect told the mayor. The contract
will be awarded to one OF the lowest
and best bidders and the company will
appropriate more money to cover the
increase over the $4,000 already ap-I
propriated. The contract will be let
right away, he was told, and the work
will begin soon.
The officials said that they had
spoken to the federal director and
they thought there would be no diff
Guilty in getting him to agree to allow
more money to be appropriated. He
had already agreed to allow the ap-
preparation of an additional $4,000
for concrete platform work and this
sum can be enlarged to cover the ad-
dition required for the depot.
