CLASSIC RACE
Meeliek Won $4,000 al
New Orleans and Broke
the Record

New Orleans, La, Mar 14-Meel-
lex, who had just arrived here from
the Pacific coast, and who was almost
despised in the betting, won the clas-
sic $4,000 Crescent county Derby to-
day and at the same time broke the
track record for the distance, one and
one-eighth miles. A large and bril-
liant audience pinned it's hopes to
Chaultepec, 1 to favorite, and
went into it during the early part of
the race, as a favorite. Under a burn
ing sun he rushed into the lead and
with length to spare appeared to be
running the big horse from the coast
of his feet. At the end of the back
stretch Neelick just perceptibly be,
gan to close the gap. Despite the
cries of warning to the favorite Meel.
lex continued to gain until early in
the home stretch he poked his nose
in front, then moved up nearly a
length in the lead and held this posi-
ton to the finish, running apparent
ly with something still in reserve.
Time was ISL As, which was two
fifths of a second under the track
record.
In the betting Meelick opened a
to ! and was backed down to 3 tt
l at the post time.

The city officers would be all to-
gether and convenient to everyone.
Now, a man may want to see the
mayor, auditor or treasurer, to say
nothing of the other city officers,
and in order to do so, has to ex-
pend considerable time and energy
in walking around town to their
various offices.
The community's prosperity is
quite generally judged by the num-
Der of people who own their homes.
What can be said of a city that does
not own it's own home? On
Insurance rates are based upon the
service of the fire department. I'm
der present conditions the fire de-
partment, no matter how enthusiast
tic or how efficient the individual
members may be, can not ASA body
render efficient services, but with
suitable quarters the efficiency of
the services rendered would be in.
creased manifold and the saving in
insurance rates would far surpass
any possible increase in taxation.
If we were to wait till we have
money on hand for the erection of Z,
city hall, by adding $4,000 or $4,000
a year to the annual appropriation
for that purpose, we would have to
increase our taxes that much and
the money would be lying idle for
ten years or more. BY bonding the
