DRAFT QUOTA TO Be FILLED
LOCAL BOARD ORDERED TO EN-
TRAIN 83 MEN FEB. 23-28-OAI.L
20 FOR EXAMINATION

Notices have been sent out by the
local draft board to twenty nine men.
to report at the court house next Mon.
day morning at 10 O'Clock for exami-
nation. The balance of the first ma
tional army draft will be ordered 60
camp during the week Of February q
to %, and orders from Provost Mar
shall General Crowder to the local
draft board are to the effect that this
county must furnish SO men. The
county's quota, it; will be remembered,
was III.
There has been considerable wonder
ing among local people as to whether
the county gets any further credit for
men who have enlisted since the last
contingent of men were sent down, but
this seems unlikely as the orders from
headquarters are to entrain SO men
and the local draft board officials
know nothing about it. It is estimated
that twenty-five or thirty-fve men from
this county have enlisted voluntarily
since the last contingent was sent.
Following are the names of those
who have been notified to report for
examination Monday, others to be
called each day until sufficient men
have been secured:

gestion of Mayor Bergheim, instructed
to write to Professor Bass of the ex-
tension division of the state university
relative to getting him to come here
for the purpose of making study of
the city water supply problem. The
contract with the Water Power COM
pany expires next year and the city
wants to get full information concern
ing necessary improvements in the sys-
tenn, etc., before another contract is
made.
The matter Of getting some amend
ments to the charter submitted to the
voters this spring, was discussed, but
Mayor Bergheim pointed out that it
would be unwise to take this matter up
at this time owing to the fact many
changes may be brought about by this
war, and Furthermore because the
members Of the charter commission
arc at this time so busy with other
work that it is not likely that they
could give the matter the proper at.
tention.
T. G. Gordon Of the Water Power
company asked the council for per.
mission to purchase d quantity of rock
from the pile on the West side, where
the old crnsher was located. The
street commissioner was authorized to
sell the rock at cost.
