City Manager Makes Report of
Results lor First Year Most
Satisfactory Showing.
the
It took the Alliance city council al
most half a minute to dispose of a pe
tition presented last evening, shortly
before the hour for the council meet
ing, to City Clerk Grace II. Kennedy
iu ner home by Dr. CJ. J. Hand and
Jrormer Mayor A. 1). Kodgers. There
were almost 500 signatures to the pe
tition, which requested the council to
reduce the city manager's salary.
Without discussion, and without a dis
ent.ng vote, the petition was laid tin
the table.
The petition set forth that since the
employment of the city manager, all
) ; . .,.,1 ..... . i i i
.luced from 40 to 5u per cent; that '
taxes are now IS per cent holier than 1
they were in the nays before the wav:
that the salary of the city manager is
excessive, and that the additional in
crease, as provided in the contract with
him, will be a burden, that with all
tue respect to the city manager, the
.petitioners believe that the salary paid
Jiim and the expenses of conducting
the city administration "will be and be
come" burdensome upon the taxpayers;
.and lastly, that the council can em
ploy a city manager lor less money
than they are now paying, and one
vho "would be more etlicient than
the present city manager.''
The petition has been circulated for
the pa.-.t lew weeks, and the names
:ind addresses indicate that it 1 as
been presented to all parts of the city.
T ne signatures included a large number
oi women, but there are comparatively
lew business men and practically none
of the large taxpayers of the city.
The council's summary dispo.-al cf
the matter was probably due m large
measure to the fact that under its
contract with City Manager Kemmish,
it would be impossible to change the
salary, even if there were any dis
position to do so. Mr. Keminish was
contract providing lor an annual in
employed lor a four-year term, with a
crease, with a maximum salary lor
the last year of $6,500. The' salary
for the first year, just concluded was
$5,000, and the councilman are more
than satisfied with the result?.
More Than Saved Salary.
City Manager Kemmish has, during
his year in Alliance, more than saved
his salary. When he t ok over the ad-
ministration, a year ago, ne nnei iteu -
...... i . i. ... '
home soil in lush, vwicu uu uiiyain
lettered warrants were deducted
from the cash on hand, and according -
to the report made to the council la.-t
right, a preliminary survey of.the ad
ministration finances shows a cash bal
ance of over f!i,000, even after his sal
ary is paid. In addition, Mr. Kem-mi.-h
has accomplished wonders iu the
way of straightening out the city's
financial muddles; and has provided
for sinking funds to pay off bonded
indebledne.-s, as well as meeting all ob
ligations as they have come du'j dur
ing the year.
The council, it may be well to state,
ha- no intention of hampering Mr.
Kemmish in his work, and the mem
bers are very well satisfied with the
contract they have made, and mQ ro
tie-ire to ca.t about for a man who
will undertake to do the work lor less
rinnev. The matter of a suitable sal
ary was thrc.-hed out at the time the
city manager plan was installed, and
it was realized that it would take
money to eet the kind or a man they
wr.nted. The results have justified the
expense, in the opinion of the council,
who are proud of Mr. Kemmish's Jec
ird and are behind him to a man.
Report for the Year.
Mr. Kemmish is now engaged in for
mulating a report of the year's accom
plishments. A preliminary survey cov
ering operating revenue compares the
citv records for the fiscal years ending
.May 1, 1018 to 1022. The figures give
the actual money received by the city
treasurer during the years mentioned,
and the expenditures are the amount
of warrants drawn on the various
fund . .-.x,.
The comparison is most flattering to
the city manager and the city man
ager plan, and should be sufficient to
convince even the petitioners that they
are getting something for the money
expended in the city manager's sal-
ThA rvords show that in 1916,
the receipts were $22,201.79 and the
av- rvowrli till S39.216.62. leaving a
deficit of S17.044.K3. In the fiscal year
ending May 1, 1917, there was a deficit
of sTo,955.17;'in 1918, $12,782 47 more
was spent than was received during
the year; in 1919. there was a record
deficit of $21,544.14, and this was the
vear that $42,000 refunding bonds
were voted to put the city's finances
on their feet and foursquare with the
world. In 1920, after these bonds were
sold, the city finances came out ahead
of the game, with a net balance above
" i " Jna'nf Sn.275.04. In 1920, the
city 'spent $1,397.83 more than it re-
-,a Then th citv manager plan
was adopted. The first year under
manawr Dlan shows a cash
balance of $3,840.26 above all ex

