Presbyterian Pastor
Given Reception

The inclement weather did not inter-
fere with the reception given Wednes-
day evening to Rev Paul w. Gauss and
wlfe in ihe Presbyterian church. The
| congregation was out to the man, wom-
an child with their friends, and quite a
bunch of the United Presbyterians were
present. 1t was the largest gathering
of people Assem- bIed for an ocassion Of
Of this kind in the history of the church
The house was filled almost to its ca
pacity, and after once passing the re
ceiving line, there was no escape. After
the formal reception was through, Mrs
Ollie Park, who presided at the meet
ing, called the gathering to order, and
Mrs. G. w. Albertson played piano
solo; prayer by Mr.. 6 NJ. Kirkpatrick
and the welcoming talks folowed Fl.
C. Baldridge, as chairman of the COM
mittee entrusted with the arduous task
of selecting new pastor, forgot his pre-
pared talk, but, extended to the new
people the greetings OF the congrega-
ton Mrs. A. j Mitchell, one of the
two charter mem bers of the church now
living at Parma, followed with a pleas
ant greeting; Rey. ]. B. Storey, pastor
of the U. P. ci urch welcomed the ten

his enthusiastically good humored man
ner, causing great deal of mirth Rev

Citizens Municipal
Ticket Filed

A citizens municipal ticket was this
week filed in the office of the city clerk,
presenting to the voters Of Parma the
names Of five qualified electors which it
is hoped, will be elected at the election
to be held on the fourth Tuesday ID
April. The candidates are W. E. Wal
drop, R. B. Mtche |, F. J. Walmsley,
J. E. Kerrick and c. w Albertson, all
are incumbents of the position to which
it is desired to re elect them, with the
exception OF Mr.. Waldrop, and are all
representative, public spirited conserva7
tive busin So men, and thoroughly un-
derstand the needs of the city of Parma
and are deeply interested in its future
welfare and prosperity.
During the pres Mt tenure of office,
the board has made fine record, and
the citizens of Parma should feel proud
Of their city officers.
A brief summary of what has been
accomplished will give an idea of the
stains Of the city at this time
All the funds OF the city are now on
cash basis. these funds are the water
works, sewer No. / and 2, cemetery and
library funds, which is something never
before recorded in the life OF the incor-
poration. The general fund is an open
account.
In addition to the general improve
ment and up keep Of the streets and al
leys, an iron bridge has been built over
the slough between town and the river,
and paid for. A new well drilled and a
new pump installed with tested ca
pacity of 275 gallons of water per min
ute, thus assuring the city of an ade-
quate supply Of pure wholesome water
for domestic pursoses as well as for fire
protection The sewer system is in per-
feet condition, and there is not the least
sign of friction in the police depart
ment. Two thousand five hundred feet
of irrigation pipe has been put in,
which now practically places the entire
city nnder an efficient irrigation sys.
tenn.
With the placing of such a capable
set of candidates as are named above on
the Citizens ticket, The Herald does
not gee where the voters of Parma can
better themselves in the least by not
the above ticket. 1t is an
assured fact. that if these gentlemen
are entrusted with the care OF the citY's
welfare for the next term of office, the
affairs of the city will be handled on
the smallest tax basis possible, and
there will be no unnecessary expendi-
ture Of the taxpayers money.
