The new engineer, Mr.. c. F. Homer, is
doing a good deal of city work. If Mr..
Homer continues to be as conscientious
and careful IN this position as he was when
councilman, and we believe he will, his SER
vices will be valuable to the city.
A few arrests for fast riding and driving
our streets would not be amiss, and

The city needs every cent of It's revenue
and we are glad to know that the mayor and a
majority of the council are earnestly DESTROYS
to make it 20 as far as 1t can by careful and
frugal use. 1t is we'll known that one of the
heaviest exp expenditures is the cost of maintain
ing the calabOose. In this, one of the CHIEF
items is the cost for rock to be broken by the
