Many sufferers from rheumatism
liavo been surprised nnd dollghtod
with tho prompt rellof afforded by
applying Chamberlain's Llntmont.
Not one caso of rheumatism In ton
of tho peoplo ns nearly ns posslblo
and ho would llko to comply with the
petition. How over, ho stated that ho
would llko to have a llttlo moro def
liiato Information to submit to tho
otors at tho special election, espe
cially about tho Clear Lake and Gold
en Kails projects.
Councilman Savage said that thorc
was an ordinance on tho tahlo pro
viding for tho special election and
ho was ready to act on It.
Mr. Allen wanted to know about
how soon the council could got things
In shnpo for tho special olectton. Ho
said that they had things In protty
good shape now so far as dealing
with tho present company Is concern
ed. Mayor Straw wanted to know nbout
tho special roport of Engineers Stan
nnrd and Raker. City Englncor Qld
loy said it was on fllo in tho oillco of
tho City Recordor. Mayor Straw
said ho didn't want It but ho thought
It would furnish tho Information
wanted by Councilman Allen about
tho Clear Lako and South Coos river
water suppllos. Mr. Allon said that
ho noticed that J. W. Rcnnett had
sent a tolcgram claiming that tho
Clonr Lako supply could not bo ob
tained by tho city. Savage remarked
that Donnott ovldontly wanted to
hoad off the Clear Lako supply bo
foro It got this far. Mr. Forguson
said that somo rcputnhlo citizens of
Marshflold snld that Clear Lako
could bo obtained nnd ho hollovod
that tholr words could bo credited
just as much ns nnd oven n little
moro in this lnstanco than Mr. Den
nett's. It was suggested that tho city at
torney bo instructed to look up tho
title to tho Clear Lako supply, but
Councilman Forguson said 'that ho
thought Mr. Goss hnd previously been
asked to do this. J. C. Kendall said
that ho did not bcllove Mr. Goss
had Investigated it very far, hut that
he understood that warren Reed had
first Hied on nnd Inter somo Marsh
lleld parties had fllod on it, accord
ing to tho records of tho state wator
commissioner. However, these tilings,
ho said, would not sottlo the ques
tion of ownership.
Tilt Over Date.
Councilman Copplo snld that whllo
he was In favor of n speclnl oloctlon,
ho was not In favor of bolng rushed
Into it by Nolnn before the council
or city wns ready for It. Ho said
thoro wcro othor questions that somo
wanted submitted and so far ns No
Inn's $160,000 proposition was con
cerned, ho was sure tho peoplo did
not wnnt to pay that prlco for it.
C. C. Going said that tho petition.
ors had provided for submitting tho
other questions In tholr petition. Mr.
Copplo said that ho noticed that but
he thought tho council should first
get roady for tho oloctlon nnd then
tlx tho dnto for it, especially when
City Attornoy Goss had told them
thoy could fix tho dato within throe
wooks or so of tho oloctlon.
Straw Gives Views.
Mnyor Straw hero broko Into tho
discussion nnd doclnrod tho council
hnd had ample tlmo to get roady
for tho oloctlon if thoy had used
diligence Ho said he had decided
that tho only way of gotting accurato
information was through engineers
nnd this had boon socurod.
Ho snld ho know tho servlco wns
rotten nnd ought to bo Improved. Ho
said that all othors of any Intelli
gence know it ana tno ones wno
did not novor would nnd that thoy
might Just ns well put it up to "thoso
IdlotB" to voto upon now ns nny oth
er time.
"Those Idiots might bo In tho ma
jority, doctor," romnrked Council
man Allon.
Strnw retorted thnt thoy nlwnys
woro.
"That's tho reason why you nro
mayor," Joshlngly romnrkod Coun
cllmnn Ferguson.
"Woll, In ordor to dccldo tho mnt-
ter, I movo you that tho oloctlon bo
hold tho first Monday In Juno," next
romarkod Councilman Copplo.
"What nro wo going to do about
Nolan's offer to soil to tho city nt
$1 GO, 000 which thoso petltlonors
hnvo asked to voto on?" Inquired
Mayor Straw. "Tho election will
hnvo to bo hold boforo May 1 to
grant their roquost."
Mayor Straw declarod that ho
wasn't talking for Mr. Nolan, nl
thought somo might claim that ho
wns, hut that ho wanted to give the
pooplo the right thoy uBkcd.
Mr. Copplo said that thoro woro
othor things to bo considered besides htm and told him thnt ho (tho mny-
Mr. Nolan. Thnt thoro were othor
questions which others might want to
submit.
Mayor Straw said that they ought
to havo had them in now If they did
and thnt If the council didn't hurry
up and do something they would
havo nn nwful tlmo trying to ex-
or) wns out of ordor in dollvorlng
his lectures and thnt ho hnd no
right to do so, that ho wasn't oven
it mombor of tho council nnd his
position wns merely to pdcsldo nnd
carry out tho wishes of the council.
Mnyor Strnw was called to tho
phono nnd did not respond nnd on
his return tho motion to call tno olor

