ASK CHANGES
IN APPONT|ElE|;S
Women Ask Commission to
Appoint Mrs. Sprague
Sanitary Officer.

- tH."ah =. IN u. H.-.L.4 80 n
The city commission yesterday aft
ernoon was asked to reinstate Mrs.
Agnes Rex as superintendent Of poor
relief and to appoint Mr. r. A.
sprague as city sanitary officer, the
position now held by Mrs. Rex. A,
consntttee of women, acting, as they
said, in behalf of newcomers Civic
Relief, made the request. Mrs. C.. E.
Brawner acted as spokesman for the
committee.
At the conclusion Of the commit
tees arguments, President O'Keefe
Informed them that their request
would be. given due consideration.
Inasmuch as the state law rrakes'it
impossible to remove an appointed
official except for cause, it appears
that the commission will be unable to
remove Mrs. Pierce from the office to
which she recently was appointed.
The law says that:
mo such officer shall be removed
except for cause; nor unless charges
are preferred against him and an OPP
portunity given him to be heard in
his Defense" ~,
The arguments advanced by the
committee Of women were:
That Mrs. Rex is thoroughly quail
fed for the office of superintendent
of poor relief and not qualified for
the position of sanitary officer; that
Mrs. Sprague is thoroughly qualified
for the Office of sanitary officer, her
work as food inspector .beingScited in
\ support of that c%ontention; and, last
ly. that Mrs. Sprague worked hard
and faithfully to bring about the cleo
ton OF Henry O'Keefe, Jr., and the
other members of his city to the city
commission.
Mrs-C. E. Brawner, acting as chair
man OF the committee, spoke first.
asking that Mrs. Rex be reappointed
to her former position, declaring that
position and had worked to the salts
faction Of all, and that Mrs. Sprague
be again appointed in the place where.
It vas claimed by the speaker, she
rightfully belonged, having grown up
with that position since its beginning
in Grand Forks.
Mrs. William Bulge spoke of the
petitions which were circulated for
Mrs. Sprague last winter, saying that
the number of signatures ecured in
spite Of the bad weather conditions
Mrs. w. F. Tueting said that she
wished to speak in behalf of the babies
of Grand Forks who are not able to
speak for themselves. Previous to
Mrs. Sprague's administration. Mrs.
Tueting claimed that the death rate
was one in five for children under one
and one-half years of age. but that a
few years later the death rate was
only one in 28. She declared that as
fed, it was necessary that an expert
enced oman such as she claimed
Mrs. Sprague to be, should be food
inspector.
