LOCAL COMMENT.

Inc dog mas again uenlOHStFateu
that he is not entirely useless, even in
city. by giving timely alarm of fire
and preventing the total destruction
of Marshalltown drug store.
The bequest of $1,000 from the late
Bishop Lehman for public charity
hospital In this city was entirely I'M
looked for by the general public.
With this nucleus Rev. NJ. c. Lenihan
| is confident of raising the balance.
Those wives whose husbands ex-
tended them invitations and tickets to
the Tanning of the Shrew" after fail
ing to take them to other entertain
ments this season might have good
reason to suspect there was method in
their liberality.
Marshalltown has a number of valu-
able manufacturing institutions, but
their real worth Is not appreciated
fully until cold figures are presented.
The fact that one institution alone
pays out for raw material the enor-
NOUS sum of $1.e00,oo0 was an eye
opener. 1t is the Britain Packing
Company that expends this sum and
the farmers of the county and ada
cent territory receive the direct
benefit, but much of this money comes
back to the merchants and business
men in return for their wares.
The Organized Charity Society has
received big cash donation just at
a time when it's funds were low and its
ARSn nIaf Il rr LNv VIZ
was to be continued. Marshall lodge
disposal $3.50 in cash, and it is need
less to say that the money will be ex-
pended where it will do the most good.

Now that Superintendent Mack is out
the city council should get together and
work in harmony in procuring a good
man for the position of superintendent
of mains and sewers. In doing so the
question of consolidating the position
with that of chief of the fire department
when that department Is established. is
one worthy of consideration and inves-
tigation. One who is qualified Tor the
position of superintendent is almost
sure to be qualified for the duties of fire
chief. The superintendent is supposed
to be on hand at all fires, as he is some
times needed too look after the water
service, and saving In salary might
be made by the consolidation Of the
two positions.
With new pottery plant. public IL
brary building, the four story house of
the Marshall Oil Company. a modern
depot for the c. G. w. and several 9TH
er buildings sure to be erected the COM
ing summer, and a government build |
ing, a Masonic temple and fire house
fer the paid department assured for the
near future, the next two years Will see
a great change in the general appear
ance of the business and manufacturing |
districts of the city. BY that time the
city will have its sewage disposal plant |
and paid for, and then the
public will demand new city building, |
on its North Center street property.

Further Entertainments on the terri |
tory of Linn township will be necessary
before many years. as two of the addi-
lions recently plated are outside the
present city limits. Both the cracker
factory and pottery plant additions are

are sure to be dotted with new resi-
dences, the necessity of affording these
people the advantages of municipal inn
will come in time.
The encouragement, financial and
moral, extended to the public charity
hospital project being promoted by Rev.
Lenihan and his co-workers shows that
the statement that the institution will
be for the public and will be free to
those unable to pay has been accepted
n good faith.
