Waldvogel Raps Sherrill on Ouster (Continued from Page One) the expense of a traffic safety engineer had been added recently to support his plea for economy plus efficiency.

Col. Sherrill, who had been out attending a funeral, walked into Council Chamber as Mr. Waldvowel concluded. The measure was given its first reading. Mr.

Gradison asked for postponement for a week. Mr. Waldvogel explained that he had brought the measure before Council because of "publicity given to it." Mr. Waldvogel declared that under Mr. Dykstra the departments of safety and public works were co-ordinated under the separate directors.

He said that under Col. Sherrill there was no pretense of this in the Safety Department, that the city manager himself acted as co-ordinator. As to the Works Department, he said that Mr. Root was often referred to as the "forgotten man" of the administration.

Waldvogel asked. Mr. Gradison explained that 1 he asked for delay because he had AT HOME G. R. ROESSLY, M.

Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne backed up their daughters' decision, and even Judge J. A. Valin, chairman of the Board of Guardians, was taken by surprise.

But the broadcast, directed at prospective tourists from United States, was carried out, and the quintuplets, even in French, were as effective as usual.
