council K"t do. n to Lu.sines.s.
The old council, one by on', re
signed their io.siiionrt afier which
S. L. Kidder wan elected president
and took, the chair following the
reMO'iiulion of Maor Houck. Then
the couiu il elected Mayor Hoover
miio took over the position of chief
executive.
Thanks Old Council
After reslKiilnK his position a.s
mayor, Ir. Houck made a abort
talk, thankliiK the memberH of the
old council for their work while
in oifice.
"1 have never had the privilege
of working with a finer group of
meu," Dr. Houck declared. "Our
relations have been the most har
monious, and I have had the bet
of cooperation and support in ev
erythhiK undertaken. 1 cnly hope
that the new council will give the
same measure of support to the
new mayor."
There has been some question
residing the time for seating new
city otticers. Tlie charier provide;,
that the new oft leers shall be seat
ed the first Monday in November
following the election. That provis
ion was made when the city elec
tion was held In October. The old
couk II, however, felt that the new
oflicers siitMild ashume their duties
at tne same lime as tlie county
and stale oTficeis, and so eutao
Ilst.ed a precedent by resigning in
the manner provided by law anu
allowing their successors to be
voted into office under the charter
procedure, so that (here can be no
question raised regunMi.g the au
tnority of the present of. leers to
serve prior to November.
b alary Cuts Proposed

ine.vuar.e and proceeued to outline

fti'iit h( tin mii-iftiHMl ftiestflnu- r
the council last Friday that an i
agreement could not be reached I
oo that matter Immediately, so
Mayor Hoover of his own accord
recommended later action. He has
indicated, however, that at the end
of the 3u-day teriod he will recom
mend changed. .Many applicants tor
the city police officers have filed
petitions with the mayor and he
liierclore decided to delay action
tor 3U days, thus giving the present
otf.cers sufficient time to find
other employment.
Objection Raised
Councilman Kidder immediately
voiced an objection to the propos
ed change in the street depart
ment. "We have had a very efficient
street crew," Mr. Kidder said,
"and I cannot understand why a
change should be made. These men
have had experience with the work,
they are used to handling the ma
chinery, and we can place entire
confidence in them. I also believe
that it would be a mistake to re
duce their salaries. Certainly they
are not being paid too much. It is
naid enough for a man to live and
pupport a family on 910" a mouth
and 1 do nut believe the city can
expect efficient labor for less than
that amount. Another tiling, the
members of the Mreet committee
are held responsible for the street
work. Most of us are men who
cannot be leaving our stores every
lew minutes to go out und superin
tend the work i.nd It Is important
that we have men on the Job Who
understand how to go ahead and
on w bom respousi hi lity can be
placed."
'lf the new crew Is not as ef
ficient as the old one we can soon
make changes," Mayor Hoover de
clared. "I have had a hundred or
mote applications lor the jobs and
tne re are plenty of men willing lo
take the work at the salaries 1
nave suggested and if those 1 ae
polnt are i.ot efficient we .can
ipik-kly find other men to take
their places."
Councilman Dent protested
against a change in waees.
"A new man, even al smaller
wages, Is apt to cost us a good dt al
more than a man familiar with
the work," Mr. lent declared.
"The stie.'t department In equip
ped with some very valuable ma
chinery. It takes time to become
acquainted with these machines
and to handle them efficiently. It
wh cut ihn salaries down to a low ;
figure meu, v. ill take the Jobs only,
until they can find something bet-1
ler and we are rolng lo be con
stantly (.h inging civws and plac-i
inn Hii-t valualiie equipment iji the
h:indi of untrained men. Some lit
tle slip, due to inefficiency, can
easily coia us a lot more than we
will save by cutting the salaries."
".ou must understand," Mu.vor
Hoover iuslsie I, "that the city tin !
anted are strained, and the only
way we can economize Is to cut
expenses. We can find plenty ot
no n lo work al the salaiies 1 have
imni'-d."'
"You may be able to get nion to
work," Councilman Ktthh r argued.
"b;:t 1 doubt If you get the rtime
efficiency.'
(leorge Fr;vv, present street su-:
perlnU ndetit, waa asked if he
would consent to a salary cut, aim
he declared that be would not.
Mavor Hoover asked Frew If he
had not previously agreed that he
would accept a cut, and Mr. Frew
said that he had not. Mayor Hoov
er insisted th.it such a statement
had been made and Mr. Frew came
unci lly forwaid to tlie council
table clrillent'ing the mayor lu
produce proof tuat such a state
ment had been given.
. May(t Hoover Insisted upon or
der and Mr. Frew nmk his seal.
('uuiull;uan Shoemaker stated
that he would like to see the pres
ent crew maintained at the exist
ing salaries and made a motion
to that 'effect, was was promptly
ruled out of order by Mayor Hoov
er, who said that lhe council was
acting upon the appointments us
a whole n ml not npaiHlel.
A motion was then made ami
can led to consider each appoint
ment separately.
Appointment Rejected
Councilman Harris voiced hir
opinion that It Is all right to econ
omize, "but when you hire a ITS
man you get $75 service."
Councilman Shoemaker then
made a motion to reject the mp
lMiiutmeut of the street superin
tendent and a vote by acclamation
was taken. 'J' hero was no negative
vote cast. Mnvor Hoover then
called (or a record vote, which re
sulted In all of the coiuuilineu

