WANT SEPTIC TANK

win Amarillo install septic tanks

This question Is being debated In

from those passing north of the city
along the public highways leading
past the section of land belonging to
the municipality.
II Is suggested that the city should
install the newer method and thereby
prevent certain unpleasant and prob
ably unhealthful features The coun-
ell Is determined 10 use it's best en-
deavors TO place Amarillo on the
best basis possible from a hygionic
standpoint.

Automobile Club, which cost mill
lion dollars to build. II stands on
the site of the old war office. Three
years ago the Royal Automobile
Club, which is so large that it had
to hire a theatre for it's annual din
ner, had five thousand members.
The total of members and associates
is now eighteen thousand and there
is good prospect of doubling that
number. 1t has a kitchen that
would comfortably hold a mass
meeting. But the crowning glory
of the palatial home of the automo-
bilists is the swimming bath. It is
eighty-six feet long, thirty-two feet
wide, and is surrounded by marble
pavement approached by marble
staircase.
