MARKET HOUSE TO BE PAINTED
coon OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
THE TOWN CLOCK STATED.
Examination shows That There Are
Only Few Repairs Needed and the
Cost Would be Very small.

The joint committee, composed of
Mr.. A. L. Russler. from the Odd
Fellows, f. ID. Staley, from the
Masons and Lewis III. Thompson, from
the CITY council, each having been
previously appointed, met Wednesday
evening and after coming to definite
agreement. signed the specification
for the painting OF the market house
building. the bids for which are TO
be in by Thursday, August 90. The
mater Of the painting of the bnilding
was brought before the council and it
was referred to the real estate commit
tee with the recommendation to confer
with the lodges that occurv the second
story of the structure, to see if the
painting could not be done joint
ly. The committee was successful
in their efforts and the building will
nom be painted, which it has been in
need of for number of years.
While that great needed improve
ment is being done. the council should
not forget that there is another i'm
provement needed as badly as the
painting of the bnilding, and that is
the repairing and running of the old
town clock. This at present is an
evesore TO the CITY and visitors throw
very sluring remarks TO the city fathers
for allowing it to remain in the condi-
ton that it is at present. There is not
resident nf this city who would not
like to see the clock. which has been
standing idle for number of wears,
once more started.
1t would be an excellent time to
make the repairs while the scaffoling
is up for the painters, aud the cost
would be very small. Some enterpris-
ing residents have gone so far as to
have the works of the clock examined
in order to see if the expense to the
council would be large. and it was
found that they were in good condi-
ton. only needing a thorough clean
ing and the hands replaced If the
old grievance between the lodge and
the council is still in existence, as to
the entering of the room to wind the
clock, it would be a very small matter
to have ladder constructed on the
outside so that il could be reached.
The matter could anyhow he brought
before the council at their next meet
ing, and they would certainly consider
it. If the clock cannot be started to
run, it should be taken down and dis.
posed of and the faee be painted over,
so that ii would not look in such di-
iapidated condition as at present and
be source of slurs TO the city by visi-
tors. The matter should be taken up
and given-a trial at least.

determined effort is being made to get every
workman in the yard into labor union the
government in the past has had little trouDie