ten-day vacation winch all of these
place., have been enjoying came to an
end this morning lor lour of them,
the fifth, the Alliance Bdliard pallor,
owned by George A. Lookis, being de
nied a permit to do business. The
council granted three months' licenses
to Everett Cook, E. G. Kayle, V. J.
Simpson and Joe Smith. At the end
oi tiie three months, the council w.ll
again consider the licence ijuestion,
and if the places have been conducted
with ilue regard to the rules and reg
ulations made and provided, will ex
tend the permit to cover tiie remain
der of the j ear.
City Manager Kemmish has the fol
lowing comment concerning the pool
hail problem:
"The pool hall operators were
warned some time ago ihat no licenses
would be forthcoming unless tluy
could show a clean record. Apparent
ly some of them did not consider this
very seriously until tr.ey wue given
the ten-day vacation. The council,
however, wants to deal faiily with the
jiol room operators. They feel that
b ygranting those three months' li
cences, the pool hall men will be giv
en an opportunity to show the coun
cil whether they intend to carry out
the policies and regulations as desired.
"Any pool hall not having a clean
record during the three months' pe
riod will have a slim change of get
ting their licenses renewed. Among
the regulations governing the opera
tion of the pool halls, no gamblers or
bootleggers will be tolerated in the
place. In operating the pool tables,
all games are to be played upon 4
game basis and no tables will be
rented by the hour in the future. This
has been the practice in some of the
places.
Firemen Out of Politics.
Ed Brennan, president of the Alli
ance volunteer fire department, stated
that it had been reportea inai cer
tain men in the fire department had
taken it upon themselves to represent
hiit the recent nolitical activities are
the policies ol tne Alliance yuiuhiw
firemen, without any authority from
the department to do so. Mr. Brennan
presented the council wun me jouuw
ing motion adopted by the firemen at
Vioi t-eiriiinr metintr on May 10: "I
move you that it be expressed as the
snu and Dolicv of this department
that we, as a department, take part
in no political activity; and that we,
as a department, exercise in no way
any political influence over any
member.
The council unanimously passed a
resolution commending the fire boys
for the stand taken and assuring them
that the council appreciated their ef
forts and the work they are doing.
OPENING GAME
OF HOME TEAM
SUNDAY JAY 21
ALLIANCE TO PLAY MIX AT A HE
AT FAIR GKOCNDS. I
Manager Harold Snyder Has Number
of Games Lined I'p for the
Alliance Team.
Manager Harold Snyder of the Alli
ance baseball team has announced that
four games have been secured for the
team, and that the opening game will
be played Sunday, May 2l, with Min-
ataie at the lair ground here. The
game will be called at 3 p. m., and j
a big turnout is hoped for. The Min-
auue aimeies are reported to have a:,u,'cneis inemseives can neip stage,
last team, and .from past perform-1 l he committee was appointed at the
ances this seems easily possible. Min- ''ist weekly, luncheon or the Alliance
atare has always been more or less ' chamber of commerce, and will rcn
prominent in baseball circles, andjder its report at the luncheon next
there is little doubt that the onening' Monday. Since the business men iren-
game will be a real battle. I
the second game will be with Mor -
rill at Alliance on May 2S. Morrill'
is one of the two undelcated teams in
the Platte Valley league and they have
always led the valley towns in ama
teur baseball. This should be another
good game. '
The third game is scheduled for
Decoration day, May 30, with lieming
ford on the Hemingford diamond. A
return game with Minatare is on the
schedule for June 4. This will, of
course, be at Minatare.
The lineup of games so far is very
good, all of the teams on the schedule
being of some class, and some strong
contests are looked for. The prospects
for the Alliance tiam are very pleas
ing, nio. t of last year's players being
back and there is also a numler of
new candidate, some of whom are
showing up very well. With a team
of this sort, the proper support should
purely be given by the people of Alli
ance. It was planned to make the opening
game the coming Sunday with Hem
liigiord, the proceeds to go as bene
fits for a local candidate for a trip
to France, but this game was called
off this morning, and it is understood
that the benefit feature has been dis
pensed with.
The Probable Lineup.
"Chuck" GritTls, captain of the team,
will play first base, and "Stub" Fe
ning will pitch. Clyde . -Hukin,
catcher, will probably olficiat behinu
the plate. Bert Slattery will play
short. The other positions have not as
vet leen definitely decided. W.r.c
- - .
(jeoVR0 Nation and other former play-
er9 w;il probably be on hand, and will
make a strong bid lor their old jods.
1 nere are also a number of new
players, including Ralph Garvin and
Lester Cross, high school athletes.
The team has been working out prac
tically every night and will probably
present a smooth working aggregation
when they take the field for the open
ing game.
I ne players' uniforms have arrived,
these being white with a blue thread
stripe. Enough have been ordered u
fully outfit the team and all the sub
stitutes. Princc's Tracksters
Left This Noon
for State Meet
Prince's tracksters left today f"i'
Lincoln, where they will take part in
the state track meet. Those making
the trip aie Frank Dailey, Cecil Beal,
Mike O'Connor, Philip Killian and Cap
tain Lee Strong. The Alliance 'cam,
which won the championship of west
ern Nebra.-ka, is slated as one of the
strongest contenders in group 2, this
being the group in which the locals
were nlaced. Dailey and Beal should
have excellent chances of taking first
nn.l second in the 10U and UliU as these
two have been running neck and neck
nil season. Dailev beatintr his team
mate to the tape by about a yard.
Strong and Beal have both run the
half mile in 2:0S, and this is fast
enough to place anywhere. Dailey has
run the high hurdles as xasi as me
state record, and he should stand well
in the state compet.
The field events will be the weak
part of the local team, although Dailey
has an excellent chance of placing in
the pole vault and broad jump. Strong
and Beal make a good combination in
the 440, both running this distance
around 55 seconds, anil either can
probably improve on this. From al
indications the blue and white should
place high in the state meet.

The altercation took place at tne

Plan to Take a Special Secret Ballot

The ownership of the Ford touring
car awarded as a prize during the Al-'

but 'did not participate in the giving

At his request it was deemed in.u uie
matter of ownership of the prize car
should le decided by the merchants
who gave it away. Mr. Walker cinu-
luted a paper among these merchants

his argument and declare that they
lielieve him entitled to the car. The
winning number was secured from the
Dierks Lumber company with a pur
chase of coal by Mr. Walker.
Twenty-four is exactly half of the
merchants who were interested in the
' drawing. Mr. Walker states that a
number of others have told him that
thev are in favor or Kiving ine prize
to him. but these are loin 10 sign meir
names for various reasons. Some of
those who ruled Mr. Walker out should
do the gigging uaca u wieie ia j
of it to be done.
It Is understood that an attempt will
