CITY TO PAY FOR OVERTIME
Miss Alice Peyton VIII Receive $47.5O
for Extra Work in Primary.

Miss Alice Peyton, assistant deputy
city clerk, will receive $4T.50 for
ninety-five hours of overtime which
she put in during the registration of
voters before the last primary cleo
ton, the city commission decided this
morning The claim for Miss Pey-
toms overtime was presented to the
dered paid, in spite Of the fact that Il
did not carry the approval OF the city
auditor, c. G. Knowlton.
Knowlton declined, when the claim
was first presented, to o. k. IL, be-
cause he was of the opinion that Miss
Rnytou, being employed on the basis
OF a monthly salary. was not entitled
to draw overtime.
The commission overruled this
stand in the action which 1t took this
morning.

Thousands OF friends and admirers or

Union Jacks and bunting and cheered
the outgoing soldiers. Ex-service men
acting as honor guards escorted their
former comrades to the ships. The
greatest good will was evident on both
