Thus Mr. Armitage has everybody In the official family happy but W. li. Payne, negro elevator operator. Payne was told by Mayor Shank he was going to be custodian. The death of Custodian Gordon Donaldson created the vacancy. Mr. Armitage said he felt It his duty to place Buchanan and Collins after they lost their Jobe In the sanitary department. Shank-Armitage politicians declared the two were ousted because Luciu# B. Swift of the sanitary board did not approve their working in behalf of the ShankArmltage combine in the recent scramble for control of the Republican party in Marion County. Mr. Swift said he wanted thorn dismissed because they thought more of politics than they did of their work. QIESTION ARISES AS TO WHO IS BOSS.

Buchanan said this was why Mr. Swift had him discharged from his superin tendency. MACHINE OBLIGED TO PLACE BUCHANAN. Thus the Shank-Arinitage machine found' itself obligated to take care of Buchanan, being firmly convinced he had lost his Job because of activity in its behalf. There were no $2,000 a year Jobs at the city hall. Buchanan must have the same salary the sanitary board paid him. So the city hall politicians set out to find him a good berth somewhere. Somebody remembered the employment bureau and Mayor Shank got busy. lie [ called on Governor McCray last Saturday morning. When he came back to the city hall Mr. Riley came with him and it was announced the city would cooperate with the State. Buchanan was to have a $2,000 a year Job in the employ- : ment bureau. Today the full details of the agreement became known. Instead of paying SO,OOO a year Mr. Riley has pared the j budget for the bureau so the city shall furnish only $2,801.30 a year, pins the headquarters in the basement of the city hall. In addition the city is privileged to name Buchanan as assistant chief examiner and' one woman exatuiiier, whose salary will be $1,200 a ' year. Evidencing good faith in carrying out I the agreement Mr. Groninger today prepared an ordinance for submission to the ; city council Monday evening appropriating $1,080.53 for the city’s share of the ; expense !a the seven months left In 1922. He culled attention to the fa-t the admin istratlon will have to furnish only onehalf as much money as heretofore and at the same time has got its hands on a : couple of good appointments. The city hail politicians decided it was j a nifty piece of work. DULL STUDENT BECOMES RICH Perfected Invention of Electric Meter. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 3.—George !
