THE results for the completed cy-

on the six original farms-fve Of
a marked showing for the result Of
a proper cropping system, good work

The average results per acre from

The average yield for the state is
from the bureau of statistics.
The results represent an increase
Of forty-seven and one.half per cent

per cent of oats over the state average
or the same period.

the annual appropriation ordinance
was the most important business TAX
en- up. Twelve thousand dollars Is

same sum that was appropriated last

following amounts for the various
funds: Interest, $2,400; sinking. 49,
900: general. $1,000. The second
reading Of the ordinance will be made
at meeting to be held Thursday.
Aside from this nothing but rou-
tine business was taken up. The
routine work included the allowance
Of bills. and the reading of the super
intendent's report.
The board also decided to use the
smaller and more northerly commit
tee room on the second floor Of tho
city hall as their permanent quarters.
Neither Of the committee rooms is
used to any great extent. and Mayor
Murphy suggested that the board use
one OF them. After an inspection Of
the rooms the board decided to take
the smaller one, leaving the other,
which is in direct connection with
the council chamber. for committee
work. This was reported to the coun-
Gil last night and favorably acted on.
