New Corrigan-Mckinney Property
Win Get Water on Same Basis
As Carpenter Mine

The ire OF the city council members
was aroused over the speeding that is
being INDUCED in on the main streets
of this city last Monday night and by
unanimous vote, the mayer was in
structed to inform the city marshal
] and the night watch that any delin-
quency on their part will result in
trouble,
! The complaint originated from an in
stance that occurred on the main
street during the day when one of our
prominent ladies came near being run
over by an automobile that was max
ing the grade at rate OF 80 miles
per hour.
Instance after instance was cited
where speeding has been INDUCED in
on the main street and where the
officers simply winked at the offense
The night watch was accused OF stand
ing and looking at speeder without
even reprimanding him.
Mayor Munns started out the fol-
lowing morning TO lay down the law
to the officers. City Marshal Broad
was instructed to notify at once every
auto driver to obey the ordinance
both in regard to the speed limit and
the cut-outs. He and the night watch
were given to understand that the
orders of the council must be obeyed
or something will happen.
There is one thing about Mr.. Broad.
you don't have to tell him twice TO do
his duty. He started out and notified
each and every person that he met and
knows as an automobile driver that
the laws will be enforced TO the letter.
Mayor Munns. after his interview
with the officials, went to the justices
and told them the temper OF the
council Is against any more s1.00
fines and they also promised TO fine
to the limit on all convictions in their
courts hereafter. The net is set. now
for the game.
The Nelson Water Controversy
A controversy has been going on
between the city, the board Of educa-
tion, the state board of health and
Andrew NJ Nelson over the tainting
OF the water in Mr.. Nelson's spring by
leakage from the sewer which was put
in by the board of education several
years ago and TO which the city has
been connecting patrons.
Mrs. Nelson contracted TYPHOID
fever from the water and Mr.. Nelson
complained. first to the local authori-
ties and then to the state board OF
health. The state board took the mat
ter up with DR. Metcalf. the city
health officer and he I'm turn went
after the local authorities.
conference OF the president OF the
school board, the city attorney and
the mayor was held last week and Il
was decided to investigate and find
out II either OF the municipalities had
been trespassing upon Mr.. Nelson's
rights. The council discussed the mat
ter and ordered that the ditch be
opened and examination made of the
sewer in question. II II Is leaking the
leak will be mended at once and
everything made secure so that a
repetition may not occur.
