LOCAL COMMENT.
Observation-Disclosures,

Christmas is only five days off and
still there is no snow.
This is the time Of year when the
little boy must be very. very good, il
he eNpec1s visit from old Saint
Nick" The little girls, of course, are
always good.
The little town of Dixie. in Grundy
county IS the latest addition to the
ranks of the Marshalltown interurban
proposition. The citizens will vote on
the franchise ordinance next month.
and there is no doubt but that the
franchise Will carry by a large ma
jority.
One snudders to think of what
might have been the outcome of the
terrible explosion of dynamite, which
resulted at the reservoir site this
week. The escape of the workmen was
miraculous. and can only be accounted
for by the hand of Providence.
If one cares to observe the standing
of Marshalltown as a trade center, A
visit to either of the railway stations,
or any of the feed yards of the city,
should be made these days. Saturday
is the big day, naturally, but almost
any evening at the depots will show a
careful observer that Marshalltown's
stores have been thronged with pur-
chasers from other towns. A great
many from distant points prefer to do
their trading on any other day but Sat-
urday, ia order TO avoid the rush that
is always anticipated on the last day
of the week, which is the one invaria
bly, selected by the farming community
to do it's shopping. A we'll known lady
from a town north Of the city said
this week that she had usually traded

The various lines in which she was
interested.
General interest will be manifested
thruout the county in the result of the
Investigations OF John r. Boylan, the
government rural route agent, who is
inspecting the proposed new routes
out of the several towns. Mr.. Boylan
Went over the routes a year ago next
spring, and it was thought at that time
that by fall the new routes would be
ordered established. Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow however,
has some ideas of his own concerning
rural routes, and is requiring the Local
ton of at least 100 families on a
route. This demand will undoubtedly
curtail the number of routes in the
county, should the government decide
to order them established, but at the
same time II will give Marshall county
practically a complete service, and
make 1t one OF the banner rural route
counties of the state.
Marshalltovn is going to bring an
lection of road tax levied within the
corporate limits of the city, and on
roads adjacent thereto, as required by
law. The council has authorized the
city solicitor TO proceed with the suit,
and the probabilities are that it viii
be flied for the January term. The
law states that the road tax levied
by the county Within the corporate
limits of any city, shall be expended
for the Improvement of the streets of
suchscity and the roads adjacent
thersto. under the supervision OF the
board OF supervisors, at the direction of
the city council. The provisions of
the law. the city will claim. have not
been lived up to by the county. in that
the money has not been expended on
the streets OF Marshalltown. and that
the city council has not been asked
to make any direction whatevereas to
where the improvements shall be made
The tax levy for the past ten years ag-
gregates a total of little over Sl2.-
900.
While City Solicitor Van Law Is
confident that the city has good case,
County Attorney Northup is as certain
that there is no cause for action
against the county. The supervisors
Will claim that an agreement was made
between the council and the board of
supervisors. several years ago, and
that the county has lived up to this
agreement in every particular. The
agree rnent was in effect that In lieu
of the read tax levy the county would
board city prisoners. at no expense
to the city, and place them at work
on the stone pile. The stone was to
be.used within the city wherever found
necessary for the Improvement of the
streets. The supervisors claim that
they have spent Thousands of dollars
filing In low streets within the city,
and on roads leading to town. and that
If balance were struck, the city
would be found to be the debtor.
