than four miles per hour. The matter
was left with Councilmen Barnes,
Cardnell and Howard and they will re
port at their next meeting.
The matter of the autos occupied
nearly one hour of the time of the
council Tuesday evening and all of them
were convinced that the speed limit
has been broken by the drivers and
that the officers of the town should en-
force the ordinance and arrest tho
speedy fellows. 1t was also announced
that certain of the autos had been
driven through the streets without tine
required lamps on the front and rear
of the machines. This is direct vio-
lation of the ordinance.
A number of the property owners in
the northeast part of the city petition
ed the council for sewer to begin at
a point on Denver avenue thence north
to Seventh street, west to Lincoln
avenue. The street and alley commit
tee will make investigation ana report
in two weeks.
In building the outlet of the Minter
avenue sewer it appears that adequate
provision was not made for the flow
into Grand river and as result, filth
is collecting. The street and alley com
mittee will examine the sewer and
make recommendations at the next
meeting.
The town treasurer's report showed
that there was total of $3,s0s.45 on

GAVIN AND FIRE ALARMS

Although the city council has in a
manner agreed to give the managers
of the ball team sum of money TO
assist in defraying the expenses of the
team for the past season, Austin Gavin
announced Tuesday evening that if the
council did not feel that the money
could be given or that the fire alarm
could be secured sooner by not giving
the money, he as one of the men back
of the team, was willing to hold the
sack and let the council take immedi
ate steps looking toward the securing
Of the needed fire equipment.
1t will be remembered that the man
ayers of the ball team asked the coun-
ell to assist. No certain amount was
asked. but it was understood that the
more than $4O0 would be given if the
shortage should be that large. The
shortage is larger and it was generally
believed that the council would be
asked on Tuesday evening for $400,
but NO such request was made, al
-tAoagh it may BE- made l&ter.---'---------
The people of Glenwood have not
patronized the team this year as was
expected and although the whole
town has received good big amount
of advertising, the financial hackers of
the AFFAIR have been forced to face a
shortage amounting to several hun
dred dollars. A statement will be pre-
sented to the council at some future
meeting that they may know where the
money has gone.

HARRnLAN Is DEAD

At one thirty o'clock Thursday after
noon of this week the death angel
claimed the spirit of Edward H. Harri-
man, known the world over as the
greatest railroad man that ever lived.
For days he had battled against dis.
ease. but powerful as he was in the
financial world, he has gone the way
all must go.
The funeral will be held at 3 80 to-
morrow afternoon and it is said the
services will be private with interment
in the family plot back of ST. John s
Episcopal church at Arden, where the
family home has been established. The
remains will be laid to rest at the side
Of those of his eldest son, E. H. Harri-
man, Jr., who died twenty-five years
ago.
Although it is generally believed
that Mr.. Hartman died at 1870 on
Thursday afternoon, his physicians
announced that the time Of his death
was 3:35. There is no reason given for
the discrepancy in the times announced
unless it be that his death was not dis
closed for fear it would have effect ON
the New York stock exchange.
The Glenwood post., 1909-09-11

That Glenwood people may be given
better means of giving an alarm of
fire, the city council is contemplating
the installation of system by which
fire alarm boxes will be placed in va
rious parts of the city. the breaking of
the glass of which and the opening Of
an inside door will cause the blowing
of whistles indicating the district in
which the fire is discovered. Such a
system placed in working order will
cost 1890, but that is matter of
little consequence when the danger
eliminated is taken into consideration.
And the police force may be supplied
with stop watches, that they may be
better able to detect the speed with
which the auto drivers are passing
through the streets. When supplied
with the watches, the officers are sup
posed to catch the time that it takes
an auto to go from one street crossing
to the other and if the speed limit IS
permitted by the ordnance recently
adopted is being broken. the guilty
auto driver will be hailed before the
police magistrate and given tag. a
petition was filed with the council,
which met Tuesday evening of this
week, to which some 120 people had
affixed their signatures, praying the
council to amend their recent ordinance
and make the speed limit much slower,
that is making the high speed eight
miles per hour and compelling autos
to cross the state bridge ct not mo:o

