SNIDER & ROTZ
MAY BE REHIRED
TO AID BOARD
Agreement Reached With
School Commissioners—Now
Up to the Attorney.
Providing? Frederick E. Matson, attorney
tor tL* Indianapolis Board of School Com*
inisßionera. approves. the firm of Snider ft
Eot* will be re-employed as supervising
engineers in the construction of school
buildings, as a result of an agreement
reached at a meeting of the school board
Saturday afternoon. The firm recently ra
signed from the employ of the board fol
lowing a report of the State board of ac
counts which objected to the employment
cf the firm in a supervisory capacity at
the same time L. A. Snider, who also ha*
resigned, was employed as building ad
vise f.
The motion re-employing Snider ft Rotz
wxs adopted three to two, Mrs. Julia
Belle Tutewller, Bert S Gadd and Clar
ence E. Crlppin voting for it and Charles
L. Barry and W. D. Allison voting
against. The board also adopted a mo
tion presented by Mr. Barry providing
that neither Snider ft Rota nor Mr.
Snider individually should be paid any
more money until the legality of such
payments is determined.
PAYMENT UNDER
OJ.D TERMS.
Snider ft Rotz will have under the
present plan, supervisory charge of
building projects now under way but no
action has been taken to employ them
on buildings not already started. For
the work they will do they will he paid
as # they have been in the past, providing
the payment Is found to be legal.
Mr. Barry ar.d Mr. Allison objected to
the re-employment of the engineers with
out a conference with the board of ac
counts and the attorney general to de
termine whether they would give the
proposal their approval. Mr. Allison also
suggested that C. W. Eucton, superin
tendent of buildings and grounds, em
ploy Snider & Rotz, or some other engi
neers. on a salary basis.
Ralph Douglass, business managsr.
when the meeting opened, told ’h* board
that he did not see bow any other Arm
of engineer* could take up the unfinished
work of Snider A Rotz and carry it on.
He cited instances in which work already
is being delayed because of uncertainly
concerning the supervising engineers He
suggested that they be re-employed to
finish work already undertaken.
Mrs. Tutewller agreed, adding that she
believed they should be employed per
manently. Mr. Allison countered with
the objection that the board of accounts
had said supervisory work should be done
by the superintendent of buildings and
grounds and suggested that Mr. Burton
do the work by employing engineers
This view was supported by Mr. Barry.
TAKES OI T SPITE
AGAINST BOARD.
Later, In discussing the bnard of ac
count* attitude. Mrs. Tutewller declared
that ‘‘this board can never reach sn
agreement with the board of accounts
as long as Walter Twinamo is permitted
to vent his spite on us.”
Mr. Allison objected to this statement
declaring t:at "personalities make me
tired." He referred to the refusal of the
board to employ Mr. Twiname's father
a* superintendent of buildings and
grounds and said be believed the board
should have found someone to be super
intendent of buildings and grounds who
could comply with the law
The motion to employ Snider ft Rotz
was then made and Mr. Barry moved to
substitute a motion calling for the em
ployment of engineers by the superin
tendendt of buildings and grounds. This
motion was lost three to two and the orig
inal motfon passed by the same vote,
the division being tbe same in each case.

Frank Thompson and lilt educated plga with the Singling Brothers and

There are piga—and pigs.
Among the latter species may be named
a troupe of twenty used this season as a
foil for the trained wild animal displays
exhibited by tbe RtDgiing Brothers and

that the arlatocracy of the human per

but if is not jo generally known that the
Tnompson pigs now appearing in the
program of the double circus are the
descendants of performer* who proudly
point their snouts to forebear* who were
stars as many as thirty years ago.
For it was at that period that one of
the elder Thompsons, then a farmer at
Plainfield, N. J, conceived the Idea of
including porkers in the category of

