REQUIRE STREET CARS To
BE CLEANED AND FUMIGATED
Ordinance Is Also Favored by Super
visors to Stop the Continuous
Ringing of GOngs.


A proposed ordinance was sub-
mitted by Attorney TREY L. Ford of
the United Railroads to the Super
visors' Street Committee yesterday
which provides that street cars shall
be thoroughly washed at least once
a week and swept daily and to disin-
feet the cars whenever there is an
epidemic OF disease. E. Troy objected
to the ordinance as not being suffi-
cient. and it was amended so that the
cars shall be fumigated when the
Health Board shall require II, and in
that shape the measure was recon-
mended for passage by the commit
tee.
The committee recommended the
repeal of the ordinance requiring the
gOngs OF street cars TO be rung con-
tinuously while crossing a street and
the enactment of a new ordinance
providing that the gong shall only be
rCng when the car starts TO cross the
street, as under the new rules cars
stop only at the near cross-walks-

Here's a snap.

til after the presidential election. For
short time only we will send THE RE-
PORTER a full year, and the Chicago
Morning Examiner six months for only
1925. The Examiner is the edition of
the Chicago American, and is recognized
as the best paper published in Chicago.
1t is up-to-date in every department,
and covers the general news field better
than any other paper. Everybody
should read daily paper during the
presidential campaign, and here is an
offer that for cheapness was never
equalled. Remember this offer will
only be open for short time, so if you
want to take advantage of it call or
send in your money at once.

There was considerable surprise Mon
day when it was learned that Judge
Miller had appointed a receiver for the
Bank of Lineville, which was supposed
to be one of the wealthiest institutions
in this part of the state, and there were
some wild rumors in the air about the
bank having failed, but an Investigation
revealed the fact that it was merely a
method taken by the old stockholders
for liquidating the business of the old
bank. For many years the bank was
operated as state bank, but their char
ter expired about five years ago, and
since that time until couple of weeks
ago it has been run as a private bank.
Recently the business was re-organized
and made National bank, and this
bank is perfectly solvent. In settling
up the affairs of the old bank it was
found there was shortage in the assets
of from $4,000 to $4,000, caused prin-
cipally by bad loans, and there has
been some trouble among the stockhold-
ers over the matter. A. l.. Rockhold
was cashier of the old bank, but was
left out when the bank was re-organiz-
ed, and the only way the stockholders
could settle the trouble was to have a
receiver appointed. 1t is reported that
the depositors are perfectly safe and
will be paid in full but the stockholders
in the bank will have to stand an assess
ment of 40 or so per cent on their stock.

County bridge superintendent ]. E.
Leeper and his force Of bridge men last
week completed fine new bridge over
the creek just west of the railroad
tracks on the cemetery road, which is
one of the best Improvements in the
bridge line that has been made in the
vicinity of Leon for many years. The
new bridge is substantially built and
is "a feet wide, SO that two teams can
cross at once, and the improvement will
be greatly appreciated by the public
who travel over this road. And by the
way Supt. Leeper seems to know just
how to handle these bad places in the
road, and the only regret is that the
bridge funds will not permit him doing
more bridge work. AS bridge builder
he is certainly q success.
