STEVENS RESIGNS; APPOINT BESGHER TO FILL VACANCY Baltz A. Bescher, former city controller, and more lately deputy city clerk, was appointed city clerk to suc

ceed William Stevens, resigned, at the opening of the council meeting Monday evening. The resignation of Mr. Stevens came as a surprise to ' members of the council, as only one or two had learned of his intention before the meeting. Ill health was given as the cause of the aitlon. In presenting his resignation, Mr. Stevens recommended Bescher as hi3 successor. Mayor Handley at once made the appointment, Beschpr was sworn in and the regular business of the meeting taken up. "It is with sincere regret, I know, on both your part and mine, that this resignation of Mr. Stevens is accepted," 'said Mayor Handley. Applause greeted Mr. Bescher as he turned back to his duties after being sworn in as city clerk. An ordinance providing for the organizing of a city planning commission, to be composed of seven members, five of whom are to be citizens, one a member of the board of works, and one the city engineer, was passed to the third reading. City Attorney Kelley explained that

as soon as the ordinance was passed it would become necessary to make a j special tax levy of from three to eight i mills on the hundred dollars valuation of city property, which would raise!

from $1,066 to $2,814 Tor the use of this commission. This money could be '.sed to employ architects and engineer for the commission. Sentiment in favor of the plan was expressed by a number of members of the council, among them Frank Waidele, and Joseph Waltermann. Walker Land, president of the board of works. old the council it was his opinion that a city planning commission would be of real help to the city government, as it could pass on proposed improvements. Discuss Needed Repairs Numerous streets, sewers and alleys in need of repair, were brought up in the reports of members of the council, and referred to the board of works and the street department. Councilman Kahlsing brought up the matter of street lights needed on South Twentyfirst street, near the Reeveston Road. Walker Lahd, president of the board of works, explained to the council that the street lighting system is undergo ing a process of change, a new and more efficient set of lights being used to replace those at present in use. and that replacements of street lights would be one of the first matters taken up with the new superintendent of the light plant, when he is named. Joseph Walterman suggested that firebox doors which have been sticking in some of the stations over the city, be Inspected by the fire chief. The matter was referred to the fire chief. To Overhaul Street Roller. The street roller will be thoroughly gone over and arrangements made to house it soon. City Engineer Dell Davis stated. Mayor Handley asked the council for permission to delay the appointment of the coal contract investigating committee pending the report of the state board of examiners, which

is now going over tne doks or me city. It was granted. , The need of a street sweeper was mentioned by Councilman Waidelo, and the matter was referred to the board of works, and the committee on property, streets and alleys. Sentiment Divided. That charity patients were not allowed the services of their own physician, but must take the physician furnished by the hospital, was brought out by Joseph Waltermann, reporting on a meeting of the hospital board. Sentiment in the council was almost unanimously against this arrangement, which had been introduced as a part of the standardization movement in the institution. John Whiter Frank Waidele. and Oscar Williams were outspoken in their condemnation of the plan. Mayor Handley suggested further study of the matter. Webb Parry, city controller, was appointed to succeed Baltz Bescher as a member of the hospital board. He holds the position by virtue of his office as controller. An ordinance appropriating $11,717 lor the sewers, streets and alleys fund, was passed by the council. The appropriation was made to cover the cost of the city's share of the South E street improvement, which had not been completed in time for payment last year. Light Plant Figures. Operating income of the light plant amounted to $53,853.57 and other revenue brought the amount up to $114,076.26 lor the month of December, acrording to the report rendered by Frank Bescher, accountant for the plant. Disbursements and operating expenses amounted to $17,359.83 and those for buildings and equipment amounted to $18,740.21. The sinking fund received a $1,250 payment during the month, and a balance was left in that fund of $7,233.37. Tlvs balance in the general fund was given as $76,996.22.

Wireless Telephone News From Everywhere Palladium Government License Call is 9ZAE, Fred Clark, operator

Much interest is being shown by amateurs in the new small telephone on which C. O. Snyder is working. Its development will enable practically everyone to have a wireless telephone transmitting station, as it can be built out of equipment already in the hands of most amateurs. . Mr. Snyder's telephone is a modification of the English airplane set, and may be operated without a generator. Eaton Forms Wireless Club. Enough amateurs have been drawn together and sufficient interest aroused to warrant the formation of a club in Eaton. Accordingly this was done at a meeting held last week. H. it. Spitler was elected president of the club. Willard Overholser, vice president, and Charles Emrick secretary treasurer. There were 16 amateurs present at the organization meeting, including Arnholt and Christman from West Manchester. New Stations. Christman, of West Manchester, is building a regenerative variometer set. Wilbur Erk, of 220 South Tenth street, Richmond, is building a wireless ro ceiving station, and has his aerirl erected. He will use a Doran set Hpnrv Miller, north of New Paris, has

put up an aerial and is receiving with

a crystal detector and a loose coupier until he can get some better apparatus. Joseph Hale, of Richmond, is building a one stage amplifier. Everett Chenoweth, of Lynn, has completed his st, with a crystal detector and a variometer, and is getting very good results with it. Hagerstown Amateurs. All three stations in Hagerstown. operated by Knapp, Teetor and Wogamon, are receiving now and giving good satisfaction both to their owners and to their friends who are listening frequently. An increasing interest in wirelcs is reported in that city. Knapp, using a detector alone, is setting very good results. The Pal

ladium broadcast is received very; loudly, and Hamilton of Indianapolis is received even better. Knapp has

been able to get the Chicago grand

One of the latest is Anita, N. D., and others are Jamestown. N. Y. (detector alone); Newark; Natick, Mass., and Philadelphia, Pa. In the last city he was heard by the president of one

of the local radio clubs on a single ! wire 75-foot aerial, stretched east and J west. Schultz also w orked Savannah, Ga., last week. Maurice Druley has been doing mes-!

and another describing an audion detector and amplifier circuit, will be of interest to amateurs. Another article, telling of the practical benefits of radio, has been written for those laymen who are interested but who have no sets as yet. Farmers Are Interested Some of the communities near Richmond are showing interest in radio, and demonstrations will be held soon

in Boston township in Wayne county, i in Preble county near New Paris, in j Spartanburg, and in Economy. I New Eaton Set !

The receiving set on which the Eaton amateurs have been working for the Science and Invention prize is

nearly completed, lacking only the loop antenna. The Eaton club hopes to test it out Friday night. The set is a partnership affair, H. R. Spitler making the variable condenser, Clem Tingle the antenna and Charles Emerick the detector, which is of an unusual type. Palladium Telephone Only his friendship for the Palladium operator prevented a bill for medical services last week, when Philip Shera, of Oxford, Ohio, tuned in the Palladium. With his two stage amplifiers on, the telephone was so loud that he was deafened and could not hear for half an hour, "and was still dazed the next dav." A number

their sets' of farmers and operators in small

towns are listening to the Palladium

market reports. Bundles of blanks on which to copy the reports were mailed to them Monday night.

To Discuss Location of Office For Handley Discussion of the proper location for an office for Mayor Lawrence Handley is one of the matters to come up for discussion at an informal meeting of the board of works next Wednesday evening. The board will meet at 7.30 o'clock. . Mayor Handley said Tuesday that it was possible the office would be located at the head of the stairs in the city building, in part of the room now occupied bthe sleeping quarters of the fire department. More space than necessary is now given over to that room, since the platoon system has been introduced, he said.
