PAYROLL
RECEIVES AK
City Dads Retrench to Meet Ex-
listing Conditions-Loss of
Revenue Cause.
REVENUE LOSS NECESSl7ATES CUT
Monthly Payroll Reduced Six Hun
dred and Ten Dollars, Effec-
tive March lst.

Commencing March LIST, the monthly
payroll of the city was reduced $61O,
as follows:
City manager NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., .$175.O0
City clerk 1880
Engineer at light plant ............. 125.00
Fireman 9O.OO
The city council has been contem-
plating this change for some time but
owing to the fact that there has been
considerable extra work connected
with the collection Of taxes and as the
winter months are the heaviest in the
year at the light plant, the change
could not be brought about sooner.
The work formerly done by the city
manager and city clerk will be han
died by the city treasurer, who will
endeavor to handle the office work
alone; the work formerly done by the
engineer and fireman at the power
plant will be taken care of by increas-
| ing the duties of the remaining en-
ployees at the plant.
The garbage service has been dis
continued for the reason that it was
not self sustaining.
The necessity of this change was
brought about for the reason that the
revenue to the general fund will be
about $4,000 less this year than last
in the saloon licenses alone, the reve-
nue. of the light department for the
year 1918 was considerably less than
the expenditures, due to the decided
falling off of consumers, increased
cost of materials and labor, and nee
essary improvements at the plant.
The plant at the present time is in
first class condition and unless some
thing unforeseen occurs there will be
no improvements NECESSARY this yea-
and before the end of this year the
light rates will most likely be reduced
again.

the whole record. the entire facts sus-

produced no evidence that prose-
cuted these farmers; that had any
thing to do with their conviction, and
he has certainly failed to show, in
any way, that did anything wrong in

CANTRILL GETS
CALL; CHARGES
ARE EXPLODED
Morrow Shows C0ncluslyely He Did
Not Prosecute Tobacco Farmers,
Proving Falslty Of Demo.
cratic Statements.

The latter of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer, proudly and bolster
ously produced by Congressman Can
trill in an attempt to bolster up his
exploded charge that Edwin p. Nor
row prosecuted Grant county tobacco
farmers, contains no information that
Mr.. Morrow has not hitherto given
the public in formal statements
1t entirely fails to relieve Mr.. Can
trill of going before the people with
false and insupportable charges
against the Republican nominee. The
record of the United States district
court and the letter of Federal Judge
A. M. j. Cochran, previously made
public, shows conclusiyely that Mr..
Morrow had nothing whatever to do
with a prosecution which was com
pleted months before he took office.
Mr.. Palmer says that Morrow pro
tested" against the farmers being par
doned. The fact is that Mr.. Morrow,
after he took office, was asked by his
superiors for an expression Of opinion.
In his report he said that he saw
nothing in the record impeiling him
to recommend a pardon. Mr.. Morrow
explained this weeks before Mr. Can
trill solicited the aid of Mr.. Palmer in
an effort to save his face.
Reviews Facts In Case
Mr.. Morrow reviewed the facts in
the Grant county case In the follow
ing statement:
THE Hon. Campbell Contrib, thru
the columns of The Evening Post of
Saturday, attempts to escape from
statements and charges made by him
at Winchester and Paris, KY, and
which have heretofore been demon
strated as absolutely false.
"Mr Cantrill and Mr.. Rhea first
charged that / had secured an indict-
ment against various farmers Of Grant
county, and that l had prosecuted
these farmers in the United States
court and secured their conviction by
my plea to the jury. In a statement
issued from Winchester, KY, on Octo
Der 9, proved the utter falsity of
their statement by showing by the rec
ords of the United States district court
that l was not United States attorney
when the tobacco growers were in
dicted, tried or convicted. l also
showed by letter from Judge A. NJ.
