COUNCIL MEETING
 MOSTLY INFORMAL

The city dads were not in a mood Tuesday night to trans act formal business and mo- tions were not in order to any extent. Many municipal mat ters were discussed in an infor- nal way and at the next regu- lar meeting they will doubtless be put into form of motions.
 The meeting of. the council was called to order little after eight o'clock. Mayor Watson was in the chair and Council men Kirkpatrick and Miller made the quorum. Town Clerk Lee was in his place and Mar shal Bobby Burns was on hand but Town Attorney Gold was absent. The minutes of the last meeting were read and aprov- ed; the monthly bills were pre- sented by the clerk and order ed paid and the council then gave a ''once over" to the ques- ton of cutting the pines on the townsite; of removing the tin cans in a cleanup; of collect ing the dog tax more effective ly; of Mrs. McCoy's.addition to her house without a permit; of sidewalk construction and of means for the collection of de linquent taxes. -----.,t.ssr >--e
 On motion of Councilman Kirkpatrick the council in- structed Clerk Lee to notify those who are delinquent in their taxes and inform them that a delinquent tax list will be published in thirty days. and that their names will be includ- ed if their taxes are not paid before that.

$. r. ENTERTAINMENT
 DRAWS FULL HOUSE

The Santa Fe entertainment given at the Sultana Tuesday night, while for the particular benefit of Santa Fe employees was enjoyed by a great many. others and a full house listened to the University of Oklahoma Glee Club. Whatever may be thot of University Glee clubs in general, all who heard the Ok lahoma University club will testify that this University glee club in particular had a fine program and rendered it eX- ceptionally we'll. The audience showed appreciation by encor- ing every number and encoring some repeatedly. Great ap- preciation was shown If the work of Joshua B. Lee, Imper- senator and Cartoonist. The audience would hardly let him go. His impersonation of an old man and of a negro preach CT were very telling. The chalk work of MT. Lee, deI icting scenes from life. appealed to all and many sketches were ir- resistably funny. As a chalk artist he ranks high.
 The glee club has good voices and it would be hardly fair to make distinctions, yet it may be noted without prejudice to any that the baritone and bass were strong. The song, Mother Me Cree, by MT. Hardin, baritone, made a hit and MT. Hardin was encored tumultously.
 The Santa Fe entertainment was a treat to Williams aud- itors and all would be glad to join in a vote of thanks to the Santa Fe Company.

Another Cesspool Being Dug

Talk about a sewer system for Williams! Keep Jack Far rel busy and use the cesspools he will dig in years time and Williams will have a complete sewer system. Within few weeks Farrel has dug two cess pools and he is now on the third. Had those who need sewer service been ready to set Jack at work he would have dug several more, meantime.
 Jack Farrel has an affinity for the cinder beds which it is. evidently, hard to resist. When started on a hole, he can not be stopped until he has gone 25 feet into cinders. He is now digging a cesspool in the south west quarter of Block 32. In this case he is digging for him. self, having a 99 year lease on a plat of ground 8 feet square Having completed his cesspoolI Farrel will sell concessions to those wishing to use it. He will be able to accommodate the residents on several nearby blocks and make a local sewer system. By an extension of local systems the town will be covered and severed.

ONE WAY ID IMPROVE
 WILLIAMS WATER

One way of improving Will Hams Water supply would be that of fencing the watershed draining into the Waterworks dam, and excluding stock from that area. The grazing of stock in this section is bound to ser iously impair the quality of the water secured. Hoping to find a solution for this problem, the News has taken the matter up with Forest Supervisor Greene and finds that the exclusion of stock from this drainage area may easily be accomplished.
 It will only be necessary for the Town of Williams to ar range for the proper fencing of this district and ask the Forest Service for permission, to fence in the interest of the public good. The area is not great and the cost of fencing would be small in consideration of the advantage to be gained. If the Town does decide to purchase the present water plant the fencing of this area ought to be one of the first measures un- dertaken to improve the quail ty of the water.
 Due to the small area of country draining into the water works dam, the importance of this canyon from grazing standpoint is insignificant. Sheep are not allowed to graze in it at present and the number Pof cattle grazing there is small.
 The News recommends to the Town Council that this ques- ton be looked into at once, and that the cooperation of the For est Service be sought in the matter.

The second regular meeting of the Williams Development Association will be held at the, office of the forest supervisor next Tuesday, March 13. Def mite plans are to be considered for the development of Cole man Lake, and a number of other important matters are to be considered.
 The Executive Committee of the Association hopes to be able to reach Coleman Lake Sunday for the purpose of making a rough survey of the ground and arriving at an esti- mate of the probable cost of erecting the, proposed dam. The committee would be pleas ed to" have all. others who are interested in the development of the Lake and who have the courage to brave the roads, to make it a point to visit the lake along with the committee.
 There is some question as to whether the roads are yet pas sable, but it is safe to say that the committee will get to the Lake if the undertaking be physically possible.
 At the meeting Tuesday, the report of the Executive Com mittee will be heard, and defi- mite arrangements for securing teams and funds necessary for raising the dam, will be decid- ed upon. Further plans for the development of the lake will also be considered.
 Among other important mat ters to come before the Asso- ciation at this meeting will be g report .of the Committee on Town Clean Up, and consider .ation of the reception of the Ell Paso Chamber of Commerce on March 18th.
 It is important that a large attendance of members should be present at this meeting.
 Word has been received that. the Bureau of Fisheries will supply Black Bass for the lake and that the fish will arrive in Williams some time between August and December. The Bureau is unable to supply the lake perch which the Associa-, tion had hoped to get to put in the lake along with the bass.

 Ed will buck into farming this spring in very good spirits; He will put out potatoes, oats and beans. Last season he made a good showing and with. an- other years experience and greater resources, he will stand a very good show of marketing a lot.of stuff in the fall. Hav- ing had his visit in the old home, Ed returns to Arizona very well satisfied that it is a better state than Old Mizzoo.
