nell, $25,000 for four combination chemical and hose wagons and one 75foot aerial truck or $15,500 for four combination chemical and ho3e wagons.

The appointment of Charles Kelley to take the place of Robert Hall, appointed the first of the month, also was announced after meeting. Investigation into the appointment of Hall revealed that he was ineligible to hold the position, it is said.

nell placed their bid at the meeting Thursday night. The local firm bid $25,000 to make five machines, five combination chemical and hose wagons and one 75 foot aerial truck while the successful bidder asked $24,950 to build but four machines, three combination wagons and the aerial truck.

President Herman Deming of the board explained matters by Baying that the city was purchasing better machines. O'Brien and O'Connell offer in rebuttal that the machine in use by the fire department at present at headquarters was built by the local people and has done excellent service.

Another argument put up by the board of safety is that the machines offered by O'Brien and O'Connell are but four cylinder machines while those that were bought have six cylinders.

Mayor Gossom explained Friday morning that he had recommended that William Kelley be placed on the fire department and explained his reason. "When 'Bud' Houghten was in Indianapolis during-the trial, Kelley was hired as assistant custodian of the city hall and when Houghten went to Leavehworth I felt like taking care of "Bud's* wife and si* little children-so I let Kelley go and gave Mrs. Houghten the job. It is hard on her and her little boy but they are getting along. I told Kelley why I was doing it and he was very gracious in quitting the job as I promised myself I would take care of him when I had a chance."

SENT TO JAIL FOR CONTEMPT.

Husband Given 20 Days for Failing to Obey Court Order. George W. Pierson, painter, living in the northeast part of the city, was sent to jail for twenty days by Judge Gerdink Thursday afternoon for contempt of court in failing to obey its order to pay his divorced wife, Mrs. Mary Pierson, twenty dollars a month for the support of their seven-year-old twins. Pierson had been before the court three times on this charge, and each time, without a lawyer, had been able to explain to the satisfaction of the court his inability to pay the money because of lack of employment. He was so indifferent in his manner Thursday, however, that he stretched the patience of Judge Gerdink, who, after administering a severe rebuke, sent him to jail to study over his shortcomings. Mrs. Pierson, who is working as a waitress in a local hotel to support her children, testified that since their divorce last fall Pierson had contributed but ten cents toward his children's support.
