HOLD FOURTH
ANNUAL MEET
REPORTS SHOW THE AssocIA-
TON HAS EXPENDED FOR SICK
AND DEATH BENEFITS SINCE
ITS ORGANIZATION $1,oeeo5.

Members of the Volunteer Veteran
Firemen's Association held their fourth
annual meeting last night, elected off,
GERS, heard reports and talked over
matters of the past year. The reports
showed that the association during
the past year had expended $465.00 for
sick and death benefits, and the
amount expended for these purposes
since the organization of the associa-
work that is being done by the asso-
citation.
The annual election of officers re-
suited as follows:
President. n. Andrews.
Vice President-Thos. F. Wrighton.
Recording Secretary-Dan Murphy.
Financial Secretary-Hack R!era.
Treasurer-James McHugh.
Board Of Trustees-Chris. Thiesen,
H Muller and Thos. Johnson.
Grand Marshal-Chris. Thiesen.
Report of President.
The annual report of President An
drews, read at the meeting, said in
part:
Another mile stone of our associa-
ton has been reached. Various things
have occurred since my last report.
We have some new names on our roll.
Of which we are glad, but we miss
some OF the I2mllaT races, as ESOnle
of our members have answered the
last roll call while others are seriously
i'll. Some of our members have fallen
behind in their dues. though they are
light, and these have become indiffer-
ent. Our little organization has done
a great deal of good, and l think, will
compare favorably with any in this
section.
Since the last annual report we
have paid out for sickness and in
juries $215.O0 and for death benefits
$4,000 making total of s465.0 90
since August 6, 1911. The names Of all
parties receiving benefits are append
ed with the amounts they received.
Now, as / have been so kindly
treated by the association since it's or
ganization, and feeling a great inter
est in its future, / would urge a
prompt attendance at the monthly
meetings, a regular payment of the
small dues, and the kindly feeling Of
the members for each other"

The First Presbyterian church in
this city will soon be on true busi-
ness basis with all of its affairs in
the hands of a paid business mana
ger. The large and successful busi.
ness institutions require manager,
argued the church elders and trus-
tees in their big joint meeting last
night, "and no less does modern
church require keen business head
to direct its affairs and keep the n
nancial problems in hand. :" The ac-
tion taken by the officers last night
empowered the trustees to secure
business manager at once to manage
the business AFFAIRS of the church.
The local church is the first in the
etate. If not in the entire west to
have a business manager employed.
No church in the state is in better
financial condition today than the
Presbyterian church here. but it is
the intent and purpose to maintain
it as such and take part OF the load
from the shoulders of those who had
been handling it in the past.
The meeting last night was well

Sam A. Meyer. at one time a local
newspaper man, and brother of Louis
Meyer of Clifton, leaves Denver to-
day to testify against William Leg
leitner of Denver, formerly n member
of the executive board of the Iron
Workers union. The nature of Mr..
Meyers testimony is not known here;
but that he is an important witness
Is proven by the fact that his attend
ance was insured by a federal sub

Mi. Meyer is n brother of Louis
Meyer, editor Of the Clifton Success.
He, with Thomas Lindsay and Eli
Admire, owned and edited the Adver-
tiser, a short-lived free daily paper

PAVING COST IS
ANNOUNCED BY
R0MbERG
City Engineer Makes Public the
Schedule Of Assessments
for Cement District.

The schedule of assessments
against the lots in paving district No.
l was made public today by City En-
gineer f. r. Romberg. While the
actual cost OF the paving is $1,000
less than the estimated actual cost,
the total cost to the lot owner is in
some respects higher than the esti-
mate originally given out. This ad-
ded expense is made by the interest
On the bonds and the added 6 per
cent for collections and other incl
dentals. These items were included
in the original ordinance authorizing
the new district
The figures prepared by Mr.. Rom
berg show that the actual construc-
ton cost was S4.l06 per cent of the
assessed cost, the other l6 per cent
being made up by the heavy interest
payments.
The total cost. exclusive of the ap-
portionment OF the street car COM
pany. is $S9,l7S.SS. The car COM
pany pays in addition s24,19S.S9.
The heaviest burdened lot is that on
the corner of Sixth and Main, owned
by the Elks' Temple association.
The Denver & Rio Grande assess
ment to the front at the union depot
was $1,06l.l0.
1t is probable that many lot own
ers will find their assessment con-
siderably higher than was anticipat-
ed. The fact that the addition of the
interest and collection items was not
generally known accounts for it.
