The loaf is made in the mold

| MASS MEETING FOR
CITY IMPROVEMENTS
CITIZENS GET TOGETHER IN ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING LAST MONDAY NI6HT.
City Council is Requested TO Order Election
for watenworks and Sewerage
Bonds.

1t now appears that the cltl-
zens of Canyon City, at least
those who own property within
the corporate limits of the town
are to have the opportunity of
saying whether or not the town
shall be classed as being among
the live, hustling kind which are
to be generally found on the
Plains of Texas.
The citizens of our town held
a mass meeting last Monday
night at the court house and it
was indeed a mass meeting for
there was a large crowd present
ere the meeting was over and
there was an important measure
to discuss.
The city council had requested
that the citizens hold ii meeting
Of the kind for the purpose of
discussing whether or not the
council should order an election
to determine whether or not
bonds should be issued for the
purpose ofputting in waterwOrks
and sewerage systems for the
city And the matter was thor
oughly discussed before the
meeting broke up at near mid
night. 1t was, in the main. a
friendly discussion though two
of the citizens enlivened the
meeting with some personalities
which were entirely out of place
but which afterwards resulted
in getting the entire meeting to-
gether on the proposition.
1t was meeting for everybody
who desired to express them
selves and they did. 1t was al
most unanimous in expressions
for the advancement of the in
terests of the city, many points
of advantage being brought out
by the discussion.
After the Speaches and ora
torical flights the following reso-
luton was submitted and unani-
mously adopted:
"RESOLvED: That this mass
request the City Coun-
Gil to order an election to beheld |
at some early date for the pur-
pose of allowing the qualified
voters at such an election to de-
termine whether or not bonds
shall be issued for the purpose
OF putting IN WaterWOrkS and
sewerage systems for Canyon
City,"
After the resolution above was
passed a motion was made re-
questing the mayor and city
council to appoint a general
clean up day to be observed by
the entire town.

The School Election.

On next Monday there will be
held in the Canyon City indie.
pendent School District an elec-
ton, for the purpose of continu-
ing the Independent school
district school and every citizen
should come up and vote for the
tax. This election is not for the
purpose of supplementing the
tax that has been for levied for
the last few years but it is in
lieu of the said taxing power of
the school board. Heretofore
the school board could annually
levy and collect as much as %
cents on the 500 valuation of
property, which has never been
done but once. The last years
levy was only 33 cents per 500
valuation of property. The
election if carried gives the
school board the authority to
levy and collect not exceeding 80
cents for all purposes including
the amount necessary to pay
interest on our school house

CITY COUNCIL
ORDERS ELECTION.
PROPERTY OWNERS TO VOTE ON sa5,0O0
BOND ISSUE FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
waten~orks and Sewerage Plants the Subject
Of Investment Cleanup Day
Ordered.

The new city council seems to
be starting off with the intention
of doing something for the city.
At least the council is going to
give the citizens of this city a
chance to say whether or not
internal improvements shall be
made and that right at once.
On Monday night of this week
a mass meeting of the citizens of
the town was held at the court
house for the purpose of discuss
ing whether or not an election
should be held to determine
whether or not bonds should be
issued for the purpose of putting
in waterworks and sewerage
plant to be owned by the city.
A resolution to the city council
requesting such an election was
passed. On Tuesday afternoon
the council met to consider the
matter
The council, after going over
the financial condition of the CITY
and taking into consideration
the assessed value of the proper
ty decided that such an election
should be held and they there
fore passed an ordinance calling
for the election to be held on the
first Thursday in next month,
June, for the purpose of de
termining whether or not bonds
of the city in the sum of S35, 900
should be issued for thepurpose.
The entire council was unani-
nous in their belief that the
people who pay the taxes of the
city should have the opportunity
of stating their desires about
the matter.
The election has been ordered
as above stated and the matter
is being discussed very thorough
Iy on the streets. Most of the
people are of the opiniop that
the council should have placed
the amount of the bonds at
$40, 900 in order that so much
larger district of the city could
be covered by sewerage and fire
Almost every man
approached was in favor of the
bond issue and were also in fav-
Or of the larger amount.
The council at their meeting,
also designated Thursday of
next week as Clean Up" day,
with the request that each citizen
of the town make strenuous eff
forts to clean up their property
and alleys on that date. All
trash that is placed in boxes,
barrels or sacks will be hauled
away at the expense of the city.
Instructions were also given for
the rigid enforcement of the
sanitary laws of the city and it
is reported, in a private way,
that almost the entire council
will become a smelling commit
tee" to look out after the viola
tions of the health and sanitary
ordinances. From expressions
given out from some of these
people there will be something
loing" if violatOrs are found.
