COUNCIL THRASHES OVER
FIRE DEPARTMENT MATTER
BUT NO ACTION IS TAKEN
Next Week Appointed For Spring Cleaning by
EverybodyFree Transportation For Rubbish
---Aerodome Permit is ranted---Sixteenth
Street to Have improvement District-.-Alder-
men have Busy Session with Many Matters of
Interest.

The annual argument over tive
ire department Of Greeley was
heard Tuesday night at the city
council meeting when a committee
representing the volunteer fire COM
panies waited on the council TO urge
that chief selected by the volun-
teers be appointed in place of
George Nenables, auto truck driver,
who was selected a week ago.
The volunteers decline to work
with Mr.. Venables as chief They
claim that they always have been
allowed the privilege of selecting
their own chief and that they should
be allowed to do so this year They
claim that the paid department now
is not sufficient to look after the
city without the aid furnished by
the volunteers, that the auto truck
driver will be kept busy with his
duties on the truck and will not
have time to direct operations at
fires, that the present chief has not
the necessary experience to success
fully direct the tiremen. Unless a
change is made, say the volunteers.
their organization will withdraw
from active service.
1t is expected that some sort of
compromise will be reached. The
present ordinance does not seem to
fill all of the requirements and 1t
may be that new ordinance will
be drafted. defining more clearly
the powers of the council and the
relations of the city to the volun-
teers.
On behalf of the volunteers W.
Hall Thompson, Tom LaVelle, Paul
Geiser, E. B. Hatch and c. c. Town
send addressed the council. No
definite settlement was reached.
The ordinance creating an im-
provement district on Sixteenth
street was placed on first reading
and ordered printed.
The matter OF sprinkling was
held over until the petition for an
The Greeley tribune., 1912-04-11

oiled district in the business sec
ton shall be considered.
A petition for sewer on Four
teenth avenue south to Eleventh
stree and west on Eleventh was
received and referred to the sewer
committee A district on Thirteenth
avenue from Seventeenth street to
Thirteenth was discussed, but no
action can be taken because there
are not enough petitioners in the
district The board of health may
order sewers laid.
Some amusement was had when
Mr.. TempIeton made strong pro-
test against what he said was a
strong smell that came from the
reductng plant across the river The
council told him that as the insti-
tuition was not within the city limits
it was without the province of the
council to do anything AT this
Mr.. Templeton argued that the
plant might be out of the city limits
but the smell certainly got into the
limits. AS there seemed to be no
way of bringing the law to bear on
the smell complained of the matter
was dropped
j. A. McClintock, who has been
caretaker of the cemetery for the
past 20 years, has resigned and
Vincent Phenix was appointed.
Greeley is to have a whole week
for cleaning up. 1t was decided tC

The following paper on White
Leghorns was read by Clarence
Candlin of Eaton before the Weld
County Poultry association:
Take the world over, the Leg
horns, perhaps, are better known
than any other existing breed. The
White Leghorns originated from an
Albino sport of some of the varlet-
les of the Leghorns. in some OF the
countries along the MEDITERRANEAN
sea, one authority gives 1t as Spain
From here they spread over all the
countries of Europe, and about 90
or 20 years ago were brought over
to America. From living in the
warm countries along the Medlter-
ranian sea they gradually developed
to lay almost the year round
and almost entirely lost the hapit
of setting. Until about 80 years
ago they were not very white, more
of a straw color In this country
when they began forcing for eggs II
was found that the White Leghorns
would not stand the strain, but
would lay themselves to death.
Their backs were too short, also
their breasts and their bodies were
too shallow. When they became
fat there was not enough room III
bodies for their egg organs ana
many would die in the early spring

yeloped for more eggs their baehs
we're heightened, their breasts were
made fuller and more round, anu
their bodies We're made deeper
They have now for long time peen
bred for the purpose of getting 'he
most eggs possible, and from great
