Mrs. Ambrosius, opposed for the acting appointment by Assistant Supervisor Harry Reedy of Granite City, only other applicant, received 30 votes and Reedy 17, on a secret ballot taken by the board.

All 47 members of the board attended the special meeting during the forenoon today, called (o fill the treasurership vacancy and expedite reopening of the office, closed immediately after Ambrosius' death at 9:30 Monday morning. William T. Carson of Alton, chief, deputy the past two years under Treasurer Ambrosius and prominently mentioned the past two days as a possible choice filling the office vacancy, announced before the board's special meeting today that he would not be an applicant for the acting treasurer appointment. Reeely's application came as a surprise move at the special board session as members had generally assumed that Mrs. Ambrosius would be unopposed for the acting appointment.

The board, after appointing Mrs. Ambrosius to fill the unexpired term of treasurer, adopted a resolution submitted by its finance committee fixing her bond at, $200,000 as county treasurer, 5250,000 as county collector and $2000 supervisors of assessments, the sum provided by law.

today with a silent prayer for George Ambrosius, sounty treasurer whose death caused the meeting and the pointment. Board Chairman Gus Haller asked State's Attorney Burton for a legal opinion on filling the vacancy caused by Ambrosius' death. Burton said that the first legal step in case of the death of the treasurer was the closing of the office. This wns done immediately following Ambrosius' death. The law also provides, according to Burton, that, the county clerk immediately take possession of the tax books of the county and as- cretain the amount of taxes to bo collected.

When the appointment of an acting treasurer is made, the clerk must (urn the hooks over to the appointee together with the certificate of the amount of taxes to be collected. Burton also told the board that the appointee must tender bond, and suggested thnt the finnnce committee be authorized to- np- prove the bond on behnlf of the hoard inasmuch as this would make unnecessary another special hoard meeting.

1. The high cost, of building has stymied Wood River school officials in their attempts at construction programs. Both the high school nnd grade school districls are unnblo to proceed with building plans, due to insufficient funds to meet bids offered. This week, the community high school district and the elementary school district each opened bids on similar projects. The high school hopes to construct a fieldhouse nnd industrial arts building, nnd the grade school district wants two gymnasium-auditoriums with cafeterias, hut in the case of both districts the amount of bond issue voted is insufficient to cover building costs.

of "'const ruction awarded by The high school reported that bids presented by construction companies for the fieldhouse building were all "too close" to the amount of money the board has to spend. This is the second lime the high school board has found its funds inadequate. Original bond issue authorized by the voters was for When that isssue was found (o be insufficient, the board held a second election, and voters authorized an additional $600,000 in bonds, making a total of $1,050,000 available for the construction program. The total sum was to include work on the development of an athletic field. Work on the athletic field has been slow, but it is hoped that football games this fall will be played on the new field.

Principal J. F. Snodgras of the high school said today that one bid on the building was far above the estimale, yet one was an adequate bid but was ruled out due to its "escalator" clause. The bids have been laken under advisement. Snodgras added that on a cubic foot basis one bid wasn't bad, since it was for $1 per cubic foot, while the current fair price is set at 90 cants.

Snodgrns said that perhaps a change in plans or elimination of some features of the fieldhouse Continued on PIIRP, 2, Col. 8. After a Hard Summer grounds' Larger Items Of Equipment Wearing Out William Earl Woods, 3. son of Mr. nnd Mrs.

Thursday. Seven discs Hospitalized Now Seven cases of polio are now hospitalized in the isolation department ot the infirmary, Dr. Norman' Rose, district health officer of Illinois Depnrtmenl of Public Health, reported today. Three of the cases, including the Woods boy, had been admitted since Saturday. The two new cases were Sue Landers, 8, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William Landers of Cottage Hills, and Cnrl Fred Wnllnce of Grnflon. Both entered the infirmary- Snturday. Cottage Hills Sprayed Condition of Sue Landers, who has been in a respirator since Monday, was reported as "fairly" good todny, and Wallace's condition wns snid to be Miss Dorothy Uelsman, 19, of Worden, had improved to the extent that she was released from the infirmary Tuesday. Meanwhile the entire village of Cottage Hills was sprayed with DDT lo fight infantile paralysis the United Slates Public Health Service announced yesterday.

Two jwore cases of polio were discovered yesterday, bringing the lolal lo five in Ihe 500-populalion community. The DDT wns sprayed from trucks cruising the village's streets lo battle insect carriers of thn disease virus. A conference yesterday, called by Mayor Wadlow-, to clear awny obstacles to the early approval of plans for the McAdams parkway connection nt Alton was productive of small results. Three corporations were represented. One of them, Union Electric presented nn enthusiastic front, declared it considered it civic duty to aid In promoting the Mc- Acnms parkway.

