WHO FOR CITY OFFICERS?

The officers to be elected this spring
in Great Bend are, a Mayor, City
Marshal, City Police Judge,
Street Commissioner, two Justices Of
the Peace, two Constables, Treasurer
of the School Board, tour Council
men, and four Mem bers of the School
Board-one of each from each Of the
four wards of the city-17 city officers
all told. Say, this is going to be
quite an election.
Who shall we select to fill all these
positions, is the question that each
voter will be called upon to answer.
We hope the voters will answer:
"Good and honorable men all We
want the city affairs to be in the hands
of our very best citizens; men who
will permit her to take no backward
step, who will 60 into no extravigance
and permit no fayoritism in the
administration of public affairs.
Fhe republican organization of the
city has, by holding their straight
and strict party convention on Tues
day evening (the result of which can
be found elsewhere In this paper
assumed that it is best to make the
election of these city officers a test of
political atrength. They, as strict
party men, have thrown down the
gauntlet to all people and virtually
said. The officers of the city of Great
Bend shall be republicans; party
organization demands it, and party
leaders will see that it shall occur"
If the majority of voters think that
way, well and good. If, on the other
hand, majority of the voters think
that the good of the taxpayers, the
welfare of the city, is of more import
ance than "party organizations" then.
by attending the mass convention to
be held to- night, and assisting to
name for city officers the best men
possible, regardless of what ticket
they may have voted heretofore OF
may hereafter vote, and by working
honestly for the good of the city al
ALL times, then they can win a vic
tory on the 9th of April that will
rebound to the good of the city, aud
will not be heralded abroad as a
''political victory"
Because the majority of voters in
Great Bend are in politics republican
is no reason why the majority viii
willingly turn city affairs over to th,
politicians. The voter who looks to
his own and his city's interests viii
vote for none but honest and capabI,
men on either ticket.

CLAYTON KICKS
Fails to See Why the Council Regards
Him as "Irresponsible"

3. B. Clayton, the contractor, who at
the last meeting Of the council, on rec
ommendation Of the board of public
works, was declared an irresponsible
pidder," has addressed communication
to the city fathers, asking reconsidera-
lion OF their action. He declares that he
never 'oefaulted" in work done by him
Tor the city, and says that 1t was through
no fault Of his that the improvements
on bauchet street, done by him, have not
been accepted, for the street is as good
piece OF work as there is in the city.
Again, he has never been in arrears
IN payment Of wages to men employed
by him on public work, as had been
charged; neither was he ever partner
with one Mccormick, who is also a per-
soma non grata with the board of pub
lie works-that is, he was never in mart
nership with him in city work.
He was the lowest bidder on the i'm
provement of Eastlake and Towne av-
enues, contracts for which were award
ed last Monday, and being the lowest
and no good reason existing for the
councils having declared him an ire :.
eponsible bidder the contracts were bv
1t Illegally awarded. In conclusion Mr.
Clayton asks the honorable body to look
Into his statements and reconsider its
action which to him Is 90 injurious.

BOULEVARD PETITIONS
ANOTHER ONE FINDS IT'S WAY
TO THE CITY HALL
The Finance Committee Recommends
Changes in the Fire Department.
Contractor Clayton's Kick

Some seventy-five property owners on
Spring, Main and Los Angeles streets
yesterday hled q communication to the
council asking that steps be taken to
secure not one, but two, openings for
the proposed boulevard to Pasadena
from the plaza. It will be noticed in
perusal that the routes as outlined both
center at East Side park, one being for
what il called the Adobe road, the other
to 80 out Buena Vista street. This step
would seem to indicate that the Pasa-
dena avenue and Arroyo Seco route pro-
moters are to be left out in the cold, as
it is expressly provided that "Buena
Vista street be widened and improved
and continued through East Los Angeles
to the East Side park, route to be here
after designated"
This will probably precipitate another
red hot fight before the board Of public
works at the next hearing, Friday, as
the petition will undoubtedly be refer
red to that body for recommendation.
The petition in full reads as follows:
We, the undersigned property owners
and residents, respectfully petition your
honorable body to take the necessary
steps and proceedings for the purpose
Of opening and constructing boulevard
120 feet in width, running from the plaza
and connecting with the adobe road at
the city limits in as near direct line
as possible, and upon the route recon-
mended by the engineers Of the Los An
geles and Pasadena boulevard commit
tee, with such changes as further inves-
tigation may show to be desirable. In
fixing this route it is our desire, and we
would request your honorable body to
be governed in the determination Of the
same by the committee constituting a
portion of the Los Angeles and Pasadena
boulevard committee, aided by the fol-
lowing committee appointed by the
property holders on Main, Spring and
Los Angeles streets: +. W. Braun, Will
liam Ferguson, H. w. Hellman, Victor
Ponet, Alfred H. Wilcox.
We further petition that another
boulevard be started by opening a new
street from the plaza on direct course
to Buena Vista street at it's junction
with Bellevue avenue, provided that
,Buena Vista street be widened and i'm
proved and continued through East Los
Angeles to the East Side park upon a
route to be hereafter designated. Said
new street from the plaza to the junction
Of Bellevue avenue and Buena Vista
street to be Of the same width as Buena
Vista street when widened; and that an
assessment district be formed for the
opening and improving of the boulevard
from the plaza to East Side park, and
for the new street from the plaza to the
junction of Buena Vista street with
Bellevue avenue, and that another and
separate assessment district be formed
for the widening and improving of
Buena Vista street continued through
East Los Angeles to the East Side park

NEW JERSEY FLOODS.
RUINED CROPS, WRECKED RAIL
ROADS AND BARNS.
Anxious Hours Passed in the Night,
Electric Light Plants Having
Been Inundated.

New York, July 29.-The floods which
did such damage in New Jersey yester-
day have somewhat receded today. In
their wake is trail of wrecked barns,
ruined crops, impaired railroad tracks
and all traces of fullfedged deluge.
At Elizabeth. which feared worst of
ALL the waters which filled the streets
to a depth in some places of eight feet
began TO ebb IN tn- early morning.
The night mad been one OF anxiety. The
city's electric light plant had been in
undated, the trolley cars stopped, and
almost all means of land transit TO the
drier and higher surrounding country
had been cut off. The frightened in
habitants of Elizabeth imagined the
danger even greater than it was, and
unfounded rumors spread that the
reservoir had burst.
The electric light company's plant
which lights Elizabeth, Roselle, Gran
ford and Westfield, was flooded and all
through the night these places were in
complete darkness. The pumping station
of the Elizabethtown Water company
had been rendered useless by the flood.

pany sustained damages estimated at
SIS, 600. Lumber firms on the banks of

stocks. An approximate of the losses
