Mr.. Gowing was reemployed as as
sistant to Water Commissioner Tolbert.
After debate on the dog question
it was decided to give everyone notice
in person that dogs must be securely
muzzled, so that it is impossible for
them to bite, or they will be taken up
and shot. This will also afford good
opportunity,to take dog census to be
used in collecting the dog tax this
spring.
Fire Chief Daily recommended the
purchase ofsan auto truck to carry the
fire equipment in case of fires, also a
better system for sounding the alarm.
The matter was put in the hands OF
the fire committee with power to act.
The proposed truck would be able to
carry the two chemical engines, two or
three sections OF regular fire hose,
some smaller hose, fire axes, smoke
helmets and two or three ladders.
In this connection the proposition
came up Of selling the combination
ladder truck and hose reel purchased
several years ago, as it is too heavy
and cumbersom to be Of much use.
Council favored the proposition and an
effort will be made to dispose of it.
OF course the water problem re-
ceived its share OF attention and when
the plans that are under consideration
have been carried out Leavenworth
can feel assured OF an adequate supply
of water at all times. 1t is proposed
to bury all the exposed portions of the
present pipe line, improve conditions
at the intake and correct various de-
fects in the system. Steps will also
be taken to provide dependable
auxiliary system to be used in case Of
any trouble in the main line.
Mayor Hale suggested putting on a
day policeman but it was not consid-
cred necessary at present as the city
seems comparatively we'll behaved.

OF the curtailment OF paper imports
announced by the prime minister.
A supplemental list OF imports
banned. in addition 10 those an
nounced by the prime minister In
his speech was issued by the war
cabinet last night. For the most
rart the articles thereon we're
broadly covered in Lloyd-George'
classification Of "non-essentials."
Some surprise was occasioned how
ever. by inclusion OF hides, both wet
and dry, IN such a list. II was
noted. however. that special grant
was given the board OF trade to raise
the ban by special licenses on any
commodity II desired.
In the aftermath OF discussion on
the speech there was faint echo
OF surprise that the premier did not
refer by n single word 10 Engiand's
present military situation.
II was pointed out, however. that
such omission OF detailed discussion
was perhaps studied. The premier
apparently adopted the attitude that
there was no uncertainty about the
outcome. and so refrained from ref.
erence TO a topic about which he
felt there was no necessity for dis
cussion.
Editorial comment today agreed
that Lloyd Georges speech was prob
ably the most weighty OF the war
mo forecast OF the statement
made by the prime minister had pre-.
pared the public for the drastic
series OF restrictions they find Inn
posed today" said the Daily News.