Copplo declared that Nolan tried lion tho first Monday In Juno was put

election. For Instance, he snld the
peoplo might want to vote on the
building ordinance which the mayor
had Just vetoed.
This apparently rnlsod Mayor
Straw's Ire and ho wanted to know
If the petitioners for the election
weren't to bo considered Just ns
much ns the -17 members of the
"Mnrshlleld Independent League."
Ho wanted to know who Mr. Copple
reforred to ns tho people. Ho de
clared that ho did not think that
Mr. Copple was honest In the stand
he was taking. Ho said that he
thought tho people would reject No
lan's offor, thnt ho would not roc
ommond It or wouldn't buy the plant
nt Nolan's prlco, but as long ns tho
peoplo hnd petitioned to voto on it,
lie thought thoy should have their
wish.
Councilman Allen suggested that
tho election be fixed for April 22, but
this was found to bo less than tho
sixty-day limit on the ordinance
amendments.
Finally Councilman Ferguson sec
onded Mr. Copplo's motion thnt the
election bo held the first Monday In
Juno.
"There Is no reason in this and
no uso bolng a hypocrite," Interrupt
ed Mnyor Strnw. "Copplo, you and
I woro candidates for mayor in the
Inst oloctlon nnd tho wntor works
was nn lssuo in It. You declared
you wero for municipal ownershlpnnd
promised to try nnd remedy tho sit
uation. I didn't bcllevo In municipal
ownership but I told tho peoplo I
would try nnd bring this thing to n
voto Just nn soon nB posslblo. I
wnnt to keep my promise to them.
Thoro Is no use In your backing nnd
filling in this question. You enn't
mnko mo believe you nre honest tn
tho stand you aro now taking. That
stuff don't go." Moro followed along
tho samo lino punctuntod with somo
of tho mayor's expressions and finally
Councilman Allon Interrupted him
nnd dcclnred that ho should not get
personal In his remarks. Mayor
Straw said that ho didn't want to,
but seemed nB though ho hnd.
After ho hnd finished, Mr. Copplo
nroso nnd roplled, speaking especially
to visitors nt, the council mooting.'
Ho snld thnt ho occupied n very dis
agreeable place nnd that ho prob
ably had taken more than somo would
havo, but that ho had done so try
ing to Bcrvo tho peoplo. Ho said that
If ho had mado any mistakes, thoy
woro thoso of the hoad and not ot
tho heart. Ho said that his stand
now wns Just as It was in tho cam
paign, that ho favored municipal
ownership nnd wnntod to secure It f
posslblo. Ho snld ho wns In favor
of buying tho present system if it
could bo obtained nt a ronsonnblo
prlco but that liO was not In favor
of paying ? 10,000 or $30,000 bonus
for it. Ho snld that last fall ho had
declarod that if tho present plant
could not bo houit nt a reasonable
prlco ho was In, favor of trying, ta
forco tho company to 'lvd tip to?Hif

ELEGT1UG POWER
SA VES MONEY IN
VENTILATING SCHOOLS
For supplying fresh air to school buildings
theaters, public halls and stores, central station
electric power performs valuable work at small
cost.
Frederick .1. Sperry, Superintendent of Public
Schools at Mankato, Minnesota, made thorough
tests of the cos! of ventilation in the JMunkato
High School.
A 5-horsepower motor driving fans saved the
school board $1.0(5 a day, and increased the ven-
t Hating ef'icienci 21 per cent.
The cost of ventilating with steam power (in eon.
nection with the heating plant) was not less than
$!.'!() per day; the cost of central station current
was only 10 cents per day.
"This means," said Superintendent Sperry
"that at less than one-third the coal cost of run!
ning the engine we arc getting a very much better
service."
Superintendent Sperry will be glad to give any
school board the detailed result of his investiga
tion. The subject of ventilation is important. Wc will
send a representative to discuss the subject at
your request.
