Town Trussee, Meet.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
trustees of the Town of Dolores was
held in the Town hall Tuesday evening
with all members present excepting
Trustees Hughes and Byers. Trustee
Bradfield was late and the meeting
was delayed until he arrived to make a
quorum.
The business moved along in its usual
order until, in the reading of the bills,
the clerk encountered one from w. l.
Myler, amount $1.OO for bale of hay
eaten by town cows. This bill was not
attached to voucher and properly sub.
sribed to in the presence of the clerk,
neither was the number of pounds nor
the kind or quality of hay the bale con-
tanned specified. However, these little
Irregularities might have been swept
aside and the bill allowed except for
two reasons: First, the bill was &C.
companied by demand that it be paid
at once or court proceedings would be
instituted, and this SO intimidated the
trustees that the were unable to act
upon it in a free and voluntary manner;
second, in making the annual appro-
priation the trustees failed to set aside
a fund to pay for hay eaten by town
cows. After all these barriers to the
paying of this bill had been carefully
considered it was with sad hearts that
the trustees were compelled to lay it
aside for further consideration at
some future date.
Engineer c. c. knight was present
at the meeting and the matter of again
establishing a grade on Central avenue
was discussed, and Mr.. Knight ordered
to make a profile. The putting in of
abutments for a new bridge over the
river at Fourth street was also dis
cussed, and it was decided to get plans
and estimates of different styles of
bridges suited for spanning river like
the Dolores.
The clerks report showed that he
had been very successful in collecting
water rents, also licenses from stands
erected along the streets during the
Fourth of July celebration. The treas
urer's report showed something over
nine thousand dollars on hand.
The meeting adjourned until August
10th.

We would recommend that the Rio
Grande Southern shove the ties and
rails off their right of way and put on
a couple Case traction engines. Their
coaches could be placed on serarator
trucks, and in this way faster and safer
train service be installed. We will not
get anything from the railroad for this
suggestion SO we think the Case people
out to be pretty liberal.

There is considerable optomism
among the farmers of this section at
the present time. Crops are good and
it looks as if markets were going to be

usually get it, If we are afraid our
portion will be SKINNED milk, SKINNED
milk is usually what it is.
