WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE |?

In the supervisors minutes of April 6, 1903, it was stated that w. $. Robinson of Flagstaff had been paid $S4010 as administrator, care of indigent sick and meals for pris- oners. A couple of weeks since the NEWS called attention to this fact, also stating that no contract had been awarded MT. Robinson for the performance of such services, and that the bill appeared to be exorbi- tant. In the face of a law covering this point we fail to understand why the board allowed such a bill, and for the information of the pub lie will quote a portion of the law :: Par. 1929, Sec. 1O2 "In each coun- ty of this territory the care of the indigent sick of the county, in- cluding medical attendance, med cine, food. lodging and clothing, shall be let to the best responsible bidder by the board of supervis- ors, after due publication asking for sealed bids or proposals, * to be published and posted at least ten days before awarding said con- tract"
 As stated before, no notice ask ing for bids for this service has been published, so it would appear not been complied with. If Mr. Robinson's bill was exorbitant, steps should be taken to recover, and a contract let for the further performance of such duties.

LET SOME ACTION BE TAKEN! !

THE NEWS has waited and waited, hoping that some action would be taken by the town council regard ing the indecent actions and expos ures that are carried on right under our noses on the main street of the town Tourists visiting the town and stopping at the Grand Canyon hotel, the leading house, are com pelled to witness scenes that would not be tolerated anywhere else but in Williams. We have no desire to see anyone forced out of busi- ness, but some action should be taken and places which harbor peo
 pie of questionable character should be moved from the central portion to the outskirts of the town. Did the trunks, etc., remain on the in side, out of sight, the thing would not be so bad but at almost any hour of the day sights can be seen on Bill Williams avenue that we should be ashamed to allow to take place in the view of strangers, to say nothing of our wives, sisters and daughters. It is not at all safe for lady to proceed east on Bill Williams avenue beyond Second street, as she knows not at what moment she may be subject to in suit. These places could just as well be operated, if they must be at all, a couple of blocks further east where a free rein could be given them. But let us, for the sake oi decency, take some action. There are those who argue that for the protection of the home such places are necessity. Granting that this be so. let us further protect the home by removing to a safe dis tance anything that is liable to con- taminate it, even by sight. The members of the council should not allow their personal business mat ters to prejudice them in this mat ter, but should perform their duties by the citizens as they would like to have others do by them.

WILLIAMS IS
 TO CELEBRATE
The Fourth of July in Grand Style This Year. Sport
 For Three Days.

At a meeting of a majority of the representative business men and citizens of Williams, held Thurs day evening at Johnston's billiard hall, to discuss the subject as to whether we should celebrate the Fourth of July this year, it was unanimously decided so to do. Dr. Tyroler was elected to the chair and c. A. Neal was made perma- nent secretary of the celebration committees. It was ordered that three committees, each comprising three members one member of each of which shall be member of and comprise a central commit tee) should be selected by Dr. Ty- roller. After considerable thought regarding the selection of men most fit to act in the various places, the doctor has handed us the following list of committees and the members of each:
 Finance-Dr. A. Tyroler, George G. Wharton and B. F. Sweetwood.
 Entertainment-Dr. F. H. Waite, c. M. Wolf and H. Pyle.
 Advertising and Transportation Joseph Johnston, M. Salzman and c. A. Neal.
 Messrs. Tyroler, Waite and John ston, acting as chairmen of their respective committees, will act also as a central committee, to which body the actions of the various other committees will be reported In this manner it is believed more thorough and successful effort will be brought forth, while the central body will be kept in direct touch with the doings of the others
 It was suggested that a canvass be made of the representatives ot the business firms present, with a request that a statement be made of the amount each would con. tribute. Roughly speaking, there is now in sight between $1200, ano $500 withowhich to carry'out the plans proposed, which will enable good purses to be offered for the various events during the three-day celebration, July 4, 5 and 6. :.
 Outdoor sports of all kinds will be pulled off, while as a side issue an excursion will be run to the Grand Canyon. It was decided al the meeting that all contributions must be paid in not later than June 15 in order to give the committees better idea as to what they can do. The members of the finance committee will wait upon the few who were absent from the meeting to give them an opportunity to show their patriotism and loyalty to the town, and the result can only be that Williams will pull off the greatest Fourth of July celebration in her history.

THERE is great need of three bridges being constructed across Cataract creek, as that wash is in bad condition, caused by the recent flood. We understand that there is not a great amount of money in the city treasury, and as the license tax collections are barely sufficient to meet the necessary expenses of the city, it appears as if a small
