TO drink The village treasury has
now about $4,000 in 1t and can
not pay out cent until sometime
in March, because an appropfia-
tion ordinance covering the m oney
already in the treasury and the
money of the February draw, must
be passed in March, before a cent
can be paid out. The same lame
place occurs in the middle of the
summer when work can be done to
an advantage. The March appro-
priation ceases on June 30, and no
money is received for appropria-
tion from the county until late in
August, so that the months of
July and August are lost to the
village in work. That is the re-
suit of tile sweet scented municipal
code under which we must live,
the author of which has the adj
vantage of us all--he is dead.

ganization and that the next mat.
ter in order would be the selection
of President Pro TEN to serve
out the unexpired term from the
old council. Mr.. Canty was unan-
imously chosen. The law names
the first meeting night in May as
the time for electing president
pro tenn of the council, but Mr..
Angle holding that place in the
former council, and having retired
from the board, it was necessary
to elect to fill the vacancy until
the May meeting.
The Mayor announced that in
as much as the village contract
with Health Officer, DR.. M. Ell.
Cherrington had expired on Jan.
2, 1908, that he would ask the
council to select some suitable
person for that position for an
other year. On motion of Mr..
Dougherty, DIR. Ed. Campbell was
unanimously elected Health Officer
for one year. Salary will be fixed
later, but it was the consentaneous
opinion of the council that the
present established salary of 5000.
would probably maintain for an
other year.
The time of Mr.. James Perone
having expired as Cemetery Trus-
tee, Mayor Thurness re-appointed
HIM for three years and asked
confirmation Of the council which
was had without dissenting vote.
Many words of commendation were
passed out by the members of the
council favorable to Mr.. Perone as
a member of the Board of Gene

terry Trustees, in the interest he Is
taking In the work and the many
improvements his board has made
in the past year. The re-appoint-
ment of MIR. Perone was indeed
merited, and that he will accept
such re-appointment is of much
interest and benefit to our town.
The matter of the appointment
of street commissioner was laid
over until the next regular meeting
which will occur next Tuesday
evening.
The council plowed right into
business like the business men that
they are, and took up the matter
of congruous action with the
county commissioner in the build
ing Of a bridge at Goose Creek on
the GAINESVILLE road. The street
committee promised to look over
the ground and asked the council
as whole to "take look" at the
proposed improvement. The mat
ter will be taken up with the COM
missioners at their Saturday meet
ing of this week.
That new fire team came up for
its usual airing, and Mr.. Dough
erty, chairman of the Fire Depart
ment committee said that it is m
portant for him to assay the legal
ity of the purchase, if purchase it
was, and to what extent the village
is in for the deal. He said 1t was
not a pleasure for new council to
clean up old business, and that the
sooner 1t is done the better. The
committees agreed to call on Col.
Weldy, chairman of the Fire De-
partment committee of the former
council, and who purchased the
team, and ascertain the status quo
the horse business has SO shaped
itself. Chief of Fire Department
W. F. Eisele was present and re-
marked that the team had proven
failure thus far, and had baked
with the hose wagon. That the
property of Logan is in danger
every day by the ineffiency of the
team.
The matter of the proposed ex-

SPEEDY MEN ~ THE ARMY?
Published Records OF Enlisted Men Put Our
Amateur Champions In the shade.

BY command Of Major-Gen. Grant the
best athletic records for the different army
posts have been made known and sent around
for general information. The top notch
marks in all the leadi',g branches Of track
and field sport as well as military contests
are included to the number OF about hfty-siN.
It is presumed that the records are correct,
as they are issued from HEADQUARTERS, De-
partment Of the Fast, Governors Island, and
the figures reveal the fact that the army
has within It's ranks some men who woulo
make the star athletes look like selling platers
we're they 10 meet.
For instance. the record for the I'm yard
run is given as o. seconds by Serg'. Williams
Of Fort Greble in 1909. There IL no mention
Of the conditions that prevailed when tho
Sarge" strobe over the century, whether
a breeze blew with him or against him, and
only the bare figures are left for the guidance
Of the civilian. At any rate. there is but Que
amateur Splinter in the outside, world to-day
who on form could give Sergt Williams an
argument. He is Dan Kelly, who holds the
world mark for the hundred, and he would
have to be in his best fcttle at that, The
best record last year was ~ seconds by tor

matter where. II Is ~ 2-j seconds, and the

the late l.. f.. Myers came inside a seconds,
but the record was never accepted, rs II was
found something went wrong with the timing

But by far the mos marvellous record Of the
army list Ia that for the 100 yard hurdle race
II is IA seconds, and the man 10 whose credit
il stands IL Sergeant F.. b. Jones Of Fort
Greble. II il not stated what height the
hurdles were nor how many hurdles were on
the course, but II IL taken for granted that
there were ten OF them and that they were

wards and catch him as he hit the finish line.

In all probability there ia not an amateur ~
