COUNCIL FOR ADVERTISEMENT
 OF WATER C0'S. HOLDINGS

Water Development and Stock Company to be continued until the Town Clerk receives a re- port from the Corporation Commission giving their find ings and conclusions. This mo- tion was seconded by Council man Melick. A very brief dis cussion followed after which the Mayor put the question and every councilman voted for the motion.
 MT. Spencer announced that he was satisfied. He said if the matter could be settled by June 1st. it would be soon enough for him
 MT. Jones enlightened the council andsthe other auditors as to the functions of the Cor poration Commission in it's en- deavor to assist towns in the so- lution of their municipal prob lens. He stated that the Com mission does it's work absolute ly without expense to the towns. A competent engineer will be sent to Williams to in- spect the property of the Wat CT and Electric Co.,, and will ex- anime every part of it and de- termine it's physical value.
 After the water question had been disposed of the coun- cil considered the matter of a building which Mrs. Mccoy has under construction without having received a permit. The building is detached from the house and adds hazard to in surance risks. On motion of Councilman Reese the matter was laid over for future con- sideration, the Marshal in the mean time trying to learn if the building may be connected with the house and thereby comply with the requirements of insurance companies. The council then adjourned.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
 POSSIBLY COMING SOON

There probably has not been great deal of municipal own .ership sentiment in Williams, but since the. visit of F. A. Jones, chairman of the State Corporation Commission, there is probably more. At an in formal meeting of members of the Town Council and other citizens with MT. Jones Mon day afternoon, he gave some facts in regard to municipal ownership of water and light plants in other Arizona towns and cities which would tend to make one feel more friendly towards it. Other towns in Ari- zona have found municipal ownership of public utilities quite advantageous. Some have made them profitable. None have shown a desire to return to private ownership. Some have paid two prices for pri- vate plants and have then made good on the: investment.
 Should Williams buy the Will Hams Water and Electric Co.'S. holdings for about $10O,OOO it will not be stung very badly, if at all. The town should be able to pay that price and make the two plants pay out and do it handily.i The Corporation Commis- sion's engineer will have the appraisement of the local com pany's property ready in a few weeks and it will be we'll to be thinking, meantime, what we should do with it.

ARIZONA ENGINEERS TO
 ORGANIZE

Most Arizona engineers, be- cause of the distance from cen ters of population, have found it difficult or impossible to en- joy the revivfying and stimulat- ing effects of attendance at meetings of national engineer ing societies. This fact, to- gether with a desire to study the peculiar problems and ad- vance the interests of engineers of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, has led to the formation of the Southwestern Society of Engineers which will hold its first convention in Fl Paso, Texas, March 8, 9, and 10. An interesting technical program has been arranged, and the so- cial features of this gathering promise to be very enjoyable.
 The proceedings of the So- ciety will be published, and other advantages than those mentioned will accrue to mem- bers. The dues have been made comparatively low, and appli- cations. for charter member ship will be received up to the time IofGthe convention. It is hoped and believed that Ari- zona engineers will take a prominent part in this organ ization, and will support the movement both by becoming members and attending the conventions.
 Application for membership blanks and further information can be obtained from Dean G. M. Butler, University of Ari- zona, Tucson, Arizona.

PROUD OF SCHOOL WORK

w. M. Hughes, Chairman of the Board of School Trustees, expressed the satisfaction that the Board feels with the work being done by the staff of teachers when he exclaimed re- gently in a conversation on the subject of school work, "I chal- lenge any school in the state to show a better record of school work"
 Then he added, "I challenge any school in the state to show a higher per centage of grad uates from the number of pu- pills entering school thru the primary grades. And I chal- lenge any other school to show any better work being done in any of the grades.
 Again returning to the sub- ject a little later MT. Hughes enthusiasm again burst forth, "I tell you," he exclaimed, "I don't believe there is another school in the state that has a grade that can sing like our 9th grade can, and the work of the primary room is simply a marvel. In the primary room they take children who don't know their A B C's and send them home in three months reading freely"
 The Board is by no means alone in it's enthusiasm over the school. The patrons of the school are proud of the work the school is doing.

Holbrook Seeks Incorporation

'Holbrook, County seat of Navajo county has an ambition to become an incorporated town. Petitions are being cir culated asking for an election on the incorporation proposi- tion. Many of her people think incorporation will be worth many times it's cost. In it's present condition the commun- ity can not have adequate po- lice or fire protection. At the conclusion of an argument for incorporation the Holbrook News says:
 ''Holbrook is becoming rap idly a city of homes. It is al- ready a good place to live and under incorporation it will be a better place. With lighted and paved streets, water and sewer systems, and adequate fire and police protection it will be a much better place in which to live. And these ad- vantages, and more, may be secured by incorporating the town" ' 2i] DE-. .-.-' ySG

WILLIAMS HIGH LOST ' BUT PLAYED WELL

The Williams High School basket ball team went down to defeat in their return game with Prescott High School team played at Prescott last Thursday night. The Williams boys experienced the same handicap that marred the play ing of the Prescott boys two weeks earlier. They played un- der new conditions. While the Williams gym has a low ceiling the Prescott hall has a high ceiling and the Williams boys were unable to gauge their throws so as to make goals. On the other hand the Prescott boys were at home in a hall where their practice had been carried on and they put the ball into their own basket with ease.
 The Williams team kept things moving and tho the score of '36 to 12 looks one sided, the Prescott team knew they had been in a game when the end came. IA fouls were called on the Williams team II ion the Prescott. Montgomery made 6 points off the Prescott fouls.
 Montgomery did the same stunt of starring as in the pre- vious game only more so, pro- portionately. He made 10 of ithe Wms., 12 points and Klock made 2. Sweeney made 10 points for Prescott and Mo Grew g.
 The Williams boys are en- tirely satisfied with the game, if they were loser. They were well treated; the referee was fair and the game was clean turnout. They believe that when the rubber is played in Williams they will have their revenge.

