The city council met last night in
regular session and after the reading
and approval of the minutes a Mr..
FELTON, talked to the body about a Nye
oderless crematory incinerator. No
positive action was taken but the
council is trying to figure out some
method of disposing of the city gar
bage and the result may be an incin-
Grating plant which we believe costs
in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
which would have to be decided by a
vote of the people on bonds for the
amount.
Mr.. Noblit presented a corrected
plat of the old Alderman Heights sub
division which was accepted and will
be placed on record. This straightens
out matter of controversy about
certain street lines and it is well to
have it settled.
Six sanitary ordinances were re-
turned approved and signed by the
mayor and after publication will be-
come laws.
The matter of the $4,000 Bridges
bond will be taken up with the city
attorney for disposal in some manner.
The current bills were ordered paid.
When a motion was made to adj
journ Mr.. Noblit interposed and said
he wanted to hand in his resignation.
He stated that his farm kept him SO
busy that he could not find the time
to attend to the duties demanded of a
councilman and that he felt he must
insist on his resignation being ac-
copied. He then presented his letter
which was read. Councilmen Dur
rance and West both asked Mr.. Mob
lit if he could not remain on the
council but he declared it was impos-
sible for him to do so.
Mr.. Cheyney then asked Mr.. Noblit
if he would not remain on the coun-
Gil, and stated that Mr.. Noblit had
done a great deal of good work for the
city, and had given a great deal of his
time to public work, and that if he
would not or could not remain on the
council would he agree to have his
resignation lay over until next meet
| ing when the council will take action.
Mr.. Cheyney also asked Mr.. Noblit if
he would not continue to lend his aid
and suggestions regarding public mat
tiers even after he had left the coun-
ell. Mr.. Noblit replied in substance
that he was always glad to help &C

Commissioner Beckett up for Re-elec-
ton Commissioners Met at Clearwater

The county commissioners met in
Clearwater yesterday in regular ses-
sion. State Highway Commissioner
Armes was with them and explained
that every dollar taken in automobile
tax is spent for building roads in the
state and every county receives from
the state as many dollars as, they
spend in road building. For instance,
Pinellas county will receive $4,000
from this fund provided it also spends
$4,000, which will make $12,000s Pr
nellas county will get all that is COM
ing to her, said Commissioner Beck
+ett, of Tarpon Springs, to The Lead
er today.
The five miles Of bad road just NORTH
of Aripeka is now in pretty good con.
dition, said Mr.. Armes, and the worl
now being done there will put it ii
permanent good condition. This piec,
|of road has caused more trouble thar

The contract for acoustics for the
county court house has been let. This
is patented continuance which makes
the voice of the speakers to be plainly
heard in all parts Of the room.
We had an awfully good story from
Commissioner Beckett but time pre-
vents us from writing it now. How

Commissioner Beckett said he would
run for reelection, and no doubt he
will be elected again.

April Is Will be 6 O'clock Closing
Day for All Patriotic Dry Goods,
Grocery and Other Merchants

The clerks held their second meet
ing last night in the Red Cross room
with good number in attendance.
There were several topics under dis
cussion, but the chief matter taken up
was the appointing Of committee
Of four to 60 to the Greek merchants
again and try to persuade them to
agree to close at a specified time,
along with the other stores. This COM
nittee is composed Of w. F. Chidester,
Clarence Hill, A. E. Loescher and
Ralph Gaslxill land they will interview
the Greek merchants tomorrow.
It was decided to set no definite
time for closing the stores on Satur-

closing be optional with each individ-.
ual merchant on that one night.
1t was voted unanimously that six
o'clock on the other five nights is late
enough to be open and the stores viii
close at that time, instead of seven
o'clock, as some suggested.
Cards similar to those being display
ed by the Tampa stores win be print

above plans will be given one Of these
cards to be put up in the window of

plan of the government thereby being
entitled to the patronage of the pub
lie.
1t is not believed that any mer-
chant will refuse to comply as soon
as he realizes that he will lose bus
mess bu such a refusal, for if there
be any merchant who wants to profit
by the patriotism of the other mer-
chants and keep his place open with
the hope that he will get little trade
which otherwise would have gone to
the more patriotic merchant, the pub
lie will know just how to treat the
case, for they will be given full data
regarding the efforts made to per-
suade the unpatriotic merchants to
comply with the new plan.
On April Is we will know who, if
any, of our merchants are unpatriotic,
for on that day the new plan of saw
ing daylight and early closing will go
into effect

THE REASON WHY

A Dunklin County merchant, who
had made a complaint to one of his
wholesale houses because shipment
of merchandise had not arrived in the
usual short period Of time after the
order had been placed, received the
following answer in rhyme:
keep your temper, gentle sir"
Writes the MANUFACTURERS.
Though your goods are overdue,
For a month or maybe two,
We can't help it, jlease don't sewari
Labor's scarce most everywhere,
Can't get sugar, coal or dyes,
These are facts; we tell no lies.
Harry's drafted, SO is Bill,
All our work is now uphill.
So your order, we're afraid,
May be still bit delayed.
Still you'll get it, don't be vexed,
Maybe this month, maybe next.
Keep on hoping, dent say die,
You will get it by and by.

INFLUENZA VICTIM

George Meyer succumbed to influ-
enza Saturday morning, after brief
illness. Deceased was AT years old,
strong and healthy appearing, but he
apparently was unable to offer any
greater resistance to the encroach-
ments of that disease than if he had
been a physical weakling.
George Meyer was popular with all,
was formerly a well-to-do farmer,
who for the past several years had
been engaged in different lines of bus
mess. He was a big-hearted, jovial
companion and a true friend. He was
working in the Lead Belt when he
contracted his last illness.
Deceased was married about eigh-
teen years ago to Miss Annie Ryan,
daughter of John Ryan, and the wife
and six children are left to mourn the
loss of devoted husband and kind,
indulgent father. Burial was in
Parkview Sunday morning. .
