TT was in a crowded department
store elevator.
Il A happy mother, wheeling go
cart with its baby passenger and lead
ing a 5-year-old boy, edged her way
to the door.
The waiting crowd opened a way for
the mother and her progeny. Those
inside pushed back to make room for
the new passengers. The mother
wasn't so very well dressed. She
looked as though she might be the
wife Of Woodworking. under-paid

That's the CHRISTMAS spirit OF I3VJ-
the same spirit which has existed since
cherubim and seraphim first chantcd
GLORY to God in the Highest over
the cradle of the Babe Of Bethlehem.
Have you been shopping yet, or have
you lust been window wishing? No
matter which you have done, if you
have been down in the business streets
in the last few days you have been
pushed and jostled and your toes have
been stepped on. but, if you are in
tune with the spirit of the time, you
have been happy Why, even the po-
licemen on the street crossings and
the conductors on the cars are happy!
There's a deal of difference between
the June and December shoppers. the
bargain hunters and the Christmas
buyers. In June the buying IS for self;
in December for others.
But it's not all happiness this year.
There are many pathetic incidents con-

,''All my overstock," said he, has

will be nothing but new fresh goods
in my store. These new up-to-date
goods are always in demand and as
several large shipments of my fall
stock has arrived our buyers are
now in the market selecting the
cream of the early productions.
With the view of sustaining his
reputation of always having the
newest and best goods on hand, Mr.
McKim has selected an elaborate as
sortment for the fall and winter
trade and he has made this purchase
with the knowledge that there is
nothing too good for the Tonopah
people.

School Department Refuses to Pay for
Street improvements and Five
Per Cent Penalty Be-
comes Due

According to the report Colonel
Schreiber, clerk of the opening and
widening of streets, made to the board
of public works. yesterday the city
finds itself in an uncomfortable predic-
ament. 1t must advertise some of its
own property for sale IN order to pay
delinquent assessments on street i'm
proVements which it owes to itself. Be
. cause the assessments have been per-
mitted to become delinquent penalty
of per cent has been added. and thus
the city has penaliZed itself for failing
to take some money out of one pocket
and put it in another.
The trouble comes over some property
owned by the school department and
known as the Boyd street school lots
A portion of San Pedro street was re-
Gently opened and widened and the
Boyd street school came In the assess
ment district The assessment against
the school department Is $2,526.S0, and
this is increased by the per cent pen
atty that has been added for delin-
quency. But the law holds that school
property or any other city property is
not subject to assessment, and few
weeks ago the school department en-
phatically notified the council II did
not propose to pay any street assess
ments.
Although the form of advertising and
selling property must be gone through
with, it can have no legal effect. The
contractor cannot collect this money
unless the council chooses to pay, and
the board of public works referred this
delinquency to the council for action
next Tuesday.

ORDINANCE Is PUBLISHED
Board of Public Works Resclnds For=
mer Action on Garbage Dis
posal Matter

After fixing October is as the date for
receiving bids for harding the city
garbage the board of public works con-
cluded to rescind its action yesterday
and wait until the ordinance is pub
lished that will give them the author
ity to enter into a contract. This or
dinance will probably be published In
a day or two.
The city attorney has ruled that no
notice to restaurant men will have to
be published, but that the ordinance
includes the permit clause and Is in
itself sufficient notice. Restaurant and
hotel men have thirty days after the
publication of the ordinance to secure
permits from the board of public works
for handling, their own garbage. When
these permits are issued the restaurant
man must give a bond of $1,000 that his
private collector will live up to the
terms of the ordinance.
Fifteen days after the thirty days
given the restaurant men expires the
board will receive bids. The successful
contrac ctor will then be granted ninety
days in which to construct his plant,
whether it be an incinerator or reducer.
