in in SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN. THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 PAGE ELEVEN Election Brings Possibility of Changes in City Positions, New Appointments to Be Made Soon Krumm's Proposal to Provide Well Water to City Is Confronting Opposition REDLANDS, April may have a new mayor, a new city engineer, a new city attorney, a new chief of police, new fire chief and a new city judge if the members of the reorganized city council so desire at their first meeting of the new term next Wednesday. This is not at all likely to occur, but it is legally possible. When Theodore Krumm sought election as councilman, he advertised that he wanted the vote of the people who desired a change in the present administration and he plainly hinted of a "cleanup" and "more efficiency in all city departments." Thornquest and Krumm in Lead Final count of Monday's votes gave Captain Krumm a lead over all other candidates in the councilmanic race. But William L.

Thornquest was reelected with almost as votes those apparently satisfied with the present administration, therefore no radical changes are anticipated. Every two years it is customary for the council to reorganize and appoint or reappoint a mayor, city attorney, city engineer, chief of police, fire chief and city judge, although any of these can be changed at any time during the two year period. Well Water Idea Gains Opposition Captain Krumm's announced intention to insist upon a return to well water for drinking purposes in Abandoned Auto Is Discovered on Lawn (Special Staff Correspondence) REDLANDS, April 11, Halloween is seven months distant, yet some jokester pushed an automobile onto the lawn and abandoned it late last night, in front of L. W. Gist's home at 316 East Olive avenue.

The car belongs to Miss Zula Brassfield, a stenographer at the Merchants National Trust Savings bank here, who told the police she had parked in front of the new Y. M. C. A. building on East Citrus avenue.

Apparently the machine had been pushed over the crub and across the sidewalk on Olive avenue onto the fine lawn, as the ignition lock had not been touched. Moving an automobile without the permission of the owner is a violation of the law. Mrs. Powell Plans Church Class Fete COLTON, April 11. Mrs.

Beaumont Notes (Special Staff Correspondence) BEAUMONT, April Boy Scouts have expressed a willingness to cooperate with the Beaumont cemetery district in cleaning the two cemeteries for Decoration day this year. The district finds itself without funds this year, and will have to depend volunteer help this year. The matter will be taken up with the troop committee on the return of Chairman H. A.

Jewett. Dr. Guy Bogart was in charge of the boys at the regular meeting Friday night, in the absence of Scoutmaster G. W. Ormsby, who was in Ventura county on his Easter vacation.

"We do not want the Boy Scout troop, as badly as it needs the money, to receive any pay for helping in the cemetery work," said Dr. Bogart. "We find that even when only indirectly compensated by having the organization receive pay, it breaks down one of the fundamental Boy Scouts' fundamentally principals. The boys are taught to serve for the sake of serving, and not for compensation. We hope the community as a whole will preciate the fine group of lads in the Beaumont troop sufficiently to give liberally for the scout work next year, so that we will not have to have our bills paid by Riverside philanthorphists relaxed as this from year." scout tests for the boy vacation, and spent the evening in games and contests, following a brief business session.

The initial number tells of the success of Charles in the Boy Scout work. Charles is making progress, not only in scholarship and athletic pursuits, but in the recovery of sight. The last is a triumph of chiropractic, according to Dr.

Una B. Carey, who for the past few years has been treating him when in Beaumont and supervising his treatments when in Berkeley. "Charles was able to see only very large print, and that only by turning the head far back," said Dr. Carey. "He is now so improved that he is able to read ordinary print under some conditions.

We have hopes for far greater progress in case." 13 AUTOS ARE CITED BY LAW Redlands Police Begin Drive on Motorists Who Leave Cars Parked Over Limit (Special Staff Correspondence) REDLANDS, April automobiles were tagged by the police during the last 24 hours for being parked longer than two hours in the same spot in the business zone.

The decisive figures of the election give a completely new administration to Beaumont, but comes without factional aftermath. Dr. Bogart said Tuesday morning: "The new council will have more to say after it is organized and has time to size up the situation.

This much can be said for myself, and I believe I am speaking for the council as well. No startling or revolutionary plans are in view. The city's business will proceed as usual. Those who preceded us office are a friends and neighbors in whom we have confidence, and whose administration we have supported. They have done much for Beaumont and we want to go ahead where they have begun.

"It is usual for constituents to ask officers what they will do. We turn the matter and ask the citizens of Beaumont what they intend in suport of their adminisplan give progressive, We government the to faith the of the commu- voters, but more yet, to have the men and women believe in themselves individually and collectively to the performance of constructive and progressive measures. "I feel that the public will respond; and that we shall all work together to build Beaumont, without spectacular effects but with permanent growth. We represent no groups and no platforms except, making a good city better."

Biggin of Redlands Announces Intention to Seek Reelection REDLANDS, April 11. Announcement was made today by George S. Biggin of Redlands that he will become a candidate for reelection to another term as supervisor of the third district of San Bernardino county. Supervisor Biggin has served eight years, during which time he has been active as head of the county's road committee. His principal work on the county board has been to provide better roads from the limited funds allowed for such improvements.

The county election is to be held in August, and if Supervisor Biggin should receive a majority of all votes cast at that primary, he would be elected at that time. Such was the outcome at the primary election four years ago. Mr. Biggin has been active in the business administration of county affairs, and he points with pride to the fact that San Bernardino county's tax rate has not risen like the rates in many other counties of California. Redlands especially appreciates Supervisor Biggins' aid in the construction and improvement of highways which lead to and through this community.

County aid in financing a portion of the cost of these county thoroughfares which pass through Redlands has won many friends here for the county road supervisor. Similarly, he has helped other communities located on county highways in all sections of this county, and has not confined his efforts to his own district. URGES CITY TO SUPPORT SHOW National Poultry, Rabbit Event Would Attract Attention of America, Nott Declares REDLANDS, April 11. Staging an elaborate national poultry and rabbit show annually would make Redlands famous throughout the United States, declared Harry T. Nott today at the meeting of the chamber of commerce directors.

"It would be an easy matter to obtain enough entries to fill a structure like San Bernardino's Orange Show building," Mr. Nott declared. Interest in such an event, he averred, would be to such a great extent that Redlands could easily stage a national rabbit and poultry show which would attract exhibits from all parts of the nation. "There is no community in America better situated for such an exposition--we have the climatic advantages and everything else that is required for better stock," Mr. Nott stated.

He called attention to the fact that the poultry and rabbit industry has developed into one of California's big industries. A thousand cars of rabbits and chickens leave Redlands every week for Los Angeles, he said-a fact which few of the chamber directors realized. Mr. Nott stated also that Redlands stock would win first prizes in poultry and rabbit shows anywhere.

Present members of the council are armed with test sheets of state and local chemists who declare that Redlands' mount- in stream water is pure and far superior to most drinking water in this state.
