HIRE NOW

With the vote in the council stand
ing six and six on the question wheth-
5000 appropriation for the city
treasurer's office for extra clerk hire
should be allowed, it was put up to
Mayor Smalley at the regular council
meeting last night to cast the deciding
vote. Mayor Smalley voted in favor
of the appropriation.

priation were Moriarty, Kahl, Schultz,
Hover, Kane and Lauer. The absent

5000 appropriation is asked for extra

should be in his office at this time in

NEWS CONCERNING
THE P. 0. BUILDING
Congress Has Authorized the Expend'
iture Of $3.50 Towards Erec-
ton Of Building For Denison
ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS LATER
Authorization Of Four Years Ago Was
$4,000. Should be Increased
$4,000 or More.

By way of encouragement to those
who are in doubt about the govern
ment proceeding with the public
building in Denison, We call attention
to the fact that congress has author
lied the expenditure of $4,000 to-
ward the erection of the building here.
The authorization four years ago was
for $4,000, but the amount appropri-
ated for beginning the building is for
half the authorization. AS the work
proceeds additional amounts will be
appropriated until the full amount has
been consumed. The cause Of the de-
lay in appropriating the money has
been because the Office of the super
vising architect has been behind in
it's work and it is now ready to pro-
coed with the building here or will be
in a short time. No better assurance
can be given that the building will be
erected than the appropriation just
made by congress. Some of the cit
liens got the impression that the
amount had been cut down one-half,
but such is not the case. The appro-
priation was made to begin the work
and it is not intended that the amount
appropriated will be sufficient to COM
plete the building. Some of the back
ers of Congressman Woods will prob
ably undertake to claim that he was
responsible for the action of congress
on the day of the primary, but he had
nothing whatever to do with it. If
Congressman Woods wishes to show
his influence in congress he can do it
by having the authorization increased
$4,000 more, which was the amount
given Estherville, his home town, by
his predecessor, but it is dollars to
doughnuts that he will not secure any
increase. He may give us a proverb,
but nothing more helpful.

WHAT MASON CITY THINKS.
The Daily Globe-Gazette Speaks Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Allan F. Beck,
Recently Married.

The Mason City Daily Globe-Ga-
zette has the following to say in re-
gard to the Strahan-Beck wedding,
which was held in Denison two weeks
ago this evening:
"The wedding of Allan F. Beck,
member of the firm of Beck Bros,
this city, to Miss Clara Strahan,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Strahan, Denison, will occur this even
ing at the brides home. The an
nouncement of the marriage was not
made to friends in the city till today.
Miss Strahan has been in the office
of the FRANKIE Land company for the
past year, coming here after finishing
course in the Cedar Rapids Bust
ness college, following her graduation
from the high school at Denison. She
is most charming young woman and
has won many friends during her res
ldence i'll Mason City, where she will
again be at home within few weeks
A sister of Miss Strahan was brides
maid and E. G.. Dunn, of this city
acted as best man. Mr.. Beck is the
son of Mrs. Anna Beck, this city. He
is native of Lanesbaugh, Mimi, but
early in life went to Fort Dodge and
learned the pharmacist business. Or
attaining his majority he opened
business for himself but disposed o.
it and came to Mason City, where he
associated himself with the Iowa Lane
& Credit company and later organized
the firm of Beck Bros. Mr.. Beck is
a young man of fine qualities, a gooe
comrade, a keen business man ane
one of the Corners. Since the cam
paign for the democratic nomination
for governor, he has managed will
considerable skill the campaign of E
G. Dunn"

STREETSAND ROADS
IN BAD CONDITION
Somebody Should Shoulder Blame for
DepIorabIe Condition Of Deni-
sons Streets and Highways.
SHOULD HOLD PUBLIC MEETING
Merchants Should Insist That Better
Conditions PrevaiI-Denson Has
Reputation for Bad Streets.

Somebody should take the blame fol
the unsatisfactory condition of the
streets and highways about Denison
| 1t is a notorious fact that there is
not another town in Iowa against
| which so much complaint is lodged
on account of the public highways
and streets as is the case here. II
it is the mayor and council who are
to blame for it, they should bear the
censure. If others are to blame then
censure should rest against them. The
street commissioner was selected be.
cause he was supposed to be an ideal
man for the place and We are not
disposed to say that he is not, but if
the responsibility is upon him for
keeping the streets and highways in
proper condition, then his reputation
is liable to suffer. Strangers coming
to or going through the city do not
hesitate to charge that the highways
are better the further they get away
from Denison. The street commission.
er says that he employed VIM. Coch
ran to drag the roads in the southeast
part of the city and he excuses his
responsibility by mentioning this
fact. If Mr.. Cochran has been en-
ployed to look after the streets and
highways in his neighborhood he
should attend to them or somebody
else should be employed. We dislike
to speak of this matter, but we feel
that the reputation of the community
is at stake and something should be
DONE Money is provided for the
dragging of the roads and streets and
for keeping them in condition and
someone should explain what is being
done with the money and furnish
some reason why the work is not be-
ing done. The merchants OF the city
should insist upon calling public
meeting and agitating until some re.
sponsible person is placed behind the
proposition of maintaining better
streets and highways.
