Soon to be Lowered.

The city council met Monday even
ing and though the guiding hand of
His Honor, the Mayor, was not in
evidence, matters received due atten-
ton.
1t was found that road roller was
efficient, the street committee declar-
ing that it performed even better than
the dope sheet would warrant belief.
The roller costs about $500 per diem
to operate. including an engineer.
The council ordered the street COM
mittee to sign the necessary due bills,
amounting to $3,2500O. and passed on
the consideration of the Webb engine.
The first of these due bills becomes
payable in August, 1918, and then one
every. six months until the roller be
paid for.
It seemed to be the concensus Of
opinion that the auto engine had more
than filled expectations and spefca-
tons, and the council decided to ac-
cept the report of the committee and
pay the cash. A small amount of this
money is to be kept back until few
small items are made good on the
machine. The purchase price of the
engine is $89sO.OO.
The matter of insurance on the en-
CINE was discussed and it was about
decided to insure the fre-fghter
against injury by fame. explosion, or
collision; this will cost the city in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 per year.
A. f. Brooks was chosen as the
night -man, the second night fireman
awaiting the action of the council after
the expert from the underwriters is
through adjusting the rates for the
city.
Mr.. Richard Beatty appeared some
what wroth with the venerable dads
anent a bill for cement work that had
gotten sidetracked. The matter was
Strengthened out amicably and war
rant will be forthcoming.
Considerable time was taken up by
the discussion of some ceuent bills.
1t appears that one of the lumber
yards had charged one cent too much
per sack for fifty-odd sacks of cement,
and while the superintendent Of
streets had issued voucher for CHS
additional charge, the council did not
feel disposed to allow the extra cent.
Careful discussion disclosed the fact
that according to an oral agreement
the yards had agreed upon price
for cement. The yard making the
extra cent charge claimed that cement
had "gone up" and they were Obliged
to make an additional charge to clear
expenses. The result of the discus
sion was that the city paid the bill.

F. state penitentiary by the convicfs. The
foundation which was also built Nv
prison labor was completed several
weeks ago. Some delay was caused
by the fact that the dressed stone
from the penitentiary failed to arrive.
Stone commenced to come in Satur-
day of last week and there is more
than enough material on the ground
now to complete the first story. The
remainder of the material will
be on hand before the completion Of

states that the building will be COM
pleted by the first of July.
The plan of Superintendent Stewart
contemplates modern up-to-date
stock farm. Only thoroughbred
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep will be
raised, on the $50 acres of land which
were given to the state for this pur-
pose by the enterprising citizens of
Nampa At present the farm owns a
small herd of Holstein dairy cows, 40
thoroughbred Berkshire hogs, and a
large stock of chickens. 1t is thought
that the institution will not only be
a pleasant home for the feeble minded
but will also be an important factor
in raising the standard of the live
stock of this section of the state.
The sanitarium farm for the feeble
minded and epileptic persons was au-
thorized by the eleventh session OF
the Idaho legislature. At this session
$4,000 was apportioned for the pur-
poses named. The commission APP
pointed by Governor Hawley selected
the site offered by the citizens OF
Nampa as the most suitable for the
institute. While there may be serious
question as to the advisability Of
scattering the state institutions as
they are scattered in this state, while
such is our method no one can ques-
ton the wisdom of the commission
when they accepted the site offered BY
Nampa.
