MAYOR WILL RETAIN DILLON AS MANAGER OF CITY LIGHT PLANT

Mayor ,W. W. Zimmerman will not accept the resignation . of James P.

Diljon,. superintendent of the municipal electric light -and power plant, un

less DUlon expressly demands it. ac

cording 'td 'a statement .made by the

mayor Tuesday morning. The mayor

stated that, in spite of the efforts that had been made to discredit the plant,

it had made $9,000 during April, com

pared with about $100 a year ago.

"Why should" ! turn out Dillon when

.the plant is running smoothly and giving satlsf action to virtually everyone concerned - just to please a certain clique that has made every effort to discredit my administration?" the mayor stated. "No specific charges have been made against Jimmy Dillon that would warrant my turning him out, and until I am convinced that it is for the best interest of the plant to let him go, you can say for me that Dillon will stay in the position as superintendent." Dr. Zimmerman concluded. Net to Make Change The action by the "mayor, was not unexpected " from all sources, as certain elements in the administration have argued "that with .only a few months oOhe present administration yet to run. it would seem inadvisable to- make any changes at this time. The introduction of a new .manage

ment in the plant for seven months,!

especially when the vplant is operating in an efficient manner, has been inexpedient by certain forces, it is raid. ' . Matt Von Pien. president of the. board of public works, slates that he agrees with the mayor in refusing the resignation -of Mr. -Dillon. - "I would hate to see a change in the administration at the plant with only a few months remaining under the present administration." Mr. Von Pein stated. "Dillon has made some mistakes and everyone will admit this, but none of these have been serious. He was without experience when he went into ofTice, but is pretty well rosted now, and can handle the plant about as well as anyone we could pick up for the short period remaining," the president of the board said. The whole matter probably will be settled definitely at the meeting cf council next Monday night.

Had such a plan been adopted by the class of 1901 the college would this year have received a ten to fifteen thousand dollars addition to the endowment fund, depending on the size of the class. Once made a precedent,

every eight classes would add approximately $100,000.00 to the endowment which is infinitely more than the average per graduating class in the pastStatistics in the President's office reveal that the graduate from Earlham has actually paid in tuition only. 45 of his actual cost to the college. After consulting with representatives of the Alumni association, $10 per year per graduate was considered a reasonable return to the college for his increased earning capacity and personality. The class of 1921 in this action be

lieves that the paying of a group life insurance policy has sufficient value to recommend it, to the successive Senior classes and have expressed the hope that a precedent will be established thereby which will go a long way in aiding the future of Earlham college.

(By Associated Press) GENEVA, May 31 Views are being exchanged between the allied nations relative to the advisability of reopening the question of choosing a city as the permanent seat of the league of nations. This matter, which may prove to be one of the most interesting to be considered at the June meeting of the council of the league, is expected to be added to the agenda of the meeting. At least 10 days would be required for the council to complete the work before It, but this period may be extended, as it is believed probable that new questions will arise during the sessions. No secret is made by league officials of the dissatisfaction felt over what has been done to take care of the league's requirements here. Much of the discontent is due to the difficulty in securing accommodations for the

delegations to the fall meeting of the assembly. France Opposes Change The desire of France still is to have the headquarters of the league at Versailles, but the claims of Brussels, which continue to be pressed, are finding more favor. The council, it is held, has under the covenant full authority to change the headquarters any time, although the assembly voted in principle, that the annual meetings

snouia De held at Geneva. Aside from these matters the most important work on the program will be consideration of the report of the commission on amendments to the covenant and the drawing up of a report by the council to the forty-eight members of the league on this subject.
