Dr.

Roland R. Cross, state director of public health, announces. "There is no. of engaging any private Individual or company for the purpose of obtaining a copy of any Illinois birth Dr. Cross stated.

"The regular 50-cent statutory fee for a certified copy of a birth is the only charge made by the state for this service." Births registered since 1 191G are recorded in the Hits of the state department of public health.

"Anyone' born in downstate Illinois who requires a birth certificate will receive directly from the state department of public health or from the county clerk precisely as good service as might be obtained for him by any hired intermediary.

Some ore asking whether the nppoinl merit will affect their wnnt to know how tho new appointment will nffect department of justice policies. The result D. J. buMiirss has betn nlmwst at standstill ever since Attorney General Jackson was appointed nr-MX'iate justice of the Supreme court on June 12.

A Few VugRrls Trying to shift fact from rumor te a little like panning for Rold where there isn't any but there are a few worth considering. For example, it is a foregone conclusion in most speculative circles that Francis Biddle. the deep- browed, mustachioed, tweedy solicitor general will get the post and that Charles Fahy. his assistant, will named solicitor general. If such was pre-ordained (and the Jackson appointment was so certain that it is impossible to conceive that his successor had not already been delay? Only two reasons have been advanced.

One is that the President is waiting to "how the administration will get along with Biddle." This is- almost too silly to merit consideration. Diddle and the President were ciaf-smates, Groton and Harvard. And although Biddle wandered to the Bull Moose camp for Roosevelt 1 in he was well enough in line with the new deal in 1936 to be chairman of the campaign speakers' commltu-c. Although he is a little hard to tag in his political philosophy, as new deal solicitor general he. has batted .937 in successful handling of cases before the Supreme court.

Maybe Murphy Wants It The second reason holds more water. That is. that the President has wavered before pressure groups seeking to swing the job to some one else. There is, for instance, Frank Murphy, The story goes that Murphy's 18 months on the Supreme court have convinced him he wants no part of the quiet Judicial life. He wants to be back in the thick of Both Murphy and Murphy's friends are believed to have urging the President to return him to the post he once held.

Then there is Thurman Arnold. whose trust-busting has made him something more of a national figure than the solicitor general. And Federal Security Administrator V. McNutt, whose i friends have been" urging him to make a play for the post and undoubtedly speaking to the President in his behalf. It is known, however, that McNutt doesn't want the job.

Although politically ambitious. McNutt Is said to feel that his present job Is a better one. The attorney general may make the headlines much more frequently, but when he does, it must be in his capacity as prosceutor of the laws of the land and prosecutors make enemies, Two. Versions There the matter rests, with the President apparently waiting for two Job for Aa- sociate Justice Murphy which he will like better than being on the Supreme court or than again being attorney general, and i2) waiting for the pressure group ,10 get used to the idea that their men, for one reason or another, arc not being considered. Of course stranger things have happened in politics than a "slated" man dike Biddle) failing to get the job.

Pressure groups sometimes do win out. -The interesting thing is that only three times in 71 years has any similar situation caused the department of justice to go headless for so long. -o i i me while I drown saves me 3 o'clock every day!"

Two of the Sjoys will be 'the representatives of the district and the third wiH be the alternate. The meet starts at 5 p. m. Plan to Start Work Soon; More Money Is Needed to Complete Contracts for the construction of Morrison's new 16-bed municipal hospital were awarded by the hospital board Friday afternoon and the local residents will be asked to vote an bond issue to make up the shortage in the present funds.

The contract for the building was awarded to Daniel Haring of Clinton, for $27.120. SrnalU brothers of Morrison receved the plumbing and heating contract amounting to $5.814. and J. W. Lasher of Morrison was awarded the electrical wiring contract for $1.347.

Willis Hubbard of Rockford. who was employed as the architect for the hospital, plans to start work on the grade stakes the first part of next week and the contractor expects to have his force at work the following week. If the work is not held up because of the lack of materials, the building should be competed about the first of the year. Shortage Aboat S7.000 The contracts let Friday afternoon totaled $35,481 and with the architect's fees will make a shortage of about $7,000 over the $30,000 which the qitj' now has available. Rather than delay the building of the hospital further, the hospital board decided to let the contracts and then ask the city council to call a special election to submit the proposition of Issuing an additional $10.000 in bonds to cover the deficit.

decision of the hospital board, Robert Norrish, president, Claus Renkes. secretary, and B. L. Kleinschrodt. to proceed with the work in the face of the deficit, was made after many discussions of the matter and talks with local residents.

Many Pledge Gifts They reasoned that the local residents want the hospital because of the overwhelming majorities which the hospital tax and bonds received at the elections this spring. In addition many persons and organizations have pledged donations and gilts The hospital site on East Knox street, the excavation for the building, the operating room equipment, eight hospital rooms 'and other things are in the list of donations and gifts. Plans and specifications for the new hospital have been completed and approved by the state. The building will be fireproof and all of the floors will be covered with ter- The building will be a one story structure, but because it is being built into a hilfc the basement can be utilized as a floor. Election This i'ear Although the plans have been completed, it is believed by the board that some economies can be made during the construction which will cut down the amount of the deficit.

residents will be asked to vote on a $10.000 bond issue late in the fall or early to the winter, but the board does not iieiieve that it will be necessary to sell the entire issue.
