THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY; JAN. 26, 1917

PREPARE BILL TO GIVE PLANT CIVIL SERVIGE

, First definite steps to remove the municipal light plant from politics ' were taken last night when a council committee met . with President Bavlg and City Attorney Bond and drafted a bill to be presented to the legisla- . ture placing the plant under civil service. Coancllmen Handley, Howells, Waidele and Steinbrlnk attended the meeting 'and helped to draft the proposed act. Copies will be sent immediately to . Wayne county's representatives In the

legislature and speedy action will be

sought for the MIL Provides for Civil Service. As drafted the bill provides any city in the state owning its own utility plant may place It under civil service and put all employes under the merit rule. President Bavis says operation of such an act will not make a civil service commission necessary for each city. "The law will provide that the state .utilities commission act as civil serv- ' ice commission also and pass upon Qualifications of applicants for jobs," be said. The proposed law contains a list of the qualification for employes, including superintendent, which office it is aimed to remove from politics before it becomes too attractive a plum. Demands Executive Ability.

A successful applicant for superin

tenaent, says tne bill, must have a good moral character, known executive ability and a fair technical know

ledge of the plant.

President Bavis says such action Is - made almost necessary because of the

' increasing value of the plant and the ' increasing attractiveness of the post- ' Hons of superintendent and chief engi

neer.

"There is agitation now to make the superintendent's pay $2,500 a year," he

said. "This makes an alluring prize and might offer inducements for some person or persons dumping money into an election to control that appointment." The law would affect about 25 employes of the Richmond plant RETURNED TO EATON ON ASSAULT CHARGE; AROUSED WATCHMAN

Wife No. 2 Claims Mr. Roe

IATON, O., Jan. 26. To answer to a charge of assault and battery, Robert Miller, 27, was returned here from Dayton late Thursday afternoon by Marshal Armstrong. According to the officer, Miller probably will be arraigned Friday. Miller came to this city from Cincinnati a few weeks ago and was employed by the Overland Sales company in the mechanical department. He was discharged a few days, ago and went to Dayton, where he procured work. According to the story he told Dayton police, he spent all his money f ntertaining women in the Gem City. He returned to Eaton Wednesday night and shortly before midnight entered the office of the garage, allegedly for the purpose of robbery. Elston Stiggleman, of West Florence, employed as night watchman, was awakened by noise and observed the form of a man standing near his bed. When he turned on the light, he says, he identified Miller revolver in

hand. Stiggleman made efforts to defend himself, but In the melee was struck upon the head four times by a heavy soldering iron Miller held. Stiggleman, however, was not knocked out and Miller's efforts were thwarted. Earl Thurston, of this city, who was apprehended with Miller, knew nothing of the trouble here, and was released by Dayton authorities. Thurslon formed Miller's acquaintance In Eaton.
