$500 Owing to City
for Water Licenses

At last nights meeting of the
city council Mayor McClelland
called the councils attention to
the fact that there is owing to the
city up to May l, 1916, the sum of
$500 for water Considerable of
this arrearage has been accumulat-
ing for years and large portion
OF it is owing from large consum-
ers and well-to do people who are
able to pay. One concern actually
owes S23OO.71, says Mayor McClel-
land. and has been presenting bills
and collecting money every month
from the city. During the past
three years the city has paid this
one concern approximately S675
and has not received dollar in
payment for water. The mayor Or
dered the city clerk to hold up
the regular monthly warrants for
this debtor until settlement is
reached. Another consumer owes
$3O4, another $500, another $40,
and one who owes $50 has been
regularly collecting money from
the city. Mayor McClelland in
his remarks to the council, stated
that he had not previously y looked
into the water situation and until
April knew nothing of the delin-
uuency. He now wishes to go on
record as opposed to the lax system
fand in favor of getting the
money.
Water Commissioner Jones says
he has not wished to take it upon
himself to discontinue the service
to delinquen consumers n d
awaits the orders of the council.
If the $500 could be collected
it would hardly have been neces-
sary for the city to issue new
bonds amounting to $4,000 for
the necessary repairs and improve
ment of the water system. 1t is
now planned to raise the water
rates Is per cent but what action
will be taken to collect the $500
has not been decided.

Earl Hupp's salutatory was a
hearty welcome, and his essay on
"The Coming Flood of Immigra.

and thought on the part of a young
man ready to help Uncle Sam
grapple with such questions.
The address by Rev. Mytton,
introduced by pleasantly in which
he promised not to enlarge the

the tire, was full of thoughts of
vast good for the formation Of
character of the right sort.
He said that while knowledge is
power, character is vastly greater
power. ''All educated people are
debtors to the state. We should
pay our debts. No one without a
character is credit to the state.''

egotists; as beings with power,

Mr.. Mytton suggested that the
class choose as a flower for life the
dandelion which persists in beauty
and brilliancy, against all odds.
Though attacked and assailed
from all sides the little flowers bob
up serenely every spring He be-
lleves that persistency is one of

Miss Fannie Thomas in her

PROF, ]. ]. GREARY.

Professor Greary is best known to the
Denver public in connection with his ex.
cellent dancing academy at l646 Califor-
mia. For all young people of the city
who have any degree of fondness for
the grace and poetry of notion" this
place of instruction and delightful rec
reation is ever a popular attraction; and
no less agreeable and popular is the ac-
complished terpsichorean instructor.
Professor Greary has won deserved re-
nown as teacher of ball room dancing
and is no less proficient as a teacher and
trainer in all kinds of artistic tripping
of the light fantastic" He is a teacher
of perfect action, of grace and pose and
euIipose. and. in these respects, his fin
ished pupils are men and women of ar
tistic accomplishments. Glasses in dane
ing have lessons at the academy from 2
to p. m. and Z to Q p. m; social
dances OF evenings. Professor Greary as
sures perfect discipline and order, is uni
formly courteous and affable to his pu-
pills and visiting friends and is reason
able and considerate in his charges. He
receives the patronage of all classes aud
no man in the city has shown a more
amiabl and friendly spirit toward the
wage earning and working people,
among whom he numbers many of his
pupils and welcome visitors. The Bulle-
tin desires to say that the recent crit
icism of this popular dancing academy,
which appeared in one of the daily pa
pers. was unjust and without foundation.
