lrritated When He Finds Off.
cials Absent From Desks
at 9 A. M,
HARDNESS MUST CEASE

All city officials must report for
work on time just the same as employees
Of business establishments.
Mayor Moore made this declaration
today when he discovered Mt q O'Clock
this morning that most Of his high e
saIaried officials were not at their desks.
An unusual occurrence led to the dis e
covcry Of the officials hardness. A
dead horse whIrh had been left on the
north plazc Of City Hail yesterday af.
ternoon was still there when the Mayor
arrived this morning.
To hasten the removal Of tho animal
the Mayor telephoncd to Offices Of the
director Of public safety. supcrintend
cnt Of police and those of various other
officials. but failed to get reply from
any. Assistant Superintendent Of 20
lice Tempest appeared to be the only
official on the job promptly. and he
made arrangements for removal Of the
horse.
Examination Of several ordinances 70 E
lating TO tho removal of dead animals
brought out the fact that two anti
cruelty organizations Of the city cacl
received appropriations Of $4,000 ycal
from the city for humane work. whilc
third organization got 5000.
Officials Of two of these organizations
said they wcrc only obliged to deal with
the troubles of goats and dogs, while
the representative of tho other said II
was only concerned with cats.
The Mayors indignation increased Of
learning this. He said he would have or
dinances dealing with the removal o.
animals amended to include horses.
1.-The placing of a dead horse on th'
Mayors door step said the Mayor
Indicates that other citizens must have
| had trouble in getting dead animals re
moved. There will be quick action t.
remedy this condition. Incidentally
the Mayor added. II will SOC that cit.
officials get on the job promptly at
O'Clock in the morning.
