WEBSTER CITY'S
BASKET BALL TEAM
The First Game Will be With Sioux
City-Schedule Will be
Finished Soon.

The first practice of the athletes
of the local high school, who are
candidates for the basket ball team,
was held last evening in the high
school gymnasium. The outlook TOT
a team this season is exceptionally
bright. Although the schedule mas
not been completed the locals have
contest with the team at Sioux
City to be played there. The date
set for this game is January 26th.
In all there are about fifteen can
didates for the team. Among them
are Ave who are old stars and I'M
derstand the game from start to nm
ish. As only five men are necessary
for basket ball, the fans are assur'
ed OF a team that will finish the
season as well as they did last year
Webster City has a reputation Tor
fast basket ball teams and this year
they will be matched against some
of the strongest teams in the state
The old players are Berggren, NC
Kee, France. Meller and Dodge
Though these men were considered
very good last season they will have
some work to maintain their places
on the 1912 team. 1t Is not yet DEL
initely known when the first game
is to be played. Prof. Parish. who
has charge OF the schedule. has been
corresponding with coaches and
managers from many parts OF the
state. Some Of these have not yet
been heard from. but 1t is thought
the schedule will be finished by the
end OF this week.
AS the material for first class
team is SO plentiful this year the
old men will be given no preference
but will be Obliged to get out ana
qualify for their places.
1t is probable that the games here
will be played at the armory opera
house. The basket ball five VIII be

MEETING Of THE
CITY COUNCIL
Talk Of Appointing Committee to In
vestigate Paving in Other
Towns

The city council held a meeting
last night and all members, except
Hahne, were present. Mr.. Hahne
is reported quite sick, having had a
severe cold for a number of weeks.
The matter of placing a flush
tank at the end of the sanitary
sewer on the corner of Bank and
Prospect streets was discussed and
1T will probably be put in soon. It
will cost in the neighborhood of $75'
The report of the engineer on the
sewer on First and Division streets,
was accepted. The improvement on
First street was put in at a cost OF
s1,750.41. On this street there are
three blocks of it.
On Division street there are two
blocks Of sewerage at a cost of ST.
25O.30.
The proposition that was made at
the last session Of the city council,
in which it was advised that COM
mittee Of councilmen and a commit
tee of residents of the paving dis
trict be selected to make tour OF
the neighboring cities to obtain in
formation regarding the material to
be used in the paving for next year,
was again discussed. This is
thought by the council to be the
best, manner of settling the question
and the committee of the council
will probably be appointed at the
next meeting. For these committees
three councilmen and three citizens
will be chosen. The committee OF
citizens will be appointed by the
residents of the paving district.

CURLING AT TEN
CENTS ALINEAR FOOT
Fort Dodge Concrete Paving Has
Cracked Some, But on Whole
is Satisfactory.

Eds. Freeman Your let
ter to the city clerk was referred to
me for reply.
Fort Dodge has over thirty blocks
of concrete pavement, constructed
in 1910 and 1911. We have a boul-
eyard street over mile long which
is constructed with two driveways
with a center parking, built in
1910. We also have about ten
blocks of ordinary street with width
ranging from rs to 40 feet. We are
very we'll satisfied with our con-
crete pavement and while some OF
the streets laid in 1910 have crack
ed to some extent. due, think, to
poor subgrade which does not prop
erly drain itself, the pavement as
whole is very satisfactory, and does
not crack anymore than an asphalt
pavement.
In making the plans for our paw
ing, I departed from the usual rule
of making the curb separate, and
had the curb constructed as a part
of the street with no expansion
Joints running along the curb as is
generally provided for. The curb
was measured as street yardage'
measuring up the face and across
the top. This gave us our curb at
less than ten cents per foot. Our
prices were, on three contracts,
$3.50, $3.50, and $1.62, including
grading and cement.
I would be very pleased to show
you and a committee our concrete
streets any time you might come ov-
er.
I am sending you copy OF our
specifications. Yours truly,
Chas. H. Reynolds,
City Engineer.

NEW STREET SIGNS
BEING ERECTED
Fort Dodge Company is Putting up
Neat Sign Boards on Local
Streets.

The new street signs that are be-
ing placed on the different corners
in the city are a much needed i'm
provement. The signs are very
neat. They are painted black with
the names of the streets lettered in
white. Street signs are necessary in
every city of this size and the abb
sence of them here has made it very
inconvenfent especially to out of
town people who are directed to
places on the streets. The signs are
to be located on the telephone and
electric light poles on every corner.
1t is to be hoped they will be kept
in place in the future.
The new signs cost $117.25 and
are being put up by the National
Enameling company of Fort Dodge.

CONSTABLE HlME.

that Constable Himebaugh be allow

money. The favor was granted by
the justice and the two men started
out. They went to the home OF the
relative, but the cousin would not
or could not furnish the funds. Al
ter this other places we're visited

However, a few days ago MT.

Constable Himebaugh had been forc-

Runaway Terminated Luckily.

Chas. Tackett, employed with
Leonard & Carson. horse dealers,
narrowly escaped serious injury
yesterday while hauling hay from a
car on the Illinois Central track.
The team driven by Mr.. Tackett
il very high spirited and when they
were passing the Illinois Central
freight depot the horses became
frightened for some unknown cause
and started up Des Moines street at
a fast rate of speed. Near the
Northwestern tracks the hay, which
was in bales, started rolling OF the
wagon. As Mr.. Tackett was seated
on the hay he also fell. However
he managed to alight on the pave
ment with no injuries. The horses
continued in their flight until they
reached the Perry livery barn,
where one of them slipped and fell
on the pavement, causing the other
horse to fall with him. One OF the
animals was badly bruised about
the head and 1t is feared may lose
the sight of one of his eyes. The
wagon tongue and double trees were
smashed in the affair.
The runaway terminated very
luckily as the escape of the driver
from serious injury was certainly a
most fortunate circumstance.
