THANKS TO SUPT. SHERIDAN

The people of Stanford are under
lasting obligations to Supt. w. F.
Sheridan, of the i. & NJ, for secur-
ing for them several carloads of
coal when it looked as if there was
no earthly show to get any. Supt.
Sheridan, who lived here many years
when he was chief train DISPATCHER
of this division, has warm place in
his big heart for Stanford people and
he was determined that they should
not suffer from cold when it was in
his power to help them. We do not
know how he did it. but he got sew
eral cars of coal for the Stanford
Water, Light & Ice Co.. when that
concern was ready to shut up shop
because of the lack of fuel. Mr.. Sher--
idan's good turn for Stanford and
her people will not be forgotten, but
it will make the clever gentleman
even more popular here than he now
is.

TAX RATE RAISED TO rs CENTS

At a meeting of the city council
last night, which by the way. was
the last for the present councilmen.
the tax rate for 1918 was fixed at
75c, which is 10c more than it had
been for the last two or three years.
1t was necessary to do this in order
to meet the increased amount charg-
cd by the Stanford Water, Light q
Ice Co., which has raised its rates
on water and lights furnished the
"ity IS per cent, or from $4,000 to
s4,899. The reason for the raise is
the increased expense of running the
business of the company. A few bills
were ordered paid and some routine
work was attended to, after which
the members of the board bade each
other farewell, as far as further
work together is concerned.
