His decision was announced the regular council meeting last Saturday night, when he presented his resignation, which was accepted. Gates took the oath of office January 3rd, when all newly elected officials were sworn in. After a few deliberation he ma.de his decis- ion to resign, giving as his reason his duties at his place of work would prevent giving his undivided attention. , Miss Violate Johnson, assistant cashier of the First State Bank of Salina, was named by the members of the council to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Gates. Miss Johnson, who served two terms as city treasurer, is highly . capable and efficient, having filled the office with credit to the city and to herself. The naming of Miss Johnson was immediately approved and filing bonds and going through formality of installing her as the treasurer wras completed at Sat- evenings session. The appointive officers, which was to have the attention of the new council, was not fully carried out at Saturday night meeting. Dr. C.

"The naming a city marshal and watermaster, which are to be combined in one of- fice, was postponed, as was the selec- -' tion of a superintendent of water ' works, sexton, poundkeeper, supervis- -' or of streets and justice of the peace,! until a later meeting. In another column of the Sun will be found a notice calling for bids on the unfilled appointive office. Testimony and claims asked by the Salina Telephone company for an crease in rates within the territory served by the company, was taken before members of the public utilit-a- t ies commission at the offices of the Piute Reservoir & Irrigation company Wednesday afternoon. Judge Corf-Mman and Don 0. Rich, memers of the commission. Miles Cahoon of the Mountain States Telephone company,-daySalt Lake City, and Chester Olsen, president of the local telephone com-thpany,- Dr. A. J. Lewis and Leland Payne, were among those attending the hearing. The Salina Telephone eonjpany has petitioned the state utilities commis- sion for permission to increase the service rates, and at the meeting Wednesday a volume of data was given before the commissioners, which it was contended, would greatly increase the system and result in better service. At present residence phone charges are $1.50 per month, and business house of private lines are $3.00. In the application to the com-th- e mission the local company asked y mission to increase residence or y party lines to $2, while the increase or. business house phones would be raised to $4 per month. The increase would include the telephones at e ina, Redmond and Aurora. No decision was made by members 0f the utilities commission at the meeting, after the submission of evi-o- f dence was given by the officers of the local telephone company. The utility commissioners will take the matter under advisement and will render a decision later. at The new notes will be 6 by 6 inches whereas the notes now in circulation are 7 8 by 3 inches. By the change the government expects to save $2,000,000 annually. The reduction in size of the bills is expected to increase the capacity of the bureau of engraving and printing by 50 percent because 12 of the smaller notes can be printed at one impression upon the same press which now prints but eight. Through the change in size the bills will be made more convenient to handle and will also be more durably. The new notes will slip into a bill fold or pocket, it is claimed, without creasing or folding, and for this reason are expected to have much longer life than those now in use. The life of the average bill is not more than six or seven months, treasury officials say. Folding is one of the chief items cutting short the life of paper money. Designs of the bills are also to be standardized.

M. McCrea, it was announced Saturday according to the Tribune. Judge McCrea was recently appointed by Governor George II. Dern, at the request of the parties to the litigation,- as the judge to complete the hearings in this suit. One phase of the suit was heard a couple of years ago before Judge Elias Hansen, who is now a member of the state supreme court, but his elevation to the supreme bench made it necessary to obtain another judge to proceed with the hearings. In regard to the claims regarding which Judge McCrea issued the order referred to, it was explained at the office of George M. Bacon, state engineer, Saturday, that under the provisions of the law and notices given heretofore all claims had to be filed by Januqry 2, 1926. All claims so filed are included in the state engineers proposed determination, it was stated. The law also provide' that the court may, in its discretion, allow claims to be filed after this date, Mr. Bacon said, but it is obivious that other interested parties will have no knowledge of these claims except by a successive examination of the files of the clerk of the court. The state engineer pointed out that, as other parties in interest should be advised of this matter, the publication of the fact of the claims having been filed, with a rough outline of their subwill clear up this point. stance, on denominations the different pear and the various kinds of notes.
