"The plans have been made

"Since the total amount avail

learn the exact amount of money
that will be available.
"There are two phases of the

RESCIND TRANSFER

NocENcE SHOULD BE ES-
TABLISHED. MAYOR SAYS

TABLISHED. MAYOR SAYS
In the second consecutive ses-
sion on the Maloney case, the
City Commission this morning
repealed its recent transfer of the
position of billing and posting
clerk, which had placed the job
in the Department of Finance.
The action left the position un-
der the Department of Public
Services.
The Commission acted in &C
cordance with an opinion render
ed by Ignatius Lester. assistant
city attorney, to the effect that
Robert H. Dopp, Public Service
director, could not prefer charges
of inefficiency against Mrs. Ma
loney, holder of the position, un-
til she had again been placed in
MS department..
The action cleared the way
for filing OF charges against
Mrs. Maloney and hearing by
the Civil Service Board.
Dopp told reporters. that he
will submit specific charges
to the city manager. Eilingson
said he will then refer them
to fhs Civil Service Board. If
Oops charges are borne out
by their investigation. Mrs. Ma.
loneY will be dismissed. Of
ficisls said.
The Commission voted unani-
mously to rescind its transfer &C
ton although Commissioners AL
bert Cooper and Hunter Harden
questioned the need of it. Harden
said he didn't know the employee
but that he didn't approve of
shifting her back after having
once been transferred.
Cooper declared that IAN inves-
tigation will place both Dopp and
Mrs. Maloney in an embarrassing
position" 1.-THE city.would be bet
ter off if it is worked out in
spirit of arbitration. he added.
Mayor w. w. Demeritt, howev-
er, declared that Mrs. Maloney
should be given a chance to es-
tablish her innocence if possible.
This is getting to be a scandal.
From what l hear, both depart
ment heads Oopp and Charles
RobertS) are reluctant to have her
in their organizations. feel that
it is to the betterment of the en-
tire organization to have this in
vestigation. In justice to the girl,
this ought to be cleared up. She
should be given the chance to
clear her name, or if she is eStab-
lished as inefficient, the Civil
Service Board should take the
necessary action"
Commissioner Louis Carbonell.
who called the original inveSti-
cation, exclaimed. That's exact
ly the way I feel about it, Mr..
Mayor" and Commissioner John
Carbonell indicated assent in this
view.
During the discussion, Louis
Carbonell said he understood that
Dopp was dissatisfied with Mrs.
Maloney's services as accountant
and checker before he shifted her
to the billing and posting job, but
decided to give her another OPP
portunity. The mayor said there
was d difference between Sud
den inefficiency caused by some
physical condition or other cause.

we grope and stumble in the hate

broken down, only then can we
find true peace.
This is the peace of Lent. 1t com

Our God-given faith in Jesus and