FUNDS PROVIDED

The people of Williams will be pleased to learn, that the funds necessary to make the proposed addition to the school building have already been provided for and that no extra tax will be necessary in thus enlarging the building. w.

WORK ON NEW GARAGE
 PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

Work on the new garage and machine shop is progressing rapidly under directions of Messrs Button and Poison and it is the expectation that it will be open for business some time between March 20 and April 1. The South wall has been completed and the inter- for walls are nearly torn away. The work of clearing the floor space is going on. Of course much remains to be done but the large force at work will push the work rapidly and with favorable weather conditions, the next two weeks will see all done but placing the machin- cry. a1
 The new garage and machine shop will occupy a space 75 feet square. The office supply and storage room will be in the north east corner of the build ing and the shop will occupy the north west corner. Two large drive-ways will enter the building, one from the north and the other from the east. The greater part of the floor space, from the south side north, will be devoted to auto mobiles.
 Well equipped as this garage and machine shop will be it will be prepared to meet every de- mand of the automobile user.

Asks Corporation Commission
 To Survey, Inspect and De- termine Physical Value of w. w. & E. Co.'S. Holdings

At an adjourned meeting of the Town Council Monday night action was taken which is probably a long step in the definite and permanent solu- ton of the Williams water question and possibly a step towards municipal ownership of two important public utii- ties, water and light.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Watson. Coun- cilmen Kirkpatrick, Reese and Melick, City Clerk Lees Town Attorney Gold and Town Mar shal Burns were present. Be- sides the town officials MT. Far son, principal owner of the Williams Water and Electric Company, MT. Spencer repre- senting the Coconino Water Development and Stock Com pany, MT. F. A. Jones, Chair man of the Arizona Corpora ton Commission, and a number of citizens were in attendance on the meeting.
 MT. Spencer was first given an opportunity to address the council and present any matter which he wished the council to consider. He declined to say more than that his petit ton now before the council contained all that he wished presented.
 MT. Farson was then given an opportunity to talk and he spoke for few minutes on the proposition which he had made the council to sell his com pany's holdings to Williams for $125, ,000. Not being a utili- ties man, MT. Farson said, he would prefer selling the pro- perty and believed the town would do we'll to buy. He would accept the towns bonds at par in payment. He was entirely willing that the property should be appraised and a little later said that the Corporation Commission might appraise the property of his company and if the appraisal was not less than $1OO,OOO he would accept it and turn the property over to the town at their price.
 Later MT. Spencer spoke for a moment and insisted that he had no thot of antagonizing the present owners of the public utilities, but just wanted to do what was fair and right.
 Preliminaries having been gotten out of the way, the coun- cil got down to business. The first step was taken by Coun- cilman Kirkpatrick who moved the adoption of the following motion, to-wit: That the Clerk be authorized to prepare an application to the Corporation Commission requesting that body to make a survey and in- spection that will determine the physical valuation of the Williams Water and Electric Company's holdings in Will Hams. The motion for adop- ton was seconded by Council man Reese. After a brief dis cussion the motion was put by the Mayor and every council man voted for it.
 The next step was also taken by Councilman Kirkpatrick who moved the adoption of the following motion to-wit: That the petition of the Coconino

two Or thres hours, butt the VIRGIN win

two or three hours, but the virgil will
be worth while. /,
The axis of the earth, around
which it rotates, if extended beyond
the North Pole, would reach up to a
point very close to the North Star.
Therefore, as the earth revolyes, the
North Star seems to stand still, while
the other stars seem to reyolve
around it. Thus, sitting in your chair,
watching the northern sky, you will
see the stars above the North Star
move westward. those below move
eastward, those to the left down
ward, and those to the right upward.
Even in one hour Of watching you
will see quite a change in the posi-
tions of the stars, but three hours is
better, and will give you vivid
realization that the earth where you
sit is whirling eastward, and as the
rim of your horizon obscures the
view below it you can see stars COM
ing up into view in the northeast as
you whirl, and stars sinking behind
the northwestern horizon, and all
the stars seemingly in motion. around
the North Star.
10 make the Time pass more quich-
ly it would be well to have company
and conversation. Then you can let
your imagination rove almost half
way around the earth to where mil
lions of men are crouched in trenches
or living out upon the earth behind
the battle fronts with those same
stars looking down upon them each
night. The stars you see come up
above the rim of the east have just
a few hours before been right above
the battle lines and have lighted its
horrors. But, in the ages past, they
have lighted a thousand wars, Just
as they have this one.
And if you want to converse. OF
the past you may recall that when
the Pyramids of Egypt were built
this star was not the North Star. but
then Alpha Draconis was the North
Star. And, projecting your mind in,
to the future some twelve thousand
years, you can imagine the time
when this North Star of ours will
have moved out and the star Vega, a
vast sun many times. larger than
this, will be the North Star for many
generations of men, although, as
Professor Serviss, says, Vega \will
never be as directly due north as our
own North Star.-Kansas City Star
