Hermann, In I the capacity, of private attorney, re- proves Councilman Mullen in colloquy over near-beer dealers. In a spirited meeting, lasting fur two hours, the city council on Mop day night, after a rest of two weeks, transacted a large volume of import ant business. Chief among the ileum presented for consideration was the resignation of A. X. Orcutt as city re corder, because of the heavy increase In the duties of that office and lm In- ability to give them the time they ro-. quired. .Owing to the vital Import- ance to the city of certain work pend- I Free Value Twit IXyitsut, lug In the recorder's office mid the pwictlcal Impossibility of securing an other man who could familiarize him self with the work in the short time available, the council was loth to ac cept the resignation of Mr. Orctitt and laid it on the table with u voluntary proposition to liu-reaso his salary from $"0 to $100 a monih If he would serve out the remainder of his term, which ends next November. Mr. Orcutt promised to consider the offer. In his communication to the coun cil, Mr. Orcutt requested that his res ignation take effect July 1. He added: "I Hiring my six years iucumhen. y in otllce the work thereof has increas ed five-fold. At. the present time there are pending in my oflice no less thnu 40 distinct sewer and street Improve ment projects, whlih would require practically nil of my time for the next six mouths. I would suggest that my successor be one who will be able to devote all of his time to the office, and he should receive u salary com mensurate with the volume and re sponsibility of the work." Orcutt stated orally that his letter should not be construed as a bid for higher salary. "1 simply haven't the time to do the work," he snid. j "Mr. Orcutt's services are iudis-' pensable ut the present time' said j Councilman Micelll. "Upwnrds of j $100,000 In Bewer and street assess- meats aro Involved in proceedings pending In Ills office and he alone In familiar with the legal guidance of . those matters. To take in a new man now tor recorder woma mean nsus - ter. I, for one, would rather go down in my pocket than see the city lose his' services at the present time." "I think no one will dispute the fact that the recorder has long been underpaid," Mnyor Haynes stnted. "And I hnrdly think that nnyone cog nizant of the vast amount of work de volving upon him now would object to having the city pay him $100 month to continue in office until his term expires." ' Count-ilmau Josephson moved an increase in salary to $100 a month if the recorder would withdraw his rec- Ignation and this carried.

Councilman Mull. mi made a pointed speech on the eouvlc tiou in the circuit court here of three local soft drink dealers on Indict ments charging sales of real beer, lie declured the council "ought to make a showing or some kind" regarding those convictions. His attention was called to the fact that the ordinance governing the soft drink traffic do.'s not give the council the right to re voke u license for real beer selling. "lly bringing this matter before the council I'm merely doing what some of the temperance people of this city have asked me to do: that's no more than my duty," said Mullen. "Now, It's the duly of this council to do something. If we can't revoke the licenses of these convicted men we ought to get more than $tf0 a year from them if they are selling some thing stronger than neur-heer.
