However, the council did order the
city attorney to secure samples of pure
food ordinances as passed by other
cities and in the course of few months,
we may hear more of Glenwood people
getting clean milk, etc.
When the question of a pure food
inspector came up, Mayor Drach showed
every evidence of being afraid to spend
the money to protect the health of the
people. He feared the cost would be
too great, but after while it was
agreed that man might be secured
as city health officer and food inspector
for the sum of $25 per month.

Councilman Oldenburg believes the

an ordinance and the city attorney will
accordingly prepare one which will
probably make the speed limit six
miles per hour.
The chilly atmosphere was brought
almost to the freezing point when the
report of the city clerk was read. It
showed the net indebtedness of the city
to be $43, l44.11, which was about $50
more than six months ago and we are
now living under council that was
going to do such wonders in economy
right from the start. Mayor Drach
announced that the worst is over and
the expense would be curtailed the
next six months. No doubt, the peo.
pie hope so.
More samples of ordinances were
needed and the city clerk will secure

FALSE REPORT OF TAYLOR Vote
1000 Greater Than Officially Stated
By Papers Of The State--.Was
Near The Top

Congressman elect Edward T. Taylor
of this city is, of course, pleased at his
recent election to the highest office
ever attained by Glenwood Springs
man, but he believes he is entitled to
all the votes that were cast for him
at the November election.
According to some of the state pa
pers, which published the official notice
to successful candidates, Mr. Taylor
was reported to have received total
of 122,934. but as matter of fact his
vote in the state was just 1000 great
er than that number.
A letter from the secretary of state
explains the missing 1000 by stating
that in Las Animas county the figures
written out in full had occupied
so much space that the figure four
was obliterated in Taylor's total vote,

Invited Speakers Allowed to Depart
Without Customary Courtesies
Being Extended By Our
City Fathers
new COUNCIL INCREASES DEBT

Such chilly meeting as was held
Monday evening by the city council.
Even the music and noise of dancing
in the rooms above, failed to arouse
the solemn faced city lawmakers to
activity, and business that should have
consumed less than an hour was drag
gcd through three.
There were some interesting features
but they came from people outside of
the council. The first matter to at
tract the attention of the Board was
the plan for an auditorium as advanced
by C. W. Darrow. This plan in a nut
shell is to build the auditorium to cost
100000. Bonds guarnteed by the build
ing and lots should be sold to pay the
bills incurred. The city should have
space for the council chamber and fire
house and the rent they are now pay.
ing should be added to the rentals
secured from the use of the building
and placed in sinking fund to pay in,
the bonds. The city would thus be
in complete charge of the building and
would guarantee the interest and in
time would be able to pay off the whole
indebtedness.
In presenting the plan, Mr.. Darrow
agreed to take at least five hundred
dollars of the bonds. Mayor Drach ap
pointed Councilmen Showalter. Lucas
and Barnes to represent the city and
act with the Board of Trade auditor.
ium committee in the matter.
Now that they have closed the sa
looms, strangers have no place to 90
and some place should be provided.
We should have a reading room in this
town and l have told the people that
! would give 500 per month to keep a
reading room open.' J. C. Schwarz thus
put little more life in affairs and then
went after the oil tanks in the south
west part of the city. He said to
move them would increase the price of
gasoline by several cents. The oil mat
ter finally subsided in letter rea
from the Insurance Underwriters, who
said rates should be raised in that part
OF the city unless the tanks were NOV.
ed. Mayor Drach ordered the city at.
torney to have the tanks ousted.
Messrs. Girardet and Coulter, two of
the state pure food officers were then
introduced to the members of the coun,
Gil and for the next few minutes such
things as typhoid, consumption, flies,
bacteria, dirty milk cans and filthy

AS one bushel of cones will yield but

were threshed by the local officers and
the up-to-date part of the affair was
when the men in charge famed the
wings and refuse from the seed with
electric fans. The cones were pu,.
verized. and this was allowed to run
from the hands of the men into
sieve. As it passed through the air,
the electric fan got in its work and the
seed and particles Of pitch we're all

the rest being blown over the floor.
The meshes of the sieve permitted the
seed and only the very smallest parti-
cles Of foreign material to pass through
them, thus the seed was remarkably

Committees Working For the Audito-
rum Held Meeting Thursday
Evening And Get Closer
To Bulls Horns
YOU CAN GIVE THEM A BOOST

Glenwood business men are getting
closer to the horns of the bull and it
is believed the new year will find them
ready and willing to take over bonds
to the amount of thirty thousand dol
lars that we may have place in which
to hold conventions during the years
to come.
The committee appointed by the city
council Monday evening met with the
two committees of the Board of Trade
IN the convention room of the Hotel
Grand Thursday evening and talked
over ways and means of raising the
money necessary to buy lots and erect
the mammoth structure.
A number have already signifed
-lesire to help the .Preposition- and say
they will take some Of the bonds as
soon as they are ready to throw on the
market. Others are not sure, but when
they see the leaders taking hold, they
will follow suit and place their names

among those who are working for 4
greater Glenwood Springs and Western
slope.
No defnate action will be taken,
however, until after the January meet
ing of the city council as they wish to
discuss further the plan presented to
them Mpndpy evening by Attorney
Darrow.
The proposition now before the peo-
pie insures the city against taking any
step in violation of the laws of the
nasium, reading room and still have
state regarding further indebtedness.
The building will have space for coun-
ell chamber, hose house, city Jail, gym
room for any gathering of people that
may come here for convention.
IT would greatly encourage the com
mittees if the business men would step
up lively and announce their willing
ness to take over some of the bonds in
case that plan is decided upon.

MACHINE VOTEINC
SAVES MONEY

Spokane, Nov. 4.-Voting ma
chimes may be used in Spokane coun-
ty at the next county election, If sew
eral local business men who are agi-
tating the question can succeed in
convincing the county's representa-
tives in the state legislature of the
economy of this plan, says the
Chronicle.
Il believe the use of the latest i'm
proved voting machine in this cOun-
ty would save several thousands of
dollars annually" states a promi-
nent official. THE operation of the
new primary law doubles the expense
of all elections. The primary cleo
| ton in September and the general
election will cost Spokane county
about $4,000.
The latest voting machines can
BE- bought for approximately 500
each. They do away with all
chances of fraud, enable the count to
be made quickly, and decrease by
helf the cost of an election to the
county. At the next session of the
legislature a bill should be passed
making it possible for the use OF
voting machines in all elections"
