Hancock Department
COUNCIL TO DISCUSS STREET
WORK At MEETING TONIGHT
WILL CONSIDER PLAN OF ACTION
IN PROPOSED FRONT ST.
IMPROVEMENTS.

The Hancock city council viii meet
aFain tonight. AS II win be an adjourn
CA and not special meeting. any bust
ness can come before 1t and Il is
thought that several matters OF in-
portance VIII come up for considsre-
tlon.
The principal purpose of the meet
ing Is TO pass on the Front street inn
proyement plans auG listen 10 the re-
port Of the general manugar and the
mayor who were appointed as a COM
mittec To wait upon the Cooper estate
and secure their consent to the pro-
posed alterations In front of their
property.
General Manager Stockly declares
that If the proposal of Supt Lawton
of the Quincy is FIRST pursued. ramel,
the removal OF the wall in front of
The Cooper property and the use of
this material Co begin the an with. the
city win lose money and the entire
plan Of work may be delayed. Mr.
Stocltly IS strongly In favor OF begin
ming with Cooper avenue and finishing
The work there before the Front street
work is started, and it is probable lie
viii use AN his influence az tonights
meeting 90 secure the consent Of the
council i'm sanctionine his plan.
Another matter that was left over
to the adjourned session IS the read
ing and adoption of the new automo-
ille REGULATION ordinance which the
copper country automobile club Is try
ing TO get each of the copper country
towns To adppt. Mavor DODGE assured
The council that the ordinance is
GOOD one ana that ne believed Han
,ock should adopt it, hut the council
was unwilling to spend the necessary
time 10 listen TO the roading of the
proposed ordinance when it was
brought up at the REGULAR meeting and
go it was held over until the adjourn
ed meeting.
The third matter which viii be men
toned is the settlement of the mis-
understanding which arose between
the general MANAGER aud the council
over the amount that should be paid
for the making of surveys Mr. stock
~ presented a bin for 40 hours work
by an experienced engmeer who had
been making surveys and preparing
maps and blue prints of the new road
work and asked that the council pay
the bill which amounted 10 $50, The
council demUred stating that Mr..
StocNy was the city engineer and chat
ne was SUPPOSED TO do the surveying
himself. Mr. Stoellly told the council
that he had no time To do such things
as his time was entirely taken up with
other and more important work and
that t1 ask him TO spend his time on
surveys was unfair. Mr.. StoclllN ed
mitted that an experienced engineer
was doing the work but told the coun
cil that he was ouly being given the
pay of an instrument man while other
less highly experienced men were be-
ing "ivcn more for mechanical work.
The council acknowledged the truth of
this but refused to PAY The bin and the
matter was left over to the adjourned
session.

Slide Three Times Week Service will be Discontinued April 30th

in Advertisement for Bids

petitioning the department for
a line from Lubbock to Plains.
which petition was granted, and
the result will be now that we
will have a daily mail from
Lubbock west INTO the trade ter
ritory, almost to the line of New
Mexico. and springing from
this will be several tri-weekly
lines from Plains extending in
different directions giving Lub-
book mail connections with the
people who trade here, and who
transact all THEN wholesale and
railroad trading and business at
this point
The schedule for the new SER
vice is as follows:
Leaves Lubbock 900 O'Clock
a. m, arrives at Plains at 500
p. m. Leaves Plains at 500 a.
m, arrives at Lubbock at 800 p.
m. Time consumed IA hours.
The convenience to the travel
ing public will be greatly aug
mented by this service. To reach
Plains now one can stop at Lub-
book over night. leave here next
day and arrive at Plains at 800
O'Clock the same day. Hereto
fore it was impossible to get
TO Plains except by private con-
vevance. BY the aid of this
new service and the telephone
connections Lubbock can get in
closer touch with the people in
her large trade territory to the
west. 1t is a mutual benefit and
people all along the line have CO
operated in the effort to secure
better service and we con-
graduate the towns to the west
of us and snake hands with our
selves lubbock in having Sc
cured same. Come to Lubbock.
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1912-04-18

We have been asked so often
during the past week what had
become of the proposed mail
line from Lubbock to Plains, that
it affords us much pleasure in
this issue to be able to give
our readers information con-
corning the proposition.
Some time ago advertisements
were posted for bids on the SER
vice. stating that all bids must
be in the hands Of the proper
authorities not later than the 26
of March, and the mail service
was to begin by the 18th Of
April. 1t seems however that
the department got a little be-
hind schedule on the matter, and
postmaster Stubbs received in
formation Wednesday to the ef-
feet that the contract had been
let and rhat the new service
would begin on May lst.
l.. M. Macy, of Slide. was the
successful bidder for the service,
his bid being $34S9.0o per year,
We have not been able to get
an interview with Mr.. Macy,
but our authority states that the
service will be conducted by
mail hack. II was hoped that
this service would be made by
auto. and it is probable that il
will finally be done in that way.
This daily mail proposition has
been agitating the minds of the
people west of us for some time.
They first tried for a daily mai
service from Tahoka. but this
did mot seem to appeal to the
department as a feasible propo'
sition, so Lubbock people assls
ted by the people in the coun
ties west of US approached the
matter in different direction
