 At a regular meeting of the
 town council last Wednesday
 evening, at which all members
 were present, a movement was started which is sure to result in great. and lasting benefit to every resident of the municipall- ty.
 In taking the initial step to- wards municipally owned and operated water and sewerage system. the members of the council are entitled to the high est commendation of every citi- zen who desires an improvement in the living conditions of him. self and his neighbors. The News believes that the residents of the town will, with few ex- captions, heartily endorse the action taken by the councilmen.
 At the meeting Wednesday evening MT. L. G. Lautzenhiser. representing Olmsted 6 Gillelen, civil engineers, of Los Angeles, was present and presented to the council a proposal which the council accepted. This proposal was that the firm of Olmsted & Giilelen will make plans and specifications, and furnish an estimate of the cost of a water and sewerage system for the town. This work is to be done as soon as possible and for the purpose of guiding the council as to the amount of money neces- sary to construct such system.
 In the event no election for bonds is called by the council. or if an election is called and the people vote down the bonds, the Los Angeles engineers will re- ceive no compensation whatever. However. should an election be called and the people vote the bonds. Olmsted & Gillelen will then furnish all working plans, superintend work of construc- tion and will be entitled to col lect 8 per cent of the amount of l bonds voted.
 The proposal made by the Los Angeles people seems to us a liberal one, and the action taken by the councilmen in accepting it is evidence that it was so con- sidered by them.
 The firm making the proposi- tion is now engaged in recon structing the water and sewer age syetem in Flagstaff, and is putting in systems at Williams and Jerome.
 Various other items of business were disposed of by the coun- cil, chief of which was giving as- surance to MT. w. B. Woods, re- presenting the Navajo Apache Telephone system, that hls con- pany would be protected in lay ing underground cables for wires in the alleys and streets. MT. Woods stated that his company was arranging to remove most of the poles from the streets and place the wires underground. He desired assurance from the council that the alleys running north and south through the town would not be closed, and that permission would be grant ed the company by the council to make these changes. The coun- c1lmen assured MT. Woods that | they would gladly cooperate with his company in making the changes contemplated.

Cards are furnish ed free of charge by this bank and stamps amounting to any multiple of 25 cents, from 25 cents to $1OO, can be purchased and affixed to the cards.

and much good is being accom-

know his people, he is finding out

many faithful ones, but there seem
to be great many who are on the
sick list-sick spiritually if no, ply
sically. To merely get on the roll
docs not count for much; just as ell

are trying to make new recruits. but
we are even more anxious to revive
the sick ones, and get them to take

hope to make it the greatest day Of
