now gives notice Of cts intention to

Alderman We'll explained that by
the terms of the franchise under
which the water plant is being oper-
atcd, the city has the opportunity, at
stated periods of purchasing the
plant. and if the plant is not pur-
chased. the old franchise is perforce
renewed for another period of years.

"but I offer this resolution, to give
the company the necessary years no.
tice, in order that the people of the
city may discuss the matter at length
and decide what it is desired to dc
in the matter"
Mr.. We'll called the attention of the
council to the additional fact that the
franchise of the lighting company al
SO expires next month but the light
ing franchise does not contain the
provision Of the water franchise, rela-
tive to purchase by the city. II was
stated last night that without doubt

referred back to the cemetery COM

There was nothing before the coun-

Gil except generalities as to what is
planned by the landscape company
which is seeking the. work. A repre-
sentative of the company, Mr..
Shrewsbury, informed the council
that much additional brrying space
would be added to the cemetery, if it
is replatted by his company, and
that this saved space could be sold
for sum sufficient to more than pay
for the cost of the improvements.
The improvements would consist not
only of Identification and landscap-
ing Of the grounds, but of the cree
ton Of resthouse, receiving vaults,
and other such features. He stated
the company would take the city's
scrip at one year, giving the city the
privilege of renewing for another
year such scrip as is not paid when
due.

Council Grants Petition to
Organize Important Street
Paving District.
CITY MAY BUY
WATER WORKS PLANT
Alderman We'll Introduces Resolution,
Which Is Adopted, Stating Councils
Intention to Make Purchase-De-
lay Cemetery Matter.

The city council last night unani-
mous]y granted petition for the or
ganization of street improvement dis
trict No. 80, adopting, under sus-
pension of the rules, the necessary
ordinance, and Immediately after
wards granted the petition fer the
formation of curb and gutter district
No. 4, also adopting under suspension
of the rules, the ordinance necessary
in this instance.
The two propositions are virtually
one, although two different districts
were necessary to carry on he work.
The new paving district IS proposed,
to pave Poplar street, between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth avenues; Six
tcenth avenue between Poplar and
Hickory streets; Hickory street be-
tween Sixteenth avenue and Harding
avenue; and Harding avenue to the
beginning of the Sulphur Springs
road.
The paving will be of asphaltic
concrete on Poplar and Sixteenth,
on which streets the paving will be
81 feet in width. High grade gravel
will be used on Hickory and On Hard
ing avenue, these roads to be 10 feet
in width, to conform with the Sui
phur Springs road.
The curb and gutter district en-
braces only the building of concrete
curbs and cutters in Poplar street
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth ave-
nues, and in Sixteenth avenue be-
tween Poplar and Hickory streets.
where the asphaltic concrete paving
material Is used.
The proposed new paving will ex-
tend about one and quarter miles,
and will close the gap of poor, un-
paved roadway between the pr ssent
terminus of the Sulphur Springs pike
and the paved streets of the city. 1t
has long been said, that "the Sulphur
Springs pike is of little value be-
cause it does not enter the city" The
proposed new paving district will re-
move this defect.

city needed other things which are
more important, and others asserted
the city will be adding another $4,000
debt of its already heavy burden, but
the greatest cause of argument appear
ed to be the absence of any definite
plan or description Of the work con-
templated by the Hughes company
landscape engineers. 1t is expected
the proposition will he whipped into
more definite shape before the next
meeting of the council.
City Attorney Earl S. Wood was
granted leave of absence from June

The apron is a vcry pretty one and it

neck. 1t is very simple too, there
being only the shoulder and under-arm
seams. The belt is passed over she

sides while the apron itself is closed
at the back. Checked gingham, cham
bray, percale, lawn and butchers
linen are the materials most used for
such aprons but it is quite easy to
give a touch of individuality and
distinction by the finish. The apron
Of blue chambray thar is finished
around the neck and the arm-hole edges
with a cross stitch design worked
in red would be quaint and attractive;
the apron OF sage green chambray
that is trimmed with bands of black

personal touch can be given the
garment as simple as it is.

scented to give her views on women
