FLY CONTEST CLOSES.
MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED -l5S ,l53
FLIES BROUGHT I'm.
Prizes TO Be Given Monday Might.
Contributions SOliCtted---Ffee Show
At Opera House.

The fly contest which was started
On April 10Th closed On Friday the
31st of May. The Society for the
Promotion Of the Public Welfare feels
that a great deal OE good has been
accomplished by this contest, and that
"a wide spread interest, not only in
flies but in public health and santa
tion,ha been aroused which will ulti-
mately work for great good not only to
the town but to the whole OF the coun-
ty. During the month, 90 children en-
tered the contest among whom were II
cOlOred children and the total amount
, Of flies brought in was 1888. We
have also learned that nearly every
housewife in the town has been kill
ing all the flies possible, and we feel
safe in saying that nearly 100000
flies were killed during the month OF
May. Allowing for the normal in
crease, this means that we will have
two hundred million less flies IT, our
midst during August a. one fly in
May means a million IN August IT,
addition to the flies destroyed the mer-
chants report large sale OF fly traps
and at this time there are many OF
them being set out of doors and large
numbers Of flies are being caught ev-
cry day, and 1T il hoped that before
the summer is ended that nearly ev-
cry family I'm the city will have sew
eral traps setting out In addition to
this, arrangements have been made
for the daily removal Of manure, and
a large number OF persons have said
that they will place the manure from
their stables and hog pens In the al
ley each day for removal, and At IL
hoped that others win see the advant-
age of lit for the summer months. The
City Council has not yet established
a daily garbage service but IL f. con-
f1dently expected that this will soon
be done, and thus with the fly traps
set, the breeding places being remov-
ed and the feeding places as well ii
is not too much to expect marked re-
suits in the campaign during the first

 Questioned about the policy of the use of measuring devices. Mir Davis said it was the only plan for ef- fectively combating the greed of the water hog" Of which there are at least one ir every community as il would tend tO stop the excessive and W1stcful use of water. For when q
 man has to pay extra for all the water he uses over a certain amount the engineers believe he will endcaVor t. take better care of the water when he is using it and will not ruin his land by using too much. In this opinion. Supervisor Hill. who was present. coincided.
 Mir. Hill also came in for some of the grilling, a question being put to him bS a member of the Land Owners Protective association. who was present He was asked if it was a fact as reported on the street. that a water meter in use on the project was the invention of a relative and that he was profiting by it? Mir Hill replied that his father had devised meter and his model had been inn proved upon by some of the boys in the lacal office and some had been tried eXperimcntallv. but not found satisfactory on account of bearings wearing where they run under water. Then Mir. Hill ST, had invented an oil bearing meter. which was being tried and the profit he was getting out of it was the opportunity to spend money in perfecting it. It is not cost ing the project anything.
