BASH & GRAY ACCOUNT SETTLED

AS q, closing chapter in the sewer
matter we wish to note that the Bash
& Gray claim against the city for
something variously estimated from
$500 to $1,000 has been settled for
$500.
This is an affair about which there
has been a considerable amount of
controversy and which might have
cost the city all that the contractors
claimed, and possibly much more if
it had been carried into court. TAX
ing into consideration the fact that
the account arose principally through
iooseness of the contract governing
the construction work, and the addi-
tlonal fact that for the same reason
the city is practically at the mecry
OF the engineer in charge of the work
so far as testiomny before a court is
concerned, We are strongly Of the be-
lief hat a gOodly sum of money was
saved for the city by this compromise
measure.
This settlement is largely due to
the efforts of a man not officially
connected with city government at
the present time, but whose ability to
thresh out complicated questions of
this nature is unquestioned and who
has probably saved the city enough
on this one settlement to pay the ex-
pense of commission form of govern
ment for many months to come. No
one questions the fact that the firm
in charge of the sewer work have
come out financially loser in the game
and they cannot be blamed for desir-
ing to take advantage of points not
covered in the contract to add to the
revenue which they derive from the
job.
This probably ends the sewer con.
troVersy, at least so far as the pres.
ent council is concerned.

HERoLD-1UBBs WEDDING.

The Baptist church was the scene
Of very pretty wedding at five
O'Clock, on Tuesday evening of this
week, when Rev. E. H. H. Tubbs per-
formed a beautiful wedding ceremony,

and lighted with subdued lights and
candles. Mrs. j. D. Cutlery presided
at the piano. To the strains of the
Lohengrin wedding march, the bridal
party took their places beneath an
arch of bridal wreath, where the GER
emony was performed. The attend
ants were Miss Roby, of Stafford, as
the brides maid, and Mr. Charles
Herold, brother of the groom, as
best man. The bride was beautiful
in a dress Of pure white chiffon over
satin, carrying roses. ;
About sixty invited guests were

of the groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Herold, Mr.. Charlie Herold, Miss
Fleming, all of Ellinwood; Mrs. Pot

HUTCHINSON BUSINESS MEN AT
LARGE.

A jolly crowd Of about 125 business
men of Hutchinson who ahd been on
a Booster Trip to HugotOn and var
ious other towns west and southwest,
were here Friday.
They had attended the big celebra,
tino at HugotOn, given in honor of
the advent of the new railroad into
that territory and had worked back
to Dodge and thence eastward. They
arrived here at las and consumed
an hour in providing for the wants
of the inner man and calling on the
business people of the village. Some
excellent music was rendered by the
band which accompanied the train.
The roster of the firms represented
on the trip was printed on straw
board turned out at the new factory
and was scattered broadcast and
stickers boosting for the Kansas State
Fair adOrn the landscape in whatever
direction you look. Great Bend and
Barton county are with Hutch on the
State Fair proposition and, in fact,
On almost everything else which
boosts that city or Central Kan
sas. These trade trips will probably
be an annual feature from now hence
forth. So mote it be.

MoRRIsoNs DRAW CONTRACT.
Work Will Begin Within Few Days

At an adjourned meeting Of the city
council on Friday morning, the con-
tract for laying the big outflow pipe
from the septic tank to the creek, a
distance of 1O,2OO feet, was awarded
to Morrison Bros, formerly of this
place, now of Kansas City, on their
bid of $1S,494. Preparations are be-
ing made as rapidly as possible to be'
gin the work and while no date has
been set for commencing, it is prob
ably safe to say that dirt will be NOV
ing by June l if not before. At a ses-
sion held later the same day provis-
ion was made for the issuance OF
bonds to the amount Of $450O, which
amount is necessary in addition to
$4,000 recently provided for this pur
pose.
