NAV About
Town

The electric light committee OF
the city council acquired a convey
ance and took an after-supper
ramble all over town last Wednes-
day evening for the purpose of max
ing thorough investigation of the
present street lighting facilities and
determine what changes and addl-
tions would be necessary to improve
the service. At the present time
there are twenty-five street lights,
and it was decided to install ten ad-
ditional lights, that being the num-
ber of petitions for street lights now
on file at the city hall. With the
exception of ten street lights in the
business section of town all of the
street lights are to be served by the
new alternating current system.now
being installed, and which will be
ready for service in about two
weeks. All street lights are to be
removed from the center OF street
intersections and the "mast-arm
system will be installed, all same
Denver. The mast-arm is attached
to a pole located on the curb line
and extends sixteen feet into the
street. The mast-arm device will
be great improvement upon the
present system. 1t not only lights
up the sidewalk more effectively.
but those who drive by night will
not be blinded by the glare OF an
electric light located in the center
of the street. The wiring for the
alternating current has already been
completed, and it is hoped to have
the additional street lights installed
and the new system IN operation IN
side of two weeks.

Notwithstanding the financial de-
preston on account of the stock
furry in Wall street. which has
about as much to do with legitimate
business conditions in this country
as the Sultan of Turkey has to do
with the divorce problem, there was
received in this city yesterday morn
ing telegraphic inquiry and request
for more bonds Of the Otero Irriga-
ton District. People with surplus
funds are evidently looking for
something more substantial than the
bull and bear market in which to
invest ready cash, and in this re-
spect the recent financial furry,
which seems to have affected all
parts Of the country alike. will in
the end prove Of untold benefit by

The high school committee mud
die was up for hearing before
Judge Essex in the district court
room of this city yesterday and is
still on as we go to press. The case
came up on mandamus proceeding
to compel Mrs. Money, president of
the high school committee, to sign
warrants duly issued by the secre-
tary. The main contention of the
case is as to whether the high school
committee is composed of three
members or the entire school board
of district No. II, of which there
are five members. Judge Voorhees,
argued the case for the plant
ifs and the defense was rep
resented by S. Harrison White. As
the case is still OH as we 20 to press
we are not advised as to when Judge
Essex will render his opinion, but
hope it will be one way or the other
and place an everlasting quietus up
on the school muddle. AS far as
the efficiency of the schools are con-
cerned we do not think it will make
much difference whether the high
school committee is composed of
three members or five members, al
though we duly appreciate the fact
that the committee should be legally
constituted, and this seems to be
about all that hos caused the erup-
tion maybe.
The Y. M. c. A. campaign for a
SAC, 900 building in La Junta. which
was to have been inaugurated next
Monday evening with banquet,
has been postponed for brief time
on account Of the temporary finan-
cial depression. The executive COM
mittee thought that it would be
unwiSe to proceed with the cam
paign for funds for building at the
present time. and decided to post
pone all matters relating thereto.
There is no question as to the need
Of this community for an institution
of this character, and 50 much
enthusiasm was manifested by the
promoters Of the project that there
is hardly doubt as to its being sue
cessfully financed. AS soon as the
financial horizon clears to some ex-
tent the project will again be taken
up, and the campaign committee
declares I'VE shall not give up the
work incident thereto until our ef-
forts are crowned with success"

said. II will say, however, that the story
that bailiff was at the marriage was ut