Councilman Kidder then made a i
motion to apstnt the present
street commute al the existing
salaries. 1
"Yoj re out of order." Mayor '
Hoover declare!. 'You can't take
my appointive power away from
me. I have the right to appoint mp 1
uu can either ratify or reject, if
)e.i are not satisfied with my or
iginal api'oln'im m. Ill appoint l.ee .

The mayor endeavored to seeuiv,

would Introduce the motion, and
so It wa fiitailv a:rd to post
pone fuithrr action i.niil the next

geant out on the catwalk, but his
weig'y was too heavy in the un
stable condition of the Question
Mark. We knew then that the
flight was over. We dropped the
gas within two or three minutes
after we had taken It.
"That waa not the first flight
trouble. Saturday night we thought
it was all over. All three engines
lost their power. That was fouled j
sparkplugs. We were all ready to.
end the flight but ' finally we'
cleaned that up. Rut It was worse'
than spark' plug trouble this time.!
It looked like valves. Shortly1 after!
one o'clock the right motor began!
to weaken, then we knew the flight
was about to end."
"Our last two refuellngs were!
on two engines," said Captain
Kaker, "and we knew we were
through. The left engine had gone
dead. We were at an altitude of
4.000 feet but we dropped 2.500
feet on the turn. We signaled Hooe
to tret hack. On two engines we
couldn't keep our altitude, and Kt
ready to land. The right engine be
gun to show trouble similar to the
left and we found we were really,
depending on one online.
"Wo knew we were coming down
then. The ship began settling und
It was Just a question cf where we
would land. It settled 2,r'i fe t in
two and a half minutes. It takes
about an hour to regain that much.
We had no trouble in making the
field. Th second not jr i;h an d to

Ono Motor Exhausted
When the plane landed, the left
motor was silent. The right motor
was refunct toning, but a stream of
O'l spouted from U, and the center
neenengitn was able to make but l,;PMi
Mi.-s r revolutions per minute. Just ex-
Mark was taken to a hangar and)
locked up and un armed guard sta-1
tioned about It. .
Major Spate said: "We have)
found that mechanical conditions i
rather than the condition of man
is the only limiting factor in sua
tallied flight. The whole personnel
was in better condition this morn
lug (a few hours before the land
tng) than at any time during the:
flight. In tact, we have had seven i
da a of rest."
Medical Verdicts
The official medical examination,
of the fliers made a short time af

WATER CHANGfe CHECKS
FATAL FISH EPIDEMIC
Auocintr1 PreM laafd Wire)
NEW YORK. Jan. 8. A strange
malady that nearly wiped out the
entire collection of tropical fish in
New York's famous aiiuarium has
been checked by ccanging t he
water in which they live.
The disease, said C. M. Breeder,
research officer, first developed in
specimens brought from Key West
early In the spring. It soon spread
to other tropical fish and before it
was checked caused the death of
more than 400 fish. The disease
first attacked the eyes, rendering
the fish blind, and death followed
within a few days.
The inO.OoO gallons of pure sea
water in the tanks was replaced by
water from New York bay, which
Is less salty.
