CITY COUNCIL
 ENDORSES HOOP"
PASSES RESOLUTIONS REOTEST- ING PINE BLUFF COMPANY TO
 MAKE IMPROVEMENTS,
Alderman Veil Presents Petition Claiming Water Rates EXOrbi-
 tant-Many Ordinances Passed

A discussion of water rates in ef- facs in this city and the passing of 1esslulion requesting the Pine Bluff Company to extend their tracks around Barraque street forming en up at the long sess' on of the city council last night presided over by Mayor A. C. Jordan and wijh all councilmen present except Alderman Johnson.
 A petition for the formation of Paving District No. 29 (Main street) was read and resolution naming Ice Clement, J. c. Watk k'ns and Charles Chesnutt as commissioners was passed A resolution, to which was attached a lcng list of signatures of property owners in al parts of the city requesting the council to ap- prove their action in asking the Pne Bluff Company to extend it's car line nolth on Main to Barraque, west on Barraque, to Chestnut or WalGut streets, thence south to Second ave- nue, was presented by Alderman Wolf. The matter of including the lcoD in the Improvement cOntemplat- cd by the company has interested many citizens and property owners and despite the fact that F. G. Bridges president of the Company, recently stated that the corporations emgin eers had recommended that no such extension be made at present as the additional milage necessary to oper- ate the cars would offset tho extra patronage of thegsystem, the business men on the streets that would be- ef- tected have not given up the cam- paign, Alderman Wolf made a strong plea in, behalf of the resolu- ton and was rewarded by seeing it passed unan mously. Alderman Fox also spoke on the subject. He said it was easy to get a petition for any improvement of that nature, that he had signed the petition and many others had signed it to keep from be- ing criticised, but did not think that the movement would have any partic- ular effect on the officials of the company if they had decided not to built it.
 A petition from Ed McCammon, who recently constructed livery stable at Second avenue and Ssate street. asking that he be allowed to construct a catch drain over which huggies would be- washed resulted in instructions to the ordinance com- mittee to bring in an ordinance which will force all liverymen to build a drain that will carry away the water and at the same time keep the mud from abstructing the sewers.
 Manager c. E. Baer of the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company, was giv- en permission to use the city street sweeper in cleaning up Olive street ofter the company gets through replac ing the pavement which was removed to lay gas mains.

difficulty in his being able to maintain the amount of his business but lncreas- ing it.. The small amount of large business lost in going to the city is amount Of small business coming from the city, as there is more activ ity among all people. It also largely affects the traffic of country people living on the line, as it increases by the use of the cars on account of their convenience and comfort. This was one of the surprises to mo as it changed to striking degree the old custom of the country people coming to town once or twice week with their horses, whereas now by the use of the cars they come daily.
 I recently gave talk on this sub ject before the Detroit Advertising Club, and will try and search for a copy of the address, as it was printed in the Eetroit papers.
 Do not hesitate to encourage the scheme, for am sure, by experience, that it will help both Little Rocl: and Pine Bluff and help one as much as the other
 Any further information that you might want, I shall gladly send you, and hope within day or so to get an extra copy of the above address.
 Respectfully,
 SIDNEY s. WILSON, Mayor.
 One From ZanesviIle.
 Replying to your favor of July 6, 1912.
 Zanesville is on the wrong end of the proposition for me to give an in telligent answer to your question.
 Our city is the largest in South Eastern Ohio, and is the terminal of two electric interurban lines which are certainly great feeders for our i city. We are little selfish in matters of this kind and are always looking for our end of the business.
 I have observed that small towns connected with Zanesville by electric lines are all live ones, and those not having any railroads or depending up on steam roads, are very slow towns. Farm lands along the route of our interurbans have increased wonder fully in value since the lines were built.
 Am not in position to say what effect these interurban lines have up- on business in smaller towns, but would suggest that you address the mayors of Roseville, Musk:ngum county, Ohio, and Crooksville, Perry county, Ohio.
 Yours very truly,
 JOHN H. SCHOFIELD,
 Mayor, Zanesville, Ohio.
 Springfield Replies.
 I wouldn't care to state positively that an interurban would not injure a small city twenty miles or less away, but I do know that Decatur, which is less than forty miles away has been greatly benefited ty the interurban system connecting it with Springfield and the whole contribu- tory territory seems much benefited. Lincoln is a smaller city and is only

Organ Recital.

The organ recital which takes place ton ght at Lakeside church will give lovers Of music a great treat. Mf. Charles Galloway is an artist in his line. He has only recently re- turned from four years sojourn in Paris, wlefe he studied organ and theory with the great mastar, Alex ander Kuiimans, and achieved sGc- cess in public work rarely atta red friendship to push them.
 One cf the most important concert engagements which ever fell 10 ,ha let of foreign students occur, ed when M.. Galloway apps ared in solo work at the world-famed Trccadero. where Mir. Guilmars has given C .n- certs fer the past twenty years. Mr. Galloway is the cnly pupil of the great organist whom he ever selected to appear with him at one of these performances. He played as his 5olo nunbeg the difficult Theme with variations by Thiele. His success was praised by all the Paris papers.

spirited argument in asking that Main street from BalraQue street to Sixth avenue ana Sec0rl avenue from Main to Walnut street be replaced inn mediately. He said it was an cut rage that the streets in the bus ness section of the city should te in such a ho. rible condition when ore brick mason and helFes could repair the bad places within thirty days It was dangerous to traffic, he adled, and called attention to the derc ga ory remarks made oy John MacYcar of Des Moires, Iowa, who delive ed an address here sone time ago on com mission form of government, i'll which he spoke of the deplorab,e condi- tions of the streets and the effect they had on visitors. Alderman Chestnut asked that the matter be held up until the street car con- pany 1elaid the rails on these streets.
 
 at the same time. He amended AL derman's Wells motion and it car riad With Wells the only dissenting vote.
 Mayor Jordan brought up tho mat ter of the City Beautiful Ladies oiling one mile of dirt streets in an effort to find remedy for the dust evil and appointed Aldermen 'ToX, Sheppard and Wolff as committee to confer with the ladies to decide on the street to he eXperimented upon.
 A statement from the Pine Bluff Company concerning the water rates paid by Pine Bluq consumers, and de- lending the meter system was the signal for Alderman Well to hand in petition, signed by about fifty prop erty owners, declaring that the water rate was too high. MT. Weill also presented a comparative statement of the rate in Pine Bluff and five other cities. He offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate the charge that the cor poration was imposing exorb!tant rates for the water supply.
 President F. G. Bridges, with the permission of the mayor and alder men, spoke in defense of the meter system and the rates now in effect. He stated that the flat rate was the same as in the cities mentioned by MT. Veil and that the meter rate had been fixed by agreement with the council. Since the installation Of met CTS the company's receipts have been no more, said Mir. Bridges, than when the flat rate was in effect. Through the use of the meter system the water supply can be controlled, he continued, thereby obviating any danger of low pressure in case of big conflagra- tion, and he declared that the insur- ance rate on buildings in this city has been reduced at least 40 per cent, or saving of $35,0OO per year to the insured, solely on account Of the water supply control. The matter was finally referred to the council as a committee of the whole and will be taken up with the water company lat CT.
 An ordinance providing for Jla dis position of garbage and refuse from hotels, restaurants and other public house was read once. The McGehee- Smith Lumber Company was given the privilege of building switch to their plant by ordinance.
