L. Alford, former president of the First National bank, as city recorder to succeed Elmer T. Fobs, first lieutenant of the Seventh company, created considerable sur prise around the city for two reasons. First, because only two weeks ago the council had voted to hold the of fice open for Lieutenant Fobs until he returned from the war, and had prac tically decMed to temporarily appoint some one to perform the duties dur ing his absence. And second, because Miss Mary Haswell, long a clerk In the recorder's office, was not given the appointment, as. it was generally expected she would be given the posi tion. ; The council's plan to retain the of fice for Mr. Foss by paving some one perform the duties during his ab sence, was frustrated by an opinion of State Attorney-General Brown, who held that the law forbids a person holding a military and elective civil position at the same time. Tho coun cil then acted on Mr. Fobs' resignation of two weeks ago, which was laid on the table then, anil accepted the resig nation. The council then proceeded to elect Mr. Alford to the office, and later passed a special ordinance, reducing the salary from $125 to $100 month. There seemed to be no doubt In the minds of councllmen today that Mr. Alford would accept the office, altho he had not given a formal decision up to this afternoon, as he had been an active candidate for the appointment. . The council voted to name a short street near the end of West Jackson, running east of Columbus and north to Clark. The thorofare was named Priddy street. Fire Chief Lawton Just before the council meeting ' adjourned again sought to have the council grant an Increase of pay to the city firemen of $5 a month,, making the salary $75 Mayor Gates promised to take the matter under consideration and report at the next meeting. reads it will know that he has a friend in this town. -Do your bit!
