WILL SUBMIT TO VOTE
Council Will Ask Authority to Pur'
chase Rock Crusher at Coming
City Election.

''Shall the City Council Of the City
of Dallas borrow sum Of money not
to exceed $500 and issue city warrants
therefor, for the purpose Of purchasing
and operating a rock crusher to be
owned by the city and used by it in
the repair and improvement of its
streets?"
This is a question that will be sub
mitted to the voters of Dallas at the
annual city election to be held on
Monday, April g. The resolution
authorizing the submission Of the
question to vote of the people passed
the council by unanimous vote Mon
day evening, all the members of the
board being present
The sum of money named in the
resolution represents the price of a
crusher suitable to the needs of a
town Of the size of Dallas, if it is
found necessary to purchase a new
machine, but it is highly probable
that a secondhand crusher in good
repair can be had for less than half
this amount. The council has secured
30-day option on a crusher in Port
land, and this machine will be pur-
chased if the vote of the people is
favorable; provided, of course, that it
is found to be in good repair and
suitable to the city's needs This
crusher was built by one of the lead
ing machinery houses of the East, and
is one of the largest and best crushers
made. 1t is 9x16 in size, and has
daily capacity of $50 tons. 1t can be
bought for $40O One of the members
Of the council examined the machine
few days ago and reports that it ap-
pears to be in excellent condition and
practically as good as new.
If the vote of the people is favorable
at the coming April election, the
council will cause this machine to be
thoroughly inspected by competent
machinists who are familiar with
crushers, and if their report is favor
able, the purchase will in all
probability be made 1t is believed
that this crusher can be installed
ready for work, with all necessary
elevators and rock bins, for $3.50,
making the total cost $3.50, or less
than half the price of new machine.
If, however, the result Of the exami-
nation of this crusher should not
prove satisfactory, it may become
to purchase a new crusher
to carry out the proposed street i'm
and for this reason the
council has decided to ask the people
or not they are willing to buy
a new crusher if nc good secondhand
can be had.
Under the provisions Of the city
it is not necessary to submit
his matter to a vote, as the council
has power and authority to purchase
any machinery needed for street i'm
purposes; but the members
If the board do not desire 10 incur
his expense without the sanction Of
he people With the backing OF
7ote Of the citizens favorable to the
1t is reasonably certain
hat the present council, or any board
lected, will lose no time in carrying
,ut the work and giving Dallas good, !
,ermanent streets.
