G. o. Cutler, superintendent OF
the Water Works, is making a
fine record this year. Already
the water plant has paid all the
expenses of operating it, paid for
all repairs and improvements,
and in addition to all of this the
plant will earn this year between
four and five thousand dollars.
At this rate the plant will soon
pay off the water works bonds
and the city will have a nice sur
plus fund to it's credit each year.
Commissioner Cutler certainly
deserves much credit for this ex-
cellent showing.

friends here, that this bill will
pass the Senate this week, will
then 90 to the House and will
soon be a law. Then there will be
an election of the voters OF this
district on it's adoption and If the
majority of the voters favor this
new law we will have an indie
pendent school district here. We

" a liberal provision. If there is

will be at the polls. The new law
will not 60 into effect until it is
ratified by the voters, so there is
no occasion to make any fight in
