Should be Enforced.

The spit ordinance that was pass
ed in the city some time ago should
receive more attention than 1t now
does. For some time after the ordi.
nance was passed it was needed by
all. However, there are always
some who do not think an ordinance
is worthy of their attention unless
the city police spend their time
watching them. The spit ordinance
is one OF the best city laws that has
been passed here.
A short time ago while lady
was walking to the Illinois Contra
depot she slipped and fell to. tht
ground, receiving several small
bruises as a result OF some men who
were chewing tobacco and expector.

WHAT IS THE CITY'S
PROPERTY WORTH
Why not Take an Inventory and
Find 0utg- Estimated at
at Least $75o,0O0.

Webster City ought to know how
much property she has in her own
right. Probably no town in the
state of 5000 people possesses as
much property as this city. What is
our electric light plant worth? What
is the waterworks valued at? Then
there is the city hall, market square,
public parks, fire house and equip
ment. But the biggest item is the
Kendall Young Library estate. 1t
was estimated a few years ago that
all OF the properties owned by the
municipality would total nearly q
half million dollars in value. Now.
If invoiced at the actual value, 1t
would probably total three-quarters
OF million Of dollars. II the coun-
ell has authority it ought to APP
point a committee Of citizens fami-
liar with values and take an inven-
tory OF the cfty's public property.

MUST PAY FOR PAVING;
50 SAYS THE COURT
Hardin County Didn't Want to Pay
for Improvement Around the
Court House.

Hardin county resisted the pay
ment of the assessment for paving
around the court house square in
that city, but the court has held
that the county must pay. The ma
tional government refuses to pay for
Improvements of this kind and no
doubt the board Of supervisors of
Hardin county thought they were
as big as congress and the president.
The county started suit to set the
assessment aside, claiming that 1t
was in excess Of the legal amount,
one contention being that the coun-
ty should not pay for paving to the
center of the street for the reason
that the sidewalk had been widened
and the county already had paid
for the walk. It was also contended
that the county did not in reality
own the park, but occupied 1t for
court house purposes.

OF the city council? Will we again
be compelled to come to another new
grade that may be established by
the peculiar and arbitrary ideas OF
a spick and span new engineer?
II am not mistaken the inter-
probation of the law is that when q
city through Its officers changes a
grade the city becomes liable for any
damages it may be to AUDITING prop
erty or the owner thereof.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune; do not
want the people Of Webster City to
get a wrong impression of the street
and curb line grades (known as the
Fox grades) from the opinion ac-
credited to the city engineer and
published in the Freeman-Tribune
ON the 18th inst, in which he at
tempted to tell why the established
city grades are not satisfactory. He
says that in several places the side
walks are lower and In one place
the sidewalk would be (almost) one
foot below the paved street. But he
does not tell why this occurs. neith-
er does he tell why he has left some
walks below the street grade and
some higher than necessary.
The writer's attention has been
called to several places where the
same city engineer has left the walk
lower or higher than the grade in
the district already paved. and In
some places where the street was or
3ginally at grade. It is we'll known
that the city council has allowed
individuals to build walks Just
whore they pleased, whether below
or above grade, and consequently If
the city engineer were to lay new
grades he would have to raise some
OF those same places or cut down
some other places below a reason.

believe he has already done in
some instances.

The article in question, (accredit-

the grades to be used are established
BY the city engineer. This is the
first time ever heard that the city
engineer had the legislative power
to establish city grades. / always
supposed that was done by the city
council on recommendation Of the
city engineer. But II 1t be so I
would like to ask for further lights:

Interesting "reminiscences.

Comrade Ben Mccoy Of this city
was a loyal virginian through the
"war for the preservation Of slav-
cry" and he says the rest of the
family were rebels--for Mac
hasn't learned yet to say "confeder-
ates." Here are few lines he told
the other day:
Father was q rebel and q bad one,
too-abouts as bad az bad could be.
One day a squad Of Union soldiers,
dressed In rebel gray. came to his
place and asked my youngest broth
er where father was. "Out back OF
the barn." said the little rebel. elk
ing up his gun to shoot Yankees
with There they found him at
work on one Of the old squirrel
rifles. and they took him with them,
releasing him in a few days.
MY Oldest brother was in the reb-
Ell army four years and never had a
cent OF pay or a bit Of clothing. All
the clothes he had in that time were
made by his wife who sheared the
sheep, spun the rolls into yarn and
wove the cloth from which they
were made.
MY brother next younger went in
to the rebel army at sixteen when
almost every man was fighting on
one side or the other. In three days
he was q prisoner and sent to Camp
Chase. He wrote me for a little
money which I sent, adding that III
he would promise to come home and
stay there I would do what could

heard anything from him directly
but after the war met a rebel
soldier who had been a prisoner
with him. He told me that on get.
