City Council.

The city council reused itself
to activity last week and marked
out enough work to keep it busy
for several months. A special
committee was appointed to in
vestigate the cost of installing
gas lights on the street, proba-
bly, with the idea that if the cost
is less than the present electric
lights, gas will be substituted for
electricity.
For several months, in fact
during the reign of the old board,
the question of extending the
sewer system in the north part
of town has been a live question
but barren of results. The
council settled the matter by
awarding the contract to R. Wig
gin, and instructed him to get
busy at once, and at this writing
the work is being rushed to COM
pletion.
Another vexed question that
will be definitely settled is the
running at large of stock on the
streets of the city. The marshal
was instructed some time ago to
impound all stock running at
large, and a few days later eigh-
teen head of cattle belonging to
John Lazear were taken up.
The next morning Mr.. Lazear
went to the corral and turned
his cattle out, and he was i'm
mediately arrested for violating
the city ordinance. The case has
been set for trial and the city
expects to test out the validity
of the ordinance to the end. If
there are any flaws in it they
want to know it, as they intend
to stop the practice of having
stock ranging the streets.
The fire company is being sup
piled with a lot of new equip
ment, and again the matter of
buying a fire auto truck was
taken up for consideration, but
no definite decision was reached.
The street commissioner has
been instructed to gravel Second
street between Kinsley and
Williamson.
City Clerk Grocer also wants
the people to understand that
the time is now ripe for every
body to turn in his assessment of
property for the year 1917, and
the sooner it is done the more
acceptable it will be to him, as it
gives him more time to prepare
his tax roll.
DR.. Sampson was appointed to
the position of police judge.

Why not patronize the Win
slow Laundry? We have the most
up-to-date plant in the state, and
it is a credit to any city. We
are doing high grade work. We

paid to them is spent right here
in town. All we ask is a trial

yard, and if he secures the con-
tract will burn the brick here.
Bob Walton, an active men,
Der of the dynamiter's club, goes
to Phoenix this week on busi-
ness. Any suspicion that Bob
expects to land a job under the
new administration should be
banished, as he is not a politician.
Bob is a co-worker with the edi-
tor in the vineyard for peace,
harmony and justice, but strong
on the justice.