That declaration mnde by Harry Williamson, representing the Union Electric, had an important bearing because he said his company would make a gift of whatever of its land 'the improvement required. There was no limitation on the Union Electric Co. offer. Mr. Williamson represents tht.

real estate and tax office of his company. It is very valuable offer, It. was the first time In the long, difficult history of ncgoliations to promote the McAdams parkway entry Into Alton thnt helpful proposal had voluntarily come un- sollcllcd from any of Ihe corporations along the route whose property possessions are delaying, puzzling promotion of the plan. After Mr. Williamson had turned on the sunshine and brought the first, smile to the faces of any of the conference members, the chief engineer of the Illinois Terminal, Mr, Loida begnn to show a noticeable smile replacing the grimness that had seemed discouraging, perhaps non-cooperative.

Patiently C. H. Sheppard, planner for the project and representing the state of Illinois, hnd pointed out his solutions of objections which hnd previously been made in other conferences. But Mr. Sheppnrd wns not getting far until the sunshine ot the Union Electric broke in, and then came Mr.

Loida's somewhat enthusiastic statement of his conclusions' after he hnd given a study to the Sheppard plan. The Mississippi Lime Co. representatives received suggestions ns to what could be done for removing th'eir objections, but the two representatives ot the Lime company said they had no authority to give any decision that could bind the? company. It was learned company head, would be home soon from his summer vacation and the hope was held by project boosters that, when he comes back, he will speak favorably and helpfully for his company, In behalf of aiding the long delnyed project. Unless some fnvornble agreement is made it will be impossible to gel Ihe conlract for the highway work awarded this fall, as it has been intended to do.

The plan is to get the work contracted for and started upon before the election. Some pessimists fear thai such a delay would mean another four years of disappointing delays in getting the highway under way. The Illinois Terminal was reported lo be ready and willing lo keep all Us pledges about the highway. Its chief request, once the snarl In its yards is straighlencd oul (and it is helpfully Inclined on that point) is to get permission to provide facilities for moving its coal, dumping plant from its site nt-ar Allon Waler Co. to a point north of the Madison-Jersey county line.

Mayor Wndlow showed Ihe claws in Ihe velvet paw when he made a suggestion that fnilure to agree would force condemnation proceedings so the project could go on. Women Held Better Credit Risk Than Men Alton's larger pieces of playground equipment have been wearing out for the last six to eight years and have not been replaced, Harold Bean, superintendent of recreation, revealed today ns he reported on the end of the summer playground session. He said equipment from the six Alton playgrounds is renovated each winter by Joe playground maintenance man. After a Jinrtl summer, June 21 to Aug. 13, the equipment generally needs rebuilding, Bean said, and pointed out there were about 1100 children using the playgrounds each dny during the season.

Last About Two The life of the smaller playground as balls, gloves, catcher's masks nnd the like averages about two years, Bean related. The larger equipment, of course, lasts longer and, in some cases, is almost entirely rebuilt. However, some of the larger equipment can no longer be saved and, consequently, is gradually decreasing. There Is no money available for replacement of large equipment as there is for the smaller pieces, Bean said. Each playground is allotted $5 per month for mainle- nance of equipment, he said.

The! smaller items nre purchnsed out i of a regular budget fund provided by city tax revenue. Moved to Storage Large playground equipment hns boon left on the grounds while the smaller items were moved tb a storage garage on Cherry street, Bean said. Tlie slides and swings at school sites are generally left up for use of school children for part of the school year. The fall and winter program of the playgrounds is now being planned, the recreation chief reported. Basketball will be started in November and it is expected that boys' nnd girls' clubs will also be launched nt the playgrounds' shelter houses next month.

The clubs feature such activities as handicraft, dancing and games, and are for two groups, children up to 14 years of age and 'teen-agers of 14 to 17. Playground supervisors are to ofticiate at one playground shelter house one night each week, when the individual clubs convene. August Dry, but 50 Pet.

Barrett said today. In a letter to Peoria business men who had asked for such an appointment, Barrett, said "An unrestricted investigation by a competent attorney Is In progress." He referred to a special Peorln County Grand Jury Investigation lo determine whether ah intermediary for State's Attorney Roy P. Hull demanded a $25,000 bribe from gangster Bcrnie Shelton of Peoria shortly before Shelton was slain.

The Sliellon family claims such a demand was made. Hull denied it. The grand Jury Inquiry is he- ing directed by a special prosecutor, Verle Sofford of Peoria. Barrett said that by enlarging the Investigatory powers of Safford and broadening the scope of the Peoria Grand Jury, Judge Henry Ingram of the Porla County Circuit Court already has answered the business men's request. The business men In their letter expressed alarm at developments growing out of the fatal shooting of Shelton.

Progressive chances for qualifying candidates In Cook County hinged on litigation pending In the Appellate and slnlc Supreme courts. The electoral board's decision sustained formal objections filed by five Democratic war veterans to petitions the now party ctr- culnted In 88 ot the state's 102 counties.
