.SQUABBLE OVER.
ASSESSOR IN
MT. RAINIER
Mayor Bovay and Council
DeadIocked Over Ambiguity
in Charter

MT. RAINIER, June 5.---Mayor
Kenneth Bovay and a majority of
the members of the town council
appear to be hopelessly deadlocked
on the appointment of an assessor
for the municipality due to the
ambiguity of the language of the
town charter concerning the tenure
of the assessors office.
Shortly after the election OF
Mayor Bovay, May 4, the report
was circulated that he intended
making q clean sweep Of town en-.
pioyes and replace them with his
ing of the council the mayor re-
moved Doctor Harry Nally as health
officer and succeeded In obtaining
the sanction OF the council to the
appointment Of Doctor Henry F. r.
Snyder in his place.
The charge Is now made that the
mayor prevailed upon one OF the
assessors, David Laing, to resign
and as result certain members OF
the council have resolved to pre-.
vent him from removing the other
assessor, Charles Reichelt, who has
filled the office for a number of
years. In order to fill vacancy
in the officelof assessor the mayors
appointment must be confirmed by
the council.
At the last meeting Of the council
the mayor named q successor to
Mr.. Reichelt, but Councilmen H. L.
Clayton, w. w. James and John
Weller stood firm against confirma-
ton and the deadlock resulted.
The important question is now/in
regard to the provision Of the town
charter regarding the tenure OF Of
flee.
In most municipal charters the
provision is made that employees Of
the township shall hold office until
a successor is qualified but Mt.
Rainier's charter has no such pro-
vision which means that at the
expiration of their terms the asses
sors step out and If no new ap-
pointment is made the town goes
without an assessor and the revenue
is therefore crippled.
1t is understood that Corporation
Counsel Arthur G. Keefer is OF the
opinion that notwithstanding the
absence OF q specific provision in
the charter the present assessors
hold over until their successors are
Just how the deadlock can be
broken is q puzzle. There Is some

AUSTRALIA LEFT OUT.

R.-Premier Bruce of Australia to-
day told Parliament that Australia
has not been asked to become a party
to the security pact proposed by Ger
many and that the government is
yet to determine whether Australia
will adhere TO the proposed agreement.

the French proposals are accepted. be-
cause the latter contain a recognf-
ton of the right OF the allies to con-
tinue a policy of sanctions.
Foreign Minister Stresemann's Die
Zeit, while observing several obscuri-
ties and contradictions in the French
note, says "the French have retired
from their original trenches by sew
eral stages" and urges continua.
ton of the negotiations.
Summarizing, it may be said that
in SO far as press comment reflects the
attitude of German political parties,
the Nationalists seem to be preparing
the way for their withdrawal from the
government II Chancellor Luther and
Foreign Minister Stresemann show a
disposition to go too far in trying to
conciliate the allies.
What President Won Hindenburg
would do in such an eventuality be-
comes a matter of much speculation.
