Sleeper, the Santa Fe stage driver,
answers questions freely and gives
the passengers a deal of informa-
ton that is not called for by their
tickets. A nervous old lady was riding
down a dangerous looking trail with
him once, when she noticed a l1atchet
lying in the bottom of the stage and
inquired why he carried it.
II use that hatchet to knock injured
passengers in the head" reylied Mr..
Sleeper.
The old lady gasped with astonish-
ment and drew away from him to the
other end of the seat.
Sleeper leaned over toward her, and
in a confidential whisper explained:

MANAGE WATER PLANT.
City Attorney Drenning's New Ordi-
nance to Be Considered.

The new ordinance which City Attor-
ney Dreaming has prepared for the
management of the WaterWOrkS plant
will come up for consideration before
the Waterworks committee meeting this
evening.
The ordinance takes in only the gen
eral features of the situation and merely
provides for the appointment of the
board of commissioners, their term of
Office, the disposition and character Of
the funds and other matters of general
Importance. The question of rates and
up in separate ordinances and passed st
later meetings of the council.
1t is probable that with few excep-
lions the ordinance will be recommend
ed by the committee for passage as
drawn. No further attempt will be
made by members of the council who
have been asking to place the manage
ment of the plant under the provisions
of the state law. They have dropped
the fight and any talk of reviving it
has ceased. There was but little
chance of a passage on a vote to re-
consider and Councilman Green, who
has been leading the fight, stated this
noon that he had given up any plans
for a further continuance of effort to
esta blish it under a state law. The plant
will be allowed to work under the or
dinance plan for year at least before
any attempt will be made to submit the
law to a vote
The councilmen are generally against
Mayor W. H. Davis idea of creating a
sinking fund of per cent on the bond
ed Indebtedness of 1920 900. They be-
lieve that it is too high and should be
lowered considerably, possibly below 2
per cent.
I'VE want to have the taxes lower not
higher" said Councilman Green, chair
man of the WaterWorkS committee.
