and Ortego and another Spaniard named
Jose Mosquez, who had a grant adjoi1ing
theirs. he made up, his mind that their title

nembers,

Judge Garretson has appointed the

to see that the town has the very best
sewer system that can be secured for
the least money. The town is to be
congratulated not only in having such

gentlemen have consented to give as
much of their valuable time as this
service will require to the towns
