CITY WILL HAVE
MUNICIPAL TREE
Committee Plans to Have Gel
ebration on Larger Scale
Than Before.

At a meeting of the committee in
charge of the municipal Christmas
tree preparations, held Wednesday
afternoon at the home Of Mrs. J. w.
Keller, inceptive plans were discuss
ed for this years tree. The com
mittee. with Mrs. LOrene Kenyon
as chairmaG. is composed of Mrs.
w. w. Dodge, Mrs. g. w. Burton,
Mrs Ralph Smith and Mrs. A. 5.
Whey.
While no definite arrangements
have been made, the women are
anxious to have the tree on even a
larger scale than last year. The
war has added an especial appeal
for a municipal celebration, and
there will be many children in the
city who will perhaps be sadly neg
!ected because of the increased cost
of living.
1t is hoped by the committee that
citizens will fall in with the Christ
mas spirit and lend their support to
the project Candles are to be burn
ed in the windows of the homes
again this year during the services.
Ills II q par uculdIly oedulllul phase
of the celebration and everyone
should assist in this respect at least
in making the entertainment sue
Cessful.
There will be singing as usual
and other exercises besides music
by the band. Because of the church
services in the city on Christmas
eve il has been decided 10 hold the
municipal entertainment at 6:45
o'clock instead of Z, as heretofore,
enabling everyone to attend with

BOND CASE To
Be DECIDED
TOMORROW
CELEBRATED CASE THAT HAS
ATTRAcKED THE ATTENTION
OF CITIZENS WILL BE DISPOSED
OF IN THE MORNING.

The question Of the bond issue that
has attracked so much attention and
which has been thrashed out in the
district court for the past two days
is still in allegiance. Judge Freeman
has the matter under advisement but
so far has not rendered his decision
in the matter There is considerable
speculation as to what this decision
will be, but by no intmation has the
Judge given information as to what
he will render in the case. This case
has attracked considerable attention
from the fact that several prominent
citizens are attempting to enjoin the
Board of County Commissioners from
disposing Of the bonds at the price
contracted for The board of county
commissioners believe that their trade
made with the Piersol company is
binding and that they should be com.
PEELED to fulfill their part of the con.
tract On the other hand. plaintiffs
in the case think that the bonds
should have brought more money and
on this ground instituted the suit.
Judge Freeman viii probably render
his opinion on the matter Monday.
