CITY PURCHASING
AGENT PLAN UPHELD

That the proposed establishment of
a city purchasing agent in Salem and
the matter of bestowing salary for
the work, is according to the charter,
is the opinion of City Attorney Macy
in a statement made known at last
nights meeting of the council. Re-
peated rejection of bill creating the
bureau, to be handled by the city re-
corder, and providing a salary of $50
caused exponents of the measure to
determine its legality. Mayor Wilson
once vetoed the measure.
The bill passed 10 to three after an
amendment fixing the date of COM
mencing the salary from october to
January l, 1920, was made. 1t will go
into effect ten days after receiving
the mayors signature unless it fares
the same fate it has formerly in his
hands.

pies division, for teachers OF pupils
between the ages of IL and "a, and
administration Of the Sunday school,
for general officers. The closing per-
sod. from Q to s:30. is a general as
sembly in which demonstrations are
given OF music leadership, building a
worship program. the organized class,
use OF the sand table. object teaching,

Breathoscope Is
Latest; Boozers
Breath Sn1elIed

New York, Nov. 3.-Now comes the
"Breathoscope."
Chief Revenue Agent Harry w.
Mayer, in charge of prohibition en-
forcement in New York, introduced
the newest rum detector when he as
sembled his cohorts in school for
the enforcement Of prohibition" in the
customs house here today.
The "breathoscope" tests the breath
literally. Agents will be equipped
with the apparatus. If customers wob-
BILE when they come from near beer
doors, an agent promptly will clamp
on the "breathoscope". which looks
like a cross between a gas mask and
an automobile speedometer, and the
"breathoscope" will register the al
coholic content Of the victims ex-
halations.
Agents tried the apparatus out on
coal wagon driver who imbibed "sas-
safras tea" at a North River bar and
then dumped his coal in sewer man
hole. They said they found the "sas-
safras tea" was 36 per cent alcohol.

EXTRA POLICE ON CITY
FORCE CANNTT BE PAID
Continued from page one)

was soon raised again when Council
man Vandevort arose and moved the
council to elect the two new members
of the police force.
| Your motion Is out Of order, and
therefore is overruled," Mayor VIII.
son declared.
| In support of his statement, 1.-THE
mayor had City Attorney Macy's opin-
ion as to the legality of the action re-
read.
"Mr. Mayor" Councilman vanes-
wort thundered, 'T'm getting tired of
this political camouflage. Heretofore
we have had no trouble about police,
and it seems mighty strange to me that
we should have now.
Debate Grows Hot.
THAT has nothingto do with our ac-
tion now' Mayor Wilson retorted. "The
fact remains that we have not suffi-
cient funds to pay for more police
men,"
You said just a few minutes ago
that we had $4,000 yet" vandevort re-
piled.
You evidently have been misin-
formed Mayor Wilson pursued. "This
all is irrevelant-"
Il coatend that we are within our
rights Vandervort interruptedly hot
Ily
Mayor Wilson rose to his feet.
DO you want to make motion?'
Il have already, sir!" Vandervort
said.
Your motion is overruled!"
Nandervort Overruled.
| II appeal from the decision or s-,
chair" the councilman cried. A vote
fgave the mayor support by one, and
Nandervort resumed his chair.
William Hamilton, speaking for the
business men, asked that the city coun-
ell have the city attorney prepare an
opinion as to what steps are necessary
to gain more police.
IF the city needs more police"
Mayor Wilson said. "I am not against
Il it,"
"Will you go on record that you are
not opposed to more police?" Council
man Utter queried.
Il didn't say that" replied the ma
|yor II do believe that we should get
better quality in our policemen. how
everi"
Mayor Wants Better Men.
Because you don't like the police
men you are opposed to having them 2"
Vandervort shot back.
NO"
DO YOU favor larger force?" Ut
ter persisted.
II certainly favor better grade of
men"
"will you say you are opposed to
more men?" and Utter raped his
desk.
Mayor Wilson laughed and declined
to reply.
"I've talked this over with you. Mr.
Utter" he said. "and you know what
I think
Il have asked public statement"
Utter said, And you have refused to
answer"
I'VE will hear any new business
and Mayor Wilson brought the argu-
ment TO o close.

DELAY IN SECURING
ACTION ON PACT seen

Washington, Nov 4.-Indefinite de-
lay in getting action on the peact trea-
fy was seen today by some senators
while others were still hopeful Of a
vote at this session Of congress.
Senator Borah saw no hope Of final
action at this session. Senator Hitch
cock, administration leader, believes H.
nal action is possible by the middle Of
November Other administration SEN
ators take the same view.
Senator Lodge and republican lead.
ers will try to force an early vote on
their resolution of ratification, but In
case 1t is rejected they hope to prevent
adoption Of a substitute offered by
democratic senators.

"You say we are short funds" sar-

block debate on the issue.

GOOD ROADS BILL
PASSES LOWER HOUSE

The Saunders Good Road Bill, pro-
viding a half million dollar bond issue
for hard surfaced roads in Pasquotank
county has passed the Lower House and
is in the Senate where it will be favor
bly, reported and enacted this week.
Senator Ferebee is still inclined to
try to make some change in the Pas
quotank Highway Commission as nam
ed by your representative. The two
banks in Elizabeth City are very much
mission. Your Representative in nam
ing the commission did not have the
bank issue in mind; he had forgotten
for the moment that the bank issue is
injected into pretty much every ques-
ton in Elizabeth City. It's a pity these
two splendid institutions can't restrain
the spirit of petty jealousy. But they
