Mason City. May 3.-R. G. Moore
chief engineer of the Mason City mu-
nicipal water works plant, has been
removed from office by the present
city administration after serving in
that capacity for six and one-half
years.
Mr.. Moore says that he was served
with less than months notice OF
his discharge, altho he did draw his
pay until May 1. He has not worked
for ten days. He adds that the city
adopted a commission form or city
government during the time that he
has been working as its engineer and
that with the adoption Of civil serv-
ice in the water department he was
included in the list. No reasons have
been given to him, he claims, why
he lost his job, and ordinary proce-
dure to remove q man under civil
service was not followed, he asserts.
Friction between the present ad-
ministration and persons who worked
for the city under the administration
which went out Of office year ago,
Is said to be the underlying principle
in Moore's election, for he Is only
following in the footsteps Of others
who have Jared as he has.
Miss Minnie DIETRICH, welfare

so only after she had received the

PLAN TO PREVENT
WATER POLLUTION
Bancroft Co. to Pay rs Per Cent
Of Cost Of New Grit Chamber
in Sewer.

Harry l.. MAR, chief engineer of the
Street and Sewer Depart ment, last night,
explained to members Of City Council
the need for new grit chamber IN the
sewer that runs through the Bancroft
plant on the north side Of the Brandywine,
and how elimination of the contamination
of the city's drinking water would be ef-
fected largely through the action u Coin-
ell in giving ita informal approval. This
arrangement will be made between the
Street and Sewer Department and the
Joseph Bancroft h Sons Company for
the construction Of the new grit chamber
The chamber will be constructed with
three compartments and while one uf these
sections il cleaned, the others viii con
tiuue to function. This will eliminate the
necessity of closing the north sewer while
IL is being cleaned and diverfinp the water
to the south sewer. The pollution, IL was
explained WAS attributed to diverting
the water in this manner. II was further
explained hat approximately 90 per cent
of the waste gathering came from the
Bancroft mills
The total cost for the construction of
this new grit chamber will not exceed
Si2,50o and under the arrangements
which the Street and Sewer Department
will carry out, the Bancroft Company viii
pay $4,000 Of the total cost. To rebuild
the south sewer would cost 100000, II
was explained.
In view Of the fact that the Bancroft
Company was willing to bear nearly rs
per cent ri the cost n motion was made by
