ON CITY POLICE FORCE

the benefits the public would derive
from same, this especially. in view of
the present financial condition of the
city. From an examination of the
plans and specifications submitted to
the board of education for the erec-
tion of the school in question, gym
nasium can be easily annexed and
built onto the school proper at such
future time as the city's finances
would justify and public necessity de-
mand."
Alderman Borowitz said that he be-
lieved the city would have something
like $4,000 coming from the state hich
would almost take care of the gym
nasium. Alderman Zielsdorf, opposing
its erection now, said that he felt it
was an extravaganza to pay the inter-
est on $4,000 or $1,000 for ten years
which would be somewhere near S5,-
500. He emphasized in his address
that his vote was not against the
schools.
The council finally concurred in the
majority report, Alderman Gaetzman,
Wiesner, Garske, Ringle, Leak, Boro-
witz, Morisette, Scholfield, Gearhart
and Gehring voting for it. The cost
of the new building will be $71,S36.19
and the board of education was au-
thorized to have work on the founda-
tion start Immediately.
The mayor told the council that a
meeting of the Wisconsin League of
municipalities was to be held in Octo-
ber. One of the questions the League
has asked is: "What has your city
done the past year that would interest
the convention?' ?'' The mayor asked
the council if it did not believe rep
resentative should go from Wausau
and also he asked what subjects of
particular interest they would like
brought up before the convention for
discussion.
Who Knows
There was a bit of argument first
as to whether representative should
be sent. Alderman BorowitZ declared
that it might be all right to attend
"if we were in office permanently. But
who knows who will be at the head
of our city government, who will be
the city dads after next spring? /,
therefore, cannot see the good of the
convention" Another alderman
brought up matters of the past He
declared that the chief of the fire de-

partment had been sent to a conven-
tion and that the poor commissioner
had also been sent but that no report
of the conventions they had attended,
had ever been presented to the city
council, Alderman Gaetzman said he
would wager the mayor would make a
report.
1t was voted that the mayor and a
member of the city council, appointed
by him, be authorized to attend the
convention of the League and that
their expenses be paid by the city.
Alderman Zielsdorf asked that a
very pertinent question be taken up
before the convention. What steps
are you taking to take care of our un-
employed? was what he asked the
mayor, and this question will be taken
up at the convention.
The vacancy in the Sixth ward was
filed when Harry Torzewski was
elected.
City Garage
George Morisette suggested the
building of city garage near the city
hall to accommodate the eight auto
mobiles of the city. This was referred
to the public property committee. 1t
was suggested that not only could
money be saved by the erection of a
garage to house city automobiles, but
gasoline tank could be erected and
money could be saved on gasoline, now
purchased at retail prices.
A nine foot boulevard on LaSalle
street south of Scott and on the west
side of the street was authorized.
Another question the council dis
cussed was the provision of double
platoons of firemen in the city. 1t is
suggested that instead of the four sta
tions now in operation, but two be
maintained. If this is done, no more
than the present number of firemen
need be employed and the city will
be complying with the state law,
which makes a double platoon system
necessary by January, 1922. If the
four stations are retained and the
double platoon system inaugurated, it
will mean the addition OF seventeen
men to the force and an added eXpen-
diture of $4,000. The matter will be
taken up later, following a mass meet
ing Of citizens at the city hall.

PRES. HARDING
WINS MISS DAMON
is LIKED IN WASHINGTON
SAYS WAR DEPT.
SECRETARY


How amiable and likable the presi-
dent of the United States is, has been
aptly described by Miss Ina Damon,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Damon
of Spencer, who has been visiting her
brother, Seth Damon, in this city, and
her parents at Spencer. Miss Damon
is connected with the war depart
ment at Washington, d. c., in Sec
retarial capacity and is here for
vacation of one month which ends
shortly.
Good Snapshot
The editor of The Pilot saw a per-
feet snapshot of President Harding
taken about the middle of summer
when Miss Damon and her chum, who
is an expert photographer, were out
walking in Washington. They unex-
pectediy saw the president, attired in
his frock coat and grey trousers, COM
ing toward them accompanied by his
physician, attired in military uniform
Miss Damon's friend set her kodak
and as the president spied her eff
fort, he shouted: II shall walk as
slowly as J. can so as to make it easy
for YOU"
This pleased the young ladies great
ly and Of course, they got a splendid
photograph of the president and his
physician. "Laddie Boy" the Airdale
presented by someone to the president
was the only aristocratic member of
the party. He turned his back and
the president told Miss Damon and her
friend: "The only thing | regret is
that Laddie Boy won't be in your pic
ture." So with the great mans aid,
Laddie Boy was induced to pose for
a photograph.
Subscribes Name
After the pictures had been taken
the president took the kodak and Of
tfered to iiiscribe his Aatsgraph on.
the films This was done, However,
when the negatives were developed
the girls were very much disappoint-
ed to find that the president had not
applied enough pressure and the auto
graph was indistinct. They then
mailed several prints to President
Harding, stating their regret and ask
ing If he would be kind enough to in
scribe them This he did, returning
them with his autograph.
Everybody in Washington likes
President Harding" Miss Damon has
told her Wausau friends. "EIe Isl
most agreeable to every person he
meets and when there was a conven-
ton of the Daughters of the Revolu-
tion recently, many of the girls there
enjoyed pleasant chats with him"
Miss Damon will be remembered in
Wausau for her association with the
Wausau Business Institute, when she
was in e. ID. Widmer's office.
