Smith and Foster of Dayton, en­ gineer# who have done considerable work in Xenia, went over the ground Monday, looking after the' job of yrepaiing the plans and supervising die Work, Their charges would be 7 yer cent of the job. Their, estimate‘ for concrete on a 1’0‘qgh basis including curb and im­ provement was placed at $7 a foot. Phis is based on city labor prices md about what such work cost dur- ,ng the war. State highway work is being sold on a basis of $2.60 to $3 for labor and cement around $2 a barrel in car lots. For this reason it is said such.contracts sell for much below the estimates. The legal questions involved were to be put up to Solicitor Harry D. Smith by council before anyother ac­ tion will he taken, NOTES AMONG POLITICIANS. In. political circles the' subject of fostoffice appointments Seems to have received a hard jolt from the new rul­ ing o f President Harding on requir- ■ng ..all applicants to take the civil service, examination and that choice must be made from one o f the first three highest instead o f the highest. It has also been made known that the President does not contemplate any changes until respective terms have xpired, unless by Cause. All first, second and third class post offices will b e llie d from the certified list. No person over 65 can be an applicant, he ‘must have lived within the delivery of such office fo r two years previous. Patronage hunters in Washington, D, <b, will evidently have to run the jy Daugherty, who was a candidate4 for delcgate-at-large to* the national convention and was defeated, by a Wood delegate" Any office seeker who was opposed to the Harding delegates and Mr. Daugherty was one. of them, Ihjrjks he will not have to cross this barbed-wire-entanglement is going to get fooled. The old Jacksonian idea o f “ the spoils for the victors” stiil will play an important part despite civil service, reformers, uplifters and a dozen and one. other kind of reform­ ers that arc attached to pay rolls. Banner Morgan was placed under aiTCst Monday by Marshal Myers for intoxication, the first on such a charge for many months, tinder the new law just passed by the legisla­ ture the fine has been changed from The post- office situation is looming up again in Jamestown. It is said that the present incumbent, Mr. O’Day, who’ is only serving temporary, may resign as tho office is not remunera­ tive enough for a school teqeher. In Springfield the committee has endor- ed County Superintendent Collins for the city job. It now appears that Con­ gressman Fess does not take kindly to such an endorsement and may re­ commend Harry Tuttle, present as­ sistant postmaster. There was a time when committees told Congressmen whom to appoint, but not so nowa­ days, „ . . Chairman L. T. Marshall says he is in an. odd position due 1to the fact that men he turns down for recom- dations get the jobs anyway. L. T. had the experience of seeing Perry Shumaker get a state job despite the fact that an endorsement was refus­ ed. Some days ago Marshall tried to square himself with Shumaker by stating that he personally was for him but the commi ee was opposed to his endorsement. Marshall also wanted to know how he got the job but Perry kept that a secret. “My committee will ask me how it comes that you can get a job and no en­ dorsement and what chn I say?” says Marshall, Tell them that I got it because you’ refused to endorse nic” says Shumaker. But you see how it leaves me with the committee” was Marshall's answer. Perry ex­ tended thanks for the refusal to en­ dorse him and let the matter drop.
