CITY WATER
IS REVENUE
PRODUCER
October Was One Of Biggest Months in
Year for Water DepartmeE..;;
Profits ST 200

This promises to be the record
month of the year for the city water
department with respect to revenue
and profit.
This morning the receipts for the
month had reached s2095.O9 with a
prospect Of being somewhat increased
before night. The expenses for the
current month will probably be kept
under the 5000 mark, making profit
over actual running expenses Of over
$12OO.
This is in marked contrast with the
showing made in September which
however, was not an average month
either in disbursements or receipts.
The receipts reached only $1559.40 and
the disbursements s15S1.91. A portion
OF the Rock Island account, which is
a large item, was left over for payment
this month and extraordinary expens-
es were incurred by the department IN

MAY SAVE
$4,000 in
INSURANCE
Water Department Weighed by Bureau
Inspectors and Was Probably Not
Found Waning

That about $4,000 in fire insurance
premiums will be saved to the people
of Chickasha every year as soon as
the result of the recent examinations
by the state insurance bureau inspec-
tors become known and effective, is
the opinion Of Frank Scrimager, head
of the city water department.
Il believe Chickasha will be taken
out Of the class in which she is now
rated and will be raised to higher
one" said Mr.. Scrimager.
1.-The inspector came to take our
measure and he certainly took it in a
way that it has never been taken be.
fore. do not believe we were found
wanting SO far as the water depart
ment was concerned. OF course what
the final. result will be can not be de-
termined here until action is taken by
the bureau. We had plenty Of water
and standard equipment and I believe
that everything was found to be in
good shape
The water commissioner. however
spoke only for the water department
without regard to the requirements
which may be imposed by the bureau
in connection with proposed changes
in the construction law, Of which the
garage resolution which was submitted
to the council on Thursday was part.

MASONIC
HONORSFOR
SHIPLEY
Church at POcasset Filled With People
Who Paid Final Respects to Stock
man Who Suicided

Impressive were the ceremonies
which attended the burial yesterday
afternoon with Masonic honors Of Vir-
gil Shipley the Newcastle farmer and
stock man who, while suffering from
the effects OF fall last summer. cut
his throat, dying almost instantly.
Delegations from Masonic bodies at
Tuttle. Amber. Minco and Chickasha
were present.
At the church the ceremonies we're
conducted by Judge r. e. Davenport
Of Chickasha who acted as master
while Judge e. Hamilton OF Chickasha
officiated at the grave, acting in the
same capacity. At the church euIo-
gy was delivered by Mr. Canan, life
long friends.
In the course OF the funeral address
Judge Hamilton said: "The law pre-.
sumes that when a man takes his life
he is insane. The law, however. has
nothing to do with charity, pity and
benevolence-that is a matter between
man and man and Christians ought to
be more charitable and considerate
than the law and should be satisfied
that when this tragedy occurred our
brother was not in his right mind.
MIR. Shipley was a widower, forty
seven years and II months old and
until the accident which affected his
mind a year ago was a popular man
in his community, having many friends
wherever known. The great crowd
which filled the church attested to his
popularity at Pocasset He was

lodge
