Had No Authority to Grant Ex-

CITY SOLICITOR so DECIDES

At tho meeting OF the members Of
the Board of Health this morning It
developed that that department over
stepped Its authority sometime ago
when 1t advised restaurants and hotels
that they would not have TO comply
with the provisions OF the ordinance
requiring all garbage to be drained
and wrapped In paper. This is the
opinion OF City Solicitor Reuben Sat
terthwaite. Jr., as submitted to the
members OF the board.
As a consequence OF this at the
next meeting OF the department the
exemptions granted. in all probability,
will be recalled and everyone In the
city. regardless OF whether II Is a ho-
tel, restaurant. cafe. eating house or

with the law. as il does not contain
any provisions for the exemption OF
anyone. The subject was discussed
briefly at todays session, but Il was
agreed to put the subject over until
the next meeting because all Of the
members We're not present today.
The subject came up when a letter
was read from an attorney asking that
his client, who has an eating house in
West Second street. he granted the
privilege of having the garbage there
collected in its we. state, the same
exemption as has been extended other
such places. 1t was agreed that one
place could not be exempt without
treating all the others the same way
and in view of the opinion that they
had no right to grant any exemptions
Il was thought the previous action
should be rescinded. by deviating In
any way from the new law, II was
pointed out, its real purpose would

pointment Of the teaching stafr in the
pubic schools for the next term, be-
ginning In September. Nothing defln-
ite can he done because nj the meeting
on Monday the question OF making the
appointments was deferred until the

chief topics for discussion this after
noon. II is possible. il was learned. Nr.
Coke may yet be included in the list
for reappointment, but this all depends
upon the developments this afternoon.
II was rumored today that one of
the reasons for the desire Of some that
Mr.. Coke not be returned as High
School principal was that he is al
legged TO have been disloyal. but 10
whom or in just what manner could
not be learned. II was further devel-
oped that this disloyalty allegation
was only minor phase OF the situa =

school system affecting his status In

much TO reveal in connection with the
subject which will create considerable
interest.
An effort was made to reach Mr.
Coke and ask him about the matter
but he could not be located.
AS for the teachers appointments
II is understood very few radical
changes have been or will be made in
the teaching staff that has served dur
Ing the past school year. Some teachers
are TO be dropped. but the majority are
to be reappointed. 1t was learned. AS

only very few have decided 10 make
any change.
