money to do it, provision therefor
having been made in the original
estimates. The board decided
that the work should be done &C
cording to the original plans, and
the clerk was authorized to get
bids for the 10000 odd feet of
sewer pipe necessary for the
work, it being the intention of the
board to have the city do the
work, which will be undertaken at
the first possible opportunity. The
beds will cost $4,000, and will be
worth much more than that in the
efficiency of the system.
Various needs for street work
we're brought up, and the chairman
of the committee on streets and
alleys was directed to do the best
The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1905-05-12

he could in each instance. There
is not nearly the money that there
ought to be for the streets, and
the board INDUCED in a profitless
discussion of the best way to raise
the wind. Amarillo is growing
and its needs constantly increas-
ing, without any hope of increased
revenue, as the last cent of posi-
BILE tax is now being collected.
Some property owners had OBJ
jected to the proposed cut-offs OH
Tenth and Fifteenth streets, but
the board seemed to think they
we're mistaken in their ideas, and
the matter was allowed to drop
with that idea in mind.
The matter of the proposed city
building was also brought up by
the mayor, but the aldermen pre-
ferred to let it 60 over until there
was a full board present, and
nothing further appearing, the
board adjourned.

NEW FRANCHISE
City Council Considers the Appli-
cation of the Telephone
Company.

The regular meeting Of the city
council occurred Tuesday evening,
having been deferred until that
time on account of the opening Of
court and other distractng mat
ters.
Aldermen Shaughnessy and Holt
we're absent, the latter being i'll
and the former being held at his
post at the union station by late
train.
The chief matter of considera-
ton was the petition of the tele-
phone company for an extension Of
its franchise to justify the install
lation of central energy system.
superintendent Gooch in present
ing the request, said that the i'm
provement would cost around
$4,000 and would embrace the
placing of an entire new outfit Of
phones, new switch boards, cables,
cable terminals, poles, ETC., being
in effect a complete replacement
of the present plant. Fifteen
months was asked in which to
make the change, and in consider
alton of the outlay the company
asked that the franchise be ex-
tended twenty years, which with
the five years still remaining on
the old franchise would make
twenty-five years in all. There
was to be no increase in the price
of phones until LOCO had been in
stalled, when the raise should be
at the rate Of so cents for each
500 phones, following the usual
ratio observed in this line. Sup
porting his request he presented a
The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1905-05-12

petition signed by practically every
business man in town, asking that
the board grant his request, in
order that Amarillo may have a
modern system, and the list could
easily have been made to cover
every one Of the 450 patrons of
the company. He felt that in
asking the extension of the coun-
Gil he was only seeking a reasona-
BILE business protection. Ten
thousand dollars is large amount
of money and he did not feel that
any business man would like to
plant that much without some as
surance that he would have a
chance to realize on it. The con-
templated improvement was right
in line with the best cities in the
country, and he believed that it
would be a good investment on the
part of the city to grant the re-
quest, securing infinitely better
service, and expeditlng the bust
ness and convenience of the peo-
pie.
Alderman Bivins had apparently
been reading some socialistic liter
ature, and while he was in favor
of granting the request to the
present company if it was given to
anybody without consideration, he
did not want to tie himself up so
that if any other company came
along he could not vote to accept
a reasonable bonus for the fran
chise.
This precipitated the matter Of
two telephone companies, and both
The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1905-05-12

Mr.. Gooch and Mr.. Mum, the
principal owner of the present
company, pointed out the draw
backs of having two systems.
They said that the people would
have to pay the cost, which would
amount to several thousand dol
lars, and it would be an intolerable
nuisance to everybody. The COM
pany did not want anything I'M
reasonable in their view of the
matter, did not propose to raise the
rates until the size of the exchange
made it imperative, and were
minded to put in thousands of dol
lars in an improvement that would
benefit the town from the start.
All they wanted was to be protec-
ted in their enterprise, which would
make old junk out of the present
equipment as we'll as the large ex-
pense of installation of the central
energy system.
Alderman BiVins was not able to
exactly see the point, Alder
man White was not prepared to
act on the matter, and Alderman
Warren not having anything to say
about his observations as to a two
system arrangement back in Ten
nessee, and insisting that no &C
ton should be taken until a full
board was present, the matter was
laid over until all of the burgomas-
tiers could attend, which in the ma
ture of things would not be long.
S. D, Crittenden complained of
burdensome assessments on his
city property, and he was promised
that the city would look into the
matter at its earliest convenience.
The property in question is loca-
ted on Pierce street, near Ninth,
and in the failure of the owner to
list them, were valued by the as
sessor at higher figure than the
owner thought right.

This brought up the matter of
the board of equalization and City
Attorney Gee presented the nee
essary ordinance relating thereto,
which was passed without division.
The board will sit on the 5th of
June, and its membership will be
decided upon at the called meeting
to be held at the call of the mayor.
1t is not an easy task to get COM
petent men to sit on this board and
the council was disposed to side
step the appointments until prom
ises could be had from suitable
parties, several of whom we're men
toned.
The fire boys asked that their poll
tax be related, and the board was
disposed to grant the request, but
doubted its right to do so under
the law, and the matter was
reached finally by ordering each
member paid the amount of his tax
out of the city treasury, a quite
just and commendable action.
Attorney G. B. Reeder was
present and brought up the matter
of the damage suit brought by H.
B. Sanborn against the city on &C
count of the old dumping ground
southeast of the city, City Attor-
ney Gee was of the opinion that in
asmuch as mutual concessions
were possible the plaintiff was
willing to drop the matter upon the
payment of his outlay and costs.
If it was not done the matter
would drag along through the
courts, with fair chance of the
town being stuck for a big cost
bill, and the wsest thing to do was
to close the matter up while the
plaintiff, who had been damaged at
least morally by the dumpage, was
in receptive mood. The board
seemed to think that it was the
best thing to do, and a motion to
pay the 1925 that was asked was
passed without division.
The mayor suggested that some
thing ought to be decided on in re-
gard to the filtering beds at the
mouth of the sewer system. 1t
was necessary to the completeness
Of the system, and there was

WHY We RECOMMEND ORRINE
TO CURE DRUNKENNESS.

In taking the agency for Orrine, the
liauor habit cure, we thoroughly salts
fed ourselves that it was an article of
genuine merit, and that the company,
which IS located in Washington, D. c.,
deals squarely and lives strictly to the
Guarantee. IF the cure is not made the
money viii be refunded
Since selling Orrine numerous cases
have come TO our knowledge that have
been cured of the horrible liquor habit
bv this meritorious article, which streng-
tbens the nervous system and destroys
the craving for whiskey, beer or other
alcoholic sfimulants. Orrine is prepared
IN two forms. No. / should be given to
cure the patient without his knowledge.
1t can be put into coffee or food, as
IL is tasteless. colorless and odorless.
We think that when the excessive
drinker is approached properly be will be
willing to be cured. Ii he consents, pur-
chase Orrine No. 2, which is put up in
pill form. Either form sells at 81 per
package. Step into our store and receive
fun information regarding Orrine, the
remedy that usually cures the liquor
habit. If you will write to the 0rrine
Company, Inc, Washington, D. G., they
viii send YOU a free book on Drunken
ness in a plain paper wrapper.
We have great confidence that Orrine
cures the drink habit, and highly recon-
mend it to you. Red Cross Pharmacy,
