Shad are scarce. according TO deal
ers here. That's the reason they're SO
expensive There was a drop the past
week of roe shad to IS cents from 81, and
of buck shad from 30 to 81 cents. but 1t
is not expected this will be permanent,
II is declared. because the supply being
taken from the river is so small. Few
shad have been taken from above Mary

at Windmill Point. on the upper side of
Potomac Creek. were suspended about a

New England manufacturers are up

their efforts to prevent the reductions
in schedules which they now fear are

Not only have the duties been cut

especially are alarmed ani say they Will

All Contracts Let.

All contracts for the water works
sewerage and electric light plants
have been let.
In addition to those announced
last week the following have been
let:
Tank and tower, 1873 feet to top,
Memphis Steel Construction Co., of
Memphis, Tenn, for $3575.
General Construction contract
goes to the Commercial Construction
Co., of Kansas City for $4,000.
Work will commence probably
by August l, and is to be complet-
ed on or before Feb. 1, 1914.
The electric light plant is to be
improved, the current changed from
direct to alternating and current is
to be on 24-hours per day. This
will be great convenience and will
yield the city quite an increase as
there will be much machinery run
by electricity and many gasoline
engines will either change their To-
cation or be out of a job.
Monroe City with its water works
and sewerage system and an all day
electric service backed by our hust-
ling citizens will forge rapidly to
the position to which it is entitled

DEAD LOCK ON
 REMOVAL BILL
Both Houses Are Stubborn on Measure Providing for Method of Changing Site of County Governments
SIMS IS DETERMINED

The effort 10 have a Jaw passed by which it would be possible to re. move the county seat of this county is having rough road through the legislative wilderness, es will be 6l- served from the following from the ArizGna Gazette 0! Saturday last.
 The senate and house are now deadlocked on the county seat re moval b'il hoUse r;il 70. The Rob erts-Pace amendment is caus,ps aIl the troutle.
 ''C0cnssc coslHtT is thr ully ono in which there is any agitation for the removal Of the county seat There Douglas aAd Bisbee are trying to have the county seat removed from Tombstone. and the Roberts Pace amendment. it. is charged would eliminate Bisbee as a candidate.
 This amendment provides that the new court house of Q county shall be placed on site not less than an acre in area. and that only a major. ity of the votes cast at a special cleo tion calico for that purpose shall be necessary to carry a proposition for county seat removal. The house has been bclSirg out fer sixty per cent.
 It is stated that 1t is impossible to secure a rlIl acre within tie cor porate limits of Bisbee. Charges have been made that the Tombstone peo- ple are behind the Roberts amend. ment because they feel that if Bis bee cannot be the county seat many of her supporters will vote against locating the court house at Douglas.
 Two conference committees have been appointed from the house and senate. Yesterday Q majority of the second committee recommended that the senate recedei and eliminate tho Roberts amendment The minority E recommended that the house recede
