COUNTY DIVISION BILL
IS FINALLY DEFEATED

The County Division" bill which. II
passed, would take away a strip of the
northern end of Gunnison &C unity and
attach it onto Pitkin county, has failed
in the state legislature. This bill died
in the Senate on Tuesday Of this week.
after it had emerged from the commit
tee with favorable report, but too
late for passage.
II was thought that last week that
the county division matter had been de-
feated in the legislature when Repre-
sentative I. j. Thompson Of Gunnison,
county, killed the measure when it
made its appearance ON the floor of the
House, but early this week friends Of
the bill tried to revive it in the Senate,
and it looked for time hat there was
great danger Of its finally passing the
Legislature. 1t is reported that George
b. Taylor, general manager of the
Colorado Yuie Marble company, and
Frank p Frost, editor of the Marble
Booster, were in Denver this week
making every effort to get the bill be-
fore the Senate. They presented q
petition signed by nearly every tax
payer in Marble, asking that the Mar
BILE Crystal end of the county be given
to Pitkin county, forming the new coun-
~ of Aspen. as provided by the bill.
Last week the county division meas
ure came up in the House rather un-
expectedly, but Representative Thomp-
son was ready for it. He had the pro-
test of the Gunnison Chamber of Com
merce read before the House, as well
as the protest against the measure
published by the editor of the leading
paper of Aspen. He then moved to
strike the enacting clause and set the
matter squarely before the Legislators.
The vote. on his action was favorable,
and stood "a to 20.
The Marble people desired the bill
because it made the county seat more
accessible tn them than is GunnisOn, and
would give them better county high
school advantages. Gunnison is SO far
from Marble and so inaccessible for
them in the winter time, that q large
roundabout trip is necessary for those
who must come to the county seat, and
for students attending the county high
school.
Many Of the Marble people also claim
ed that they hsd not been treated fairly
by Gunnison county in the matter Of
the expenditure Of money in that d.

1t was reported out this week with .
Recommendation of horizontal cut on

C|TY LIBERAL
 WITH MEN WHO
 OFFER SERVICE

Married employees of the city of Phoe- nix will not suffer loss of nay or FNN~i tion through serving their country. Single men too, will have thelr posl- tons retained for them. but during the period of service either in the Reserve officers Training camp. or in actuai service. they will draw but half pay from the city Both married and single men will have deducted from the pay allowed them by the city, the amount they may receive from the government
 All this was decided upon al the spe cial meeting of the city commission yesterday morning. It followed out the general idea presented to the commits sion at a recent meeting by Mayor Peter Corpstein who at the time con scented to allowing the matter to go over until an opinion could be secured from the city attorney as to the powers of the commission in that respect.
 The matter was again called 10 the attention of the commission yesterday morning by Mayor Corpstein and this brought a motion from Commissioner Jones that the city employees be given half pay for three months. There was no second to the motion.
 Commissioner Woods then offered d motion that all city employees who en-
 
 allowed S75 per month and that their positions be held open for them. Com missioner Dunlap seconded this motion which finally carried.
 After the adoption of the motion Mayor Corpstein announced that while he had voted in favor of the motion he would liilWe to have it amended to read s100 for the married men and $50 for the single men. as he thought there should be some distinction, the married men having their families to support Commissioner Woods thereupon with drew his former motion. substituting one providing that the married men be allowed S100 and the single men han pay. City Slerk Thomas thought this was barring certain men from enlisting as they could not afford to go and leave their families without enough to sup port them. City Manager Craig Sald It would make a very slight difference to allow the married men full pay, as there were but two so far who had been accepted for attendance at the Officers Reserve Corps training camp.
 Commissioner Woods again withdrew his motion and moved that the married Elen be allowed full pay and single men half pay. their positions held open 1 for them, and the amount of any com ! penSation they may receive from the i government during their period of ser 1 vice be deducted from the salary al l lowed by the city. This motion received ! Q second from Commissioner MacBean and carried.
