City Council Again Finds Bar rier In Way of Exercising Leniency In Regulations. A proposal to make exceptions to a recently enacted ordinance was again the cause of much discussion In the Marshfleld city council last night. It was brought up by Con tractor Rust who has the contract for the plumbing of the new Chandler hotel. He took tho contract on tho specifications made by the architect before the Marshfleld plumbing or dinance was adopted and tho speci fications do not exactly comply with the ordinance. Ho said last evening i that the Inspection fees provided in the ordinance and the heavier mate rial required would mean about $400 additional expense for the plumbing of the hotel. He said that the work would be good, perfectly sanitary and all that but slightly lighter ma terial was called for In the ordinance specifications. Since tho contract was let before it was known that Marshfleld was going to have a plumbing ordinance, he thought it would bo only fair to make an ex ception of the hotel work. Councilman SacchI thought that If the plumbing ordinance Is a good one, It should bo complied with. The only fault that Mr. Rust had to find with It was that ho thought tho Inspection charges on large contracts was too high. The majority of tho councllmen thought an exception should be made of the hotel work because It was planned just before tho plumbing or dinance was drafted. It was thought to make tho exception by a resolu-f tlon but City Attorney Farrln declar ed that an ordinance could not be changed by rao'tlon. ' " Finally it was decided to refer tho matter to the health committee, Councllmen SacchI, Flanagan and Savage, with power to act. Turpen Is Inspector. 10 EXCEPTl TO ORDIIICE Mayor E. E.

The investigation into tho lynchlngsr. and mob rule Is fruitful. Tho best element is coming forward with in formation for the grand jury and residents of tho "Black Belt" district realizing that old conditions aro a thing of tho past, are making frantic efforts to preserve personal Interests.
