PRONUNCIATION.

One q lh- standing causes Of face
tious comment b. visitors from the
east is the difference between the
pronunciation here and along the At
lautic. This criticism arouses either
spirit Of resentment or in some
cases q feeling Of uncertainty lest

stance We may be wrong.

Mr.. Hudson bought with his line Of
yards and 100 machines were pur-

MUST FIX SEPTIC TANKS.
Mayor Says Company Which installed
Them Shall Put Tanks in Order

Mayor William Roberts, who, to-
gether with the city engineer and
several members Of the board OF
city commissioners, visited the east
side septic tanks a few days ago,
says those tanks were found to be
in a condition far from satisfactory.
Mr.. Roberts further states that he
notified Mr.. Maxcey of Houston, Tex,
Of the company which installed the
tanks, that he would have to pur
them in thorough working order and
that the reply he received simply
stated that if the city authorities
would follow out the Instructions Of
Mr.. Maxcey's company the tanks
would do the work. Acting in the
matter the mayor has instructed City
Attorney Mason to take such steps
as he may find necessary in the mat
ter. The septic tank company en-
tered into an indemnifying bond
with the city when it installed tie
tanks and Mr.. Roberts says tnat he
proposes to see that the company
makes its tanks deliver the goods
according to contract. He says the
taxpayers of the city have paid for
service and it is now up to the tank
company to give them that service
