NEW AND OLD COUNCIL
On NEXT TUESDAY EVENING THE NEW COMMITS
sion Council will be into office and they will
begin their service to the taxpayers under more favorable
conditions than the present body. Coming just at this
time Of days Of reconstruction they will possibly find it
necessary to work out plans. During the four
years service of the present council they have given to the
city some great improvements and their work would have
shown greater progress had they the money with which
to carry out their ideas Besides giving us municipal
water and sewer service, modern fire stations new city
hail. concrete walks they have improved the city in scores
gOf ways We believe that one OF the most important
things for the new Commission Council will be to de-
eide upon some feasible plan whereby BOgausa can have
central school, building which will be in keeping with
the progress the city has made since its foundation An
other important work for the Commission Council
will be to give Bogausa good streets The taxpayers
never kick on good schools good streets and sidewalks
and we get the best in the state the taxpayers will
be willing to pay the costs of upkeep.
The retiring council have reasons to feel proud Of
their services and the Commission Council should
know that they have the best wishes of every citizen

On to make his impress upon the country and its banking
Interests and even If there had been war; his part IN
% onfection BE the legislation creating the Federal Re
serve System and in putting its machinery into effecve
operation would have stamped him as one OF the ables

no figure has stood out more commandngly IN the work
az mobiizing American power against the Prlsslan
threat to civilization than hatof the secretary OF the treas
