DENIES MALICE IN DISMISSAL OF SCHOOL CLERK Manager Says Information of Shipp Deals Played No Part. Charges of Philip Zoercher. stafe tax commissioner, that Dallas Castle, school cleric, was dismissed because he informed the tax board of irregular school board purchases of ventilating equipment, are denied in a letter Zoercher has received from C. C. York, school business director. "A pubdc office is a public trust, | and any employe in a public office j ought to have a right truthfully to j answer any question that any tax- j payer may ask concerning the busi- I ness of the public.” Zoercher wrote j to York in urging Castle's reinstate- i ment. Plain to Him Zoercher wrote that it is “'plain to me he was discharged because of this information. When his father (Ed Castle), former school shop foreman, was discharged, this j young man was demoted. It was not because he was not doing his duty, or that he w-as not qualified to perform the duties of that position.” York’s reply stated Zoercher’s charges W’ere erroneous, and that j Castle had been discharged ‘‘for the, good of the service.” York explained that w’hen the elder York was made shop foreman Dallas Castle was promoted from assistant clerk to chief clerk, displacing Julius Emhardt, brother of Adolph G. Emhardt, former school commissioner, who was demoted, and that with the removal; of the elder Castle, Dallas Castle was demoted and Emhardt given back his old position. This occurred several weeks before the younger Castle was discharged. Furnished Blanks Dallas Castle Is alleged to have furnished Zoercher with requisition blanks showing that the school board, evading the law, requiring bids for articles costing more than , S2OO. had purchased piecemeal, ven- I tilating equipment manufactured by j C. C. Shipp, in orders of less than S2OO each, without bids being re- j ceived. Zoercher said he has in his pos- I session one order blank for a part of ventilating equipment costing more than S2OO.

Write Your Own Guarantee On Defiance Tires

—And Here Are Three Good Reasons Why We Can Afford to Say That:

1 Because DEFIANCE TIRES are built by one of the largest and best equipped factories in the world. ® They embody every new and advanced idea In construction: the materials and the workmanshio are of the finest and there is plenty of rubber in each tire to insure greatest durability.

2 Because a chain of over 200 of America's foremost department stores have pooled their buying • powers to such an enormous extent that matchless savings are effected, which, in turn, are being passed on to you.

3 Because tires are but one of the many lines of merchandise sold by Block's. We are not dependent G upon them alone to carry our overhead; therefore we can and do sell them on a much closer margin of profit, effecting great savings for the purchaser of these tires.

WAY CLEARED FOR DELAWARE BRIDGE

The movement to obtain property for an adequate approach to the Delaware street bridge over Fall Creek, started more than five years j ago, was concluded today, with the 1 agreement between the park board and the Jose-Balz Realty Company, , owner of two triangular tracts needi ed for the development. The owner of the tracts south of Twenty-eighth street and between Talbot street and Washington boulevard, agreed to accept the city appraisal of $78,105. The firm asked $120,000 originally.
