MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
Meeting Monday Night at City Hail.
Discuss Matter of New Smoke
stack at Power House. ~

The city council met on Monday
evening for the purpose Of coming tc
decision in regard to the smoke
stack at the light plant. The stack
which has been in use less than three
years has burned out and it will be
necessary to replace it in the near fu
ture. The cost of tearing down the
old one and installing new one will
be in the neighborhood of $1,000.
Members of the council discussed
the feasibility of erecting a perma
nent stack at the power plant, either
of brick or concrete construction.
The earth at the plant, however, is OF
such a nature that it would be neces'
sary to drive piling down sixty feet
for foundation for such a flue and
the expense of this would be prohib.

The sentiment seems to be in favor
of purchasing the property for it is
we'll known fact that the present
school system is not adequate. AL
ready many of the rooms are over
crowded and there are not enough in
structors to carry on the work as II
should be done. /
1t would only be question OF
time until it would be necessary to
erect additional buildings and very
few sites would be available without
O. great expenditure of money. BY
purchasing the college property the
city would have plenty Of ground
available at all times for additional
buildings as well as ample play
grounds for the children.
veg Means Much for Denison.
The installation of junior college,
together with an agricultural school,
will mean much for DenisOn. Stu
dents from all localities would be per-
mitted to enter by paying a small tut
ton fee, which of course would help
to pay the operating expenses.
Prof. C. E. Humphrey, superintend-
ent of the schools, is very much in
favor of taking over the property and
sees great possibilities for building
up an institution that not only the
people Of Denison may be proud of,
but the county as well.