Police Magistrates report disclosed
that ten drunk and disorderlies had
been hailed before him in August and
three other cases were before him.
Marshal Weidenhammer is still keep
ing up his lick in getting sporting
fines" and reported 5000 for August.
He collected $s7 in other fines.
A certain are light, which at present
is near Hotel Colorado, will be moved
to the Fifth street corner near the
hotel.
All bills were allowed except the one
from the Glenwood Light & Water
company and the one presented by
Engineer Rosenberg. The former was
held up because of the item for irri-
eating the trees. Mr.. Lyle was present
and spoke regarding the bill, but was
asked to bring in separate bills, hav'
ing that for irrigating the trees as a
separate item.
The Rosenberg bill was for work
done by the city engineer in replacing
street centers said to have been both
cred bv Mr.. Ikeler when he laid some
water piping in North Glenwood. AS
the two gentlemen are inclined to mis-
trust each other. both were given time
for explaining their positions. Mr..
Ikeler said he was willing to pay for
the center he or his men had disturbed
if the time as kept by Mr.. Rosenberg
agreed with that kept by Mr.. keller.
This caused Mr.. Rosenberg to come to
the front with reminder that he had
already sworn to HIS bill. which should
be sufficient proof to the council that
he was dealing honestly with them.
Mr.. Ikcler said Mr.. Rosenberg had
agreed to replace the center for $50,
but the latter gentleman denied that
he had done so and turned away, say
ing, eff you say that there is not a
man. woman or child in .Glenwood that
will believe what you say" Mr.. Ike
Ter continued his explanations and said
that he had been furnished map by
Mr.. Rosenberg which showed the street
in which the water pipe was laid to be

80 feet wide. Again Mr.. R. denied
such to be the case and offered to re.
call the bill, do the work for nothing
and make Mr.. Ikeler present of a
cash sum equal to that called for in
the bill.
AS there was no possibility of set
tling the affair at the Tuesday night
meeting, Mayor Drach stopped the
argument by asking that the bill be
passed up until the next meeting,
which was done

He THINKS IT AN INJUSTICE

No doubt the Grand Valley News
in its last issue but voiced the senti-
ment of every farmer in Garfield coun-
ty when its editor flayed the democrat
ic party's plan of increasing the taxes
of the farmers of this county that the
expense incurred by B. T. Napier ct al
in the last Legislature might be paid.
1t is a well known story, that of the
pledge breaking Napier-Luxen crowd,
but to ask the farmers of this county
to pay more taxes that the democrats
may pay their bills is surely running
the farmer into hole and then plug
ging the hole. Here is what the News
had to say in its last issue:
In comparison of the valuation as
shown by the assessment for the ensu-
ing year with that of prior years one
cannot fail to be amazed at the re-
markabe increase in the valuation Of
farm properties throughout the entire
state
tion has increased $545 900 over tina.
of last year, and practically this entire
increase is borne by the farmer.
We do not object to increasing the
funds raised by taxation if the state
and county are in need of the increase
and it is for Legitimate purposes, but
we do strenuously object to this in-
crease being raised by means of an
unproportionate increased valuation on
farm properties.
If greater funds are really needed let
them be raised by q higher levy on the
prior valuation or by increased valua-
tion upon all properties in proportion.
that is, increase the valuation of cor
porate properties in the same proper
tion as farm property.
1t is beyond question that the pros
perity of our state, and in fact the
prosperity of our nation, depends sole
ly on the prosperity of our farmers.
Agricultural pursuits form the step
ping stones for every other line of in
dustry, and unless our farms are pros
porous no other industry can be sue
cess.
From business standpoint 1t
would be utter folly to burden our
farmers with heavy tax; it would be
better policy to subsidize them.
We think it is rank injustice to
oblige our farmers to bear the burden
of supplying the states deficiency in
revenue.
