CITY GOVERNMENT
TURNS Down CIVIL
SERVICE BILL

The Augusta City Government In
joint session Friday night at City
Hall voted against the Civil Service
police bill now before the Legisla-
ture by a vote of 16 nays and two
yeas. The motion for yea and nay
vote was made by Alderman Stack
pole of Ward Eight.
Councilman Ing"aham of Ward
Two then asked that the stand of
the meeting should be registered
with regard to civil service as a
policy without regard to the parti-
cular bill under discussion as he felt
that while the present bill should
not pass, civil service in one form
or another would be a good thing.
At his request a bill was drawn up
by the city solicitor to get the senti-
ment of the meeting. This bill read
as follows: Resolved that the City
Council of Augusta hereby goes on
record as opposed to any civil ser
vice system applied to the police
department for the present time
This vas passed with but one dis
senting vote.

ing fund should be established to meet
that time.
Educational Expert the Speaker
The Rotary meeting of last evening
was very largely attended and most
interesting and worthwhile program
was carried out. Josiah w. Taylor.
State agent for secondary school edu-
cation, was the principal speaker OF
the evening and addressed the Rota-
rians on the Junior high school sys-
tenn as applicable to this city.
Mr.. Taylor traced the history of
the junior high school movement in
the American school system with par
ticular reference to its development
from the old preparatory schools ana
grade school arrangement. He told
his hearers that the high schools have
grown rapidly, doubling each decade.
1.-THE Junior high school is intended
as an attempt to education boys and
girls in the adolescent age. from IL to
IA years." said Mr.. Taylor. This
system will supply that need in edu-
cation, which the high schools never
can," he continued. THE high schools
were intended to prepare the students
for college and not for their life ca
reers."
Mr.. Taylor explained that the junior
high plan was new grouping of the
grades which would incorporate the
last two, or seventh and eighth or
the grammar school, and the first of
high school.
The new bylaws were adopted at
the meeting last evening in conform
ance with the articles of organization
of Rotary International. 1t was an
nounced that the next meeting OF the
club on Friday evening, March 6, will
be observed as Ladies Night. and
every member is expected to bring one
or more ladies as special guests.

AS the result of further investiga-
ton of the junior high school propo-
sition by the special committee of the
Augusta Rotary Club, which reported
favorably on the project at the meet
ing two weeks ago and recommended
the adoption Of the proposal and the
immediate construction of a new
building to cost with equipment
about $250,000. members Of the COM
mittee introduced a further report at
the meeting of the club Friday eve
ming which led to the permanent
tabling of the previous report.
On motion of Hon. Willis f. Swift,
chairman of the Rotary special COM
mittee, the organization endorsed the
junior high school plan. however, and
pledged its support to any plan which
may be worked out Ivy the citizens
and the duty constituted auehGEities
for the carrying out Of the project.
The action on the report at the
meeting last night. which was in sub
stance a reversal of the manifest SEN
timent Of the membership since the
presentation Of the favorable report
two weeks ago. was made necessary
when /. was found that because OF
constitutional limitations on the bor-
rowing capacity Of the city of Augusta
the program as outlined, which was
based on reputable dependable infor-
nation as to the method pursued by
the city of Waterville when that mu-
nicipality recently constructed jun
Tor high building. could not be adopt
ed by this city.
Speaking in extenuation Of the COM
mittees previous report and in ac-
cordance with the findings since Its
presentation at the Rotary meeting
two weeks ago, Charles l.. Andrews
suggested that the city will be in the
same financial circumstances when the
need for the new school becomes alb
solutely imperative sometime in the

had not rea he'd the object Of their
quest but th-t it was apparently on
the other de of the river. When
the superheterodyne was set UP OPP
posite the little park near t. 9 Ed
wards Manufacturing ComHany's
plant on the west side of the river
the strength of the signals gave evil
dence that they had neared the end
of their hunt.
Nothing more was done on We'd
pesday night but en- Thursday night
at $50 they were at the park again.
They founl that the static began at
$50 when the night shift went on
at the mill, and inquiry developed
that the night shift uses certain
machines which have not been in
use in the daytime. This led to the
assumption that the trouble must
be with ono Of those machines. Tests
which were conducted that hight. at
the mill, conferred the source of the
static to a group of ten machines but
further search could not be made
without stopping the machines.
With the permission of Charles r.
Chase. superintendent of the mill,
Mr.. Church, one of his employees, a
Mr.. Bfaisdell and Mr. Partridge, the
electrician of the mill, looked over
the machines Friday morning and
within Is minutes they had located
the exact cause OF the trouble.
There are in the mill, about $50
machines which use the raw cotton
lint In order to keep the lint I'M
der control it 10 necessary to have
an electrical system known as a
reutralizer to take care of the static
electricity which makes the cotton
unruly. This system is grounded %
that the static may drain OF. At one
place the neutralizer ran parallel to
a line of shafting and tests proved
that this shafting was generating
static electricity which was jump
ir e to the neutralizer and then dow
ing to the ground. AS 1t jumped
from the shafting to the neutralizer
the electric spark sent out an cleo
trical wave, and these were going
out with such frequency that they
were taking all of the joy out OF
ladioing. A wire run from the shaft
ing to q suitable ground quickly did
away with the annoyance and when
the radio fans tuned in last evening
they were surprised to discover that
the bother had ceased.
Those interested in radio who
have learned OF the fine work which
has been done by Mr.. Church and
Mr.. Meigs in locating this trouble
have been very grateful, realizing
the amount of work that they have
been obliged to do to straighten out
the difficulty.
