Commissioners Have Right To Increase Fund But Tako No Action Ahum Unpaid Suliirics la Treasurer's Office Salary "mix-up in the ofTico of Joseph H. DuBoIs, county treasurer, Is not a question of additional appropriation or a' question of Irans- Icr of funds, but whether the county commissioners see fit to remove the six-tenths limitation flxort by law.

H. Hnlnes, his assistant, by the ccu'n- ty auditor's office. At those rates, the opinion rays, the salaries of the fvjll fine employees would be $15,780 which is 13,780 In excess of the appropriation, vhlch is $12,000. "The purpose and provision of the aws that now exist requiring a for each office and levy by the nidget commission for amounts to be used for a and specific purpose is to put the public office on an effective business the opinion says.

That was when he played the organ In the Preibytcrlan Church, the choir being made up of Pauline Straub, soprano, Tine Hallman, contralto, Will Shaffer, tenor, and Will Falconer, bass. When Nick gave up a job he was followed by Walter Alken, now professor of, music in Ihe Cincinnati schools.

Mr. Gray came here with the Nilcs Tool Works In 1873. Before that the concern had been largely owned in Cincinnati By James W. Craft, a wealthy distiller, the firm being Graff, Gray, and Gordon, the Gray being George, the brother of Nick, and Gordon being Alexander Gordon, generally known as the real founder of the Niles Tool Works of Hamilton. Alex.

Gordon had worked In overalls as a machinist on an Ohio river steamboat, where his boss was George Gray, When the new film was organized under the Miles name, given above, they worked 50 men in the immediate neighborhood of the Pennsylvania railroad station on the East side. Being forced to move, the proposal was submitted to Dayton and Hamilton. This city being nearer Cincinnati won out after a heated competition.

A man named Strodtbeck, said to be from was In charge, the sheriff was told. In an effort to defeat the contest In Warren county, Sheriff Epperson telephoned to authorities there.

When the first Niles building was ready Mr. Gray, who was In active charge of the Cincinnati factory, came up to Hamilton with the last car load, and tcok charge as accountant and general manager. Alex. Gordon went on the road and was a very capable salesman. But they were hardly under way when the panic of 1873 broke and left ths new plant In bad shape.

The management tried to piece out with local work, and even did not turn down repairs. Bill with but 50 men on the payroll the plant In 1816 was compelled to shut down and did not reopen until 1878. Mr. Gray then went Into the electrical and machinery business for himself In Cincinnati, but continuing to live in Hamilton. Later he removed to Clean, Illinois, where he purchased an old electric light plant which he built up by good management until a large concern which was setting a chain of such plants bought him out at a very satisfactory figure.
