When residents of Magna appeared before be-fore the commission yesterday, expressing express-ing a unanimous desire on the part of the town for the appointment of Mr. Martin to look after the sanitary conditions condi-tions there, tiie appointment was quickly confirmed. Mr. Martin's salary was fixed at $t0 a month. An echo of the last meeting, however, in which tiie rejection of J. II. Haslam, the appointee of Mr. Stiilman, was made by the ote of Chairman Crabbe and Commissioner Wheeler, and which incited Mr. Stiilman to rfer to Mr. Wheeler as a contemptible traitor, was heard. Tiie appointment of Mr. Martin was hardly more t ir.m confirmed wiien Mr. Wheeler offered the following resolution: Whereas, the Honorable C. F. Still-man, Still-man, at and during the session of this hoard held on Friday, August 4. 1916, without ny cause or excuse, offended the dignity of this board by calling one of its members a contempt! ole traitor, and by other unparliamentary and ungentlemanly loud language and offensive conduct created further offense: of-fense: now, therefore, be it Resolved, That Commissioner Still-man Still-man is requested to retract his statements state-ments and make due apologv to this board for such unbecoming conduct. Mr. "W "heeler asked for a roll call vote on his resolution, but Commissioner Still- , man forestalled this with the statement . that the adoption of the resolution was unnecessary. "If I have said anything." Mr. Still-man Still-man said, "that offends this board or Mr. Wheeler, I desire to apologize for it."
