For Ordinance To Consolidate

Of 5 To 4
FINANCE COMMISSION
WOULD FIX SALARY

The question OF whether the office of
Ciiy Clerk viii he consolidated with
that of Treasurer and Collector. er
continuing the two offices separately.
as has been the case for wears, viii
wait, at least for awhile according
to action taken at the monthly meet
ing OF the City Council held last night.
On this point the Council adopted
an order offered by Mayor Levy cali
ing on Counsellor Rullman 10 draf.
an ordinance embracing provisions
for the proposed consolidation and re-
ferring TO the Finance Commission the
question Of fixing greater salary FOR
the combined Offices The vote on the
order was as follows Ayes. Mayer
Levy, Aldermen Taylor. Stevens. Rus
sell and Adams Nays. Counsellor
Rullman, Aldermen Smith. Parkinson
and Wells.
The suggestions of consolidating
these offices has been made on several
occasions in recent years. but il has
come more particularly to the front
since the late illness ARA subsequent
death OF Frank r Smith, wd0 filled
The position of City Clerk 4 little more
than year From the time Of Mr..
Smiths Interpretation for duty Treas
urer and Collector George F. Quaid
has been performing the double duty.
As the situation now stands, Treas
urer Quaid will continue 10 assay the
double role, until the next monthly
meeting of the Council in April, or il
may be that, if the proposed ordinance
is prepared at once, then the Council
could be called in special session to
finally settle the question.
In the meantime, only one applica-
ton for election TO the Office OF City
Clerk has been filed with the Council.
Ii is that of Captain John r. Kaiser
an Annapolis soldier who saw active
service overseas during the world
war Captain kaiser's letter Of appli-
cation was read before the Council
last night, and placed on file.
Names of several other persons
have been mentioned for the vacant
clerkship, but apparently none OF
these has given the matter serious
consideration.

STATE SCHOOL MERGER
NOW SEEMS PROBABLE
Plan To Consolidate University
Of Maryland And State Col
lege Further Discussed
ST. JOHNS IS DRIFTING

More talk Of the proposed merger of
the University of Maryland with Mary
land State College indicates that the
merger Is becoming a possibility. and
that at the same time the chances that
st. johns College will lose the Depart
ment Of Arts and Sciences of the Uni.
versity, is becoming greater daily.
Because OF the lack of funds the Uni.
versity found necessary merger with
some institution that could support
the department of medicine. which is
the course in most need OF financial
aid. When Johns Hopkins declined to
accept the law course now given, the
University then proposed that State
College take over all Of its depart
ments, including that of Law, which,
though self.supporting, was Willing TO
go along in the deal for preservation
Of the medical school. as also are the
Departments of Dentistry and Phar-
macy
BY this means il is expected to pro-
vide definitely for the future of the
university and particularly of the
Medical schol. as well as widening the
scope of State College by bringing
other departments Of education under
the direction of its trustees. The plan
for the merger is considered to be a
good thing for both the University and
Maryland State.
A meeting of regents of the Univer
sity was held during the past week, and
the plan for merging the two institu
tions was given their approval. As yet
it is not known how the plan will be
passed by the State College authori-
ties, though it is generally understood
that they look with favor upon the
proposition.

gine is not expected to arrive before

Industrial Commission Asks for Stats
tics Regarding the Payrolls of
Kenosha Industries.

The State Industrial Commission in
a letter to Secretary Conrad Shearel
of the Kenosha Manufacturers Assoc
ci zion requested today that statistics
be furnished regarding the payrolls
and employment situation in the Keno
sha factories These statistics are tc
be used by the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics in the compilation
of tables used by the Monthly Labor
Review 1t is believed that the in
formation gained by these statistics
will be Of value to Kenosha manu-
facturers and report of it will be
furnished to each one who helps in the
work. The proposition will be discuss
ed at the regular meeting of the Man
ufacturers' Association to be held
Thursday evening at the Elks Club.
Many Wisconsin manufacturers have
already agreed to cooperate in the
movement and it is believed that the
Kenosha factories will be willing to
open their books to the statistician in
order that the conditions here may be
reflected in the report.