Michigan Alderman Puts
Garbage to Practical Use
FLINT, Mich., July IS—Disposing of
the garbage of IS.OeO Flint tables is the
task that Former Alderman Arthur
Cotharin supervises, as garbage commis
sioner of Flint. Mr. Cotharin has some
modern ideas about garbage 'disposal.
In recent years, with cities becoming
more densely populated and health reg
ulations becoming more strict, the care
of garbage has become a problem. Bays
Commissioner Cotharin. Many experi
ments have been made by this city In an
endeavor to find a solution for this prob
lem. but it wa? only two years ago that
the present system was established, and.
according to Mr. Cotharin, it is proving
sccessful.
After garbage has been deposited in
cans, provided for that purpose, it ia col
lected by twelve trucks and taken to
loading docks on Haskell street, where it
is transferred to trailers and removed
to the municipal garbage farm.
This farm, purchased by the city for
the sole purpose of disposing of refuse,
is located five miles eadt of ML Morris
and consists of about two hundred acres
of feeding grounds, where 1,800 hogs
await anxiously the coming of the
trailers.
The farm is equipped with its own
power plant to furnish light aid water
to the large pens where the hogs are
doused at night, and a cree c. which
traverses the 200 acres, furnlthes the
swi.ie a place to eujoy all the jleasures
of "hogdom.’’
The pigs are fed only garbage, and,
judging by the manner It 1s consumed
and by the growth of the “diners," It is
a very acceptable food.
Special precautions are taken to keep
the farm in as sanitary condition as pos
sible. and, according to Mr. Cotharin,
there is very little complaint of noxious

Tne money obtained from the sale of
hogs goes a long way toward meeting the
expense of the garbage collection sys
tem.
Mr Cotharin claims that “from approx
imately tbe same number of garoage
cans as were collected last year at this
time there is Just a little more than half
as much garbage collected now as thon,"
which leads to the belief that Flint
housewives are careful this season in the
conservation of foods.”

JITNEY OWNERS I
TO DEFEND BUS
BEFORE SOLONS
Prepare to Fight Regulatory
Ordinance at City Council
Meeting Tonight.
Jitney drivers are expected to be rep- j
resented at tbe meeting of the city coun
cil tonight, when Councilman Jacob P. |
Brown has aunouuoed he introduce j
tils ordinance to regulate them.
The Taxi and Jitney Drivers' Pro
tective Association stated its position in j
a statement issued following a meeting |
at the home of William G. Kruger, 2804 j
Franklin place.
Charges of the street railway company j
that Jitney competition is taking SI,OOO j
a day from its receipts are held untrue j
In the statement which attacks the ac- |
curacy of tbe check of passengers carried j
by busses made by the street railway I
company.
BLAME DEPRESSION
FOR TRAFFIC LOSS.
Jitney busses are in operation because
the public desires to ride In them in j
place of stow-moving street cars, the,
statement says. Financial distress of tbe j
street railway company is laid to In- i
dustrlal depression and closed factories, j
however. The Jitney operators say that 1
they notice the loss of passengers to and j
from work as well as the street car,
company, and were all factories to open
again, both the street cars and Jitneys
would be unable to handle the increased '
traffic.
“All jitney busses are operated in com- [
pltanee with the laws of the city. State <
and the T'nited States,” the jitney men
state. “The license issued Includes city,
State, Government and drivers' licenses,
which ,s burden enough to operate a jit j
nev bus at a profit.
ACT JUSTICE
FOR PATRONS.
| “We trust that the city council may :
act in accordance with the wishes of tbe
; people who ride Jitney busses and 1 e
I given Justine as well as those who favor j
j riding street cars."
j Councilman Brown's ordinance, in esse j
j he introduced It tonight, is expected to j
'be referred to a committee without dis- j
[ cussion.
j Ordinances appropriating $15,000 to the |
j use of the G. A. R for its national en
! campmant to be held here late in Septem
j her. and authorizing the board of pubblic
' health to negotiate a temporary loan of |
1200.000 with which to operate the city j
hospital and city health department un
i til the November tax money is received, j
are to come up for second reading to
night. Another measure, authorising the j
j board of park commissioners to tempo j
rarily borrow $85,000 to tide it ovtfr until
November, is to be introduced.
