CITY COUNCIL MEETS.
Work layed Out for Street Committee
and Reports Called for,
OTHER MATTERS.

President Harrison presided at the
meeting of the city council last even
ing. Many matters of importance
were discussed and acted upon.
Mayor Myers and Alderman Harsch
were the only members of the official
family that were absent.
The various bills against the city
were referred to the proper commit
tees, and several of them caused AL
derman McMillen to call attention to
the statute, which prohibits any mem
Der of the council from dealing with
or making contracts with the city. In
the past this statute had been en-,
forced and he wanted it to in the fu-
ture.
City Clerk Lee presented his May
report which showed a total of $3.50
collected from licenses and other
sources.
City Marshal McMillin said he was
receiving many requests for permis-
sion to place signs over the sidewalks.
Several business men had been grant.
ed permission to maintain lighted
signs extending more than two feet
over the sidewalk allowed by the or,
dlnance. He wanted more clear un.
derstanding Of it. and the matter was
referred to the street cimmittee.
Pitt Ross, the city engineer, told
the council that there was a bad prac-
tlce going on here; that of putting up
buildings that projected over the
street lines. In other cities this was
not allowed, and it should be stopped
here. The matter was referred TO
the street committee.
A report was asked from the street
committee on the garbage question,
which had been referred to it some
time ago. President Harrison was in
formed that the chairman of the com.
mittee pocketed the bill A report
was also asked from the same com.
mittee on the new street sprinkler, for
which the committee had been in
structed TO get bids. There was no
report. as the chairman was absent.
The street committee was asked TO
report at the next meeting, with a
written report, on the Railroad avenue
crossing over the Santa Fe track, and
also the lights at the same place. AL
derman McMillen said this crossing af.
fair had been hanging fire for several
years, and it was about time it was

DEMING FORGING RIGHT AHEAD.

which live and thrive on them, the

pure water and healthfulness are all
among the substantial factors in max
ing this a beautiful and prosperous
city Look at the map and note the
avenues of trade leading into Deming.
There are many things in common
in the conditions and environments
of this city and those of Denver in
that city's early struggles. In fact, it
does not require very critical com
parison to convince the most skepti.
cal that Deming bears about the same
relation to New Mexico that Denver
does to Colorado, and there are no
plausible reasons why the same re-
suits should not follow. Deming now

and FL Paso furnished a few years
ago. There Is a steady, healthy
growth, and values are already ad.
yancing. though they are still very
low. Now is the opportune time to
buy, before the rapid advance in
prices, which is surely coming.
The colony and sanitarium for con
sumptives, located here, will alone
bring thousands of people a majority
OF whom will regain their health and
remain here. The large smelters and
other manufactures now under con-
sideration will more than double the
population; still these will not be a
drop in the bucket 10 what will come
later. This is the place and the only
place in southwest New Mexico where
large and prosperous city can be
built, and every indication justifes the
conclusion that 1t must come.

nearly ten days, and the universal
verdict is that Judge Parker and Dis
trict Attorney Lewellyn have dis
charged their duties In an able and
satisfactory manner.
We have had good rains and the

should do something or let some one
else. The street committee was Civ
en- charge of the jog in the sidewalks
on Marquette avenue, and to have
power with the city attorney to act
in the matter.
Alderman Beaven said the alley be-
tween Huning and Hazeldine avenues
was rendered impossible by an un-
covered ditch. He wanted to know
If it was going to be fixed or not. AL
German McMllep thought it would be
economy to close all the bitches in the
city limits and thus save cost of re-
pair to bridges and culverts. which
amounts in the course of a year to
more than the cost of building a new
ditch. He sail that he would like to
see Second street graded from one
side of the city to the other, with gut
ters at a set grade so that water
could drain off the street instead of
into the middle of it, He thought
some intelligent system should be
adopted as to grading.

plenty of work before it.
