Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 July 1909 — One Day Was Enough As City Teamster. [ARTICLE]

One Day Was Enough As City Teamster.

Charles W. Shaw, who was appointed city teamster by the council Monday evening, resigned the position Tuesday evening after one day’s trial. He made his first drive with the fire team in the evening and at its conclusion he said he had enough and announced his intention of resigning. A successor will be appointed by the council as soon as they can find a man to take the place. The contract with Mr. Zea provides for 30 days’ notice, and he will continue to fill the position until a new appointment is made.
