 With a notable lack of fuss and feathers, ttE new mayor and city council took office last evening, and plunged into the business of renam- ing city officials. The transfer o1 the chair from H. w. Heap to Morris Goldwater, and the accession ot Messrs. Ray Vyne and Arthur Davis to the seats of LeRoy Anderson and O F. Orthel followed the reading ot his message by the retiring mayor Within a few minutes, J. H. Robin son had been named city auditor, eX- officio clerk of the common council and recorder, and R. N Frederlcks, city treasurer, the motions being made and seconded by the incoming councilmen. One nay vote was re- corded to each appointment that ot A. L. Smith to the naming Of MT Robinson and tlat of William Byers to the naming of Mir. Fredericks.  The business session of the old council considered the monthly bills and reports, which were presented by the retiring clerk, F. C. Whisman- Following this routine, the new may or entered the hall and listened to the reading of Mr. Heaps message after which the shift was made and the new council got down to busin- ness. MT. Goldwater spoke briefly of his former terms as mayor, during which he had been accorded the hearty cooperation of the council He said he believed he would secure the same cooperation from the new council and that he would retire from this office with the same sense of satisfaction he had carried with him in the past, whe he had quit the service of the city.

 MT. Heaps Recommendations.
 Part of MT. Heaps message tool up the subject of the water situation and he made certain recommends tions which are here given in full:
 Although retiring from the offic of mayor, and much preferring | leave to my honorable successor tn task of devising ways and means fo carrying out needed city improve ments, I cannot refrain from pointin out to your honorable body the st rious water situation which confront the city

EX-ARMY NURSE NOW GUARDING
 SCHOLARS
(From Tuesdays Daily


 Due to the up-to-date work of the school board the Prescott public schools now nave a trained nurse, for the sole purpose of caring for the pupils, and preventing contagious diseases from spreading in the class rooms.
 Miss Craft, an army nurse, from Camp Bowie, Fort Worth, Texas. will handle the work, and is well qualified for the position as she has had considerable experience in the hospital corps at her former station
 Miss Craft spoke to the students of the P. H. s. and gave her views of the usefulness of a school nurse She brought out the fact thaA when the drafted men were examined one fourth were physically unfit for serv- ice. Nearly one-half of these men were unfit due to some cause that Tn their youth could have been reme died. One man for instance, was lame. He had contracted tubercu- losis in his hip when a boy in the grades. ~ Had proper attention been given him, he would have been fl for service. Another was deaf When a boy his ears had troubled him con stantly but his parents thought little of it, and the boy lost his hearing.
 The school nurse, will watch the children, andy point out things not always noticed by the parents.
 Miss Craft said that the ten main reasons for taking contagious dis eases. were the ten fingers. One physician mad certain punishments for the nurses who brought their hands in contact with their eyes noses or mouths. Tn that hospital [ not one nurse took the influenza in the last epidemic.
 { For All the Schools.

Ii ] Is the principle of taking them young" that is back of the whole scheme of the trained nurse foi i school children, and for this reason the most effective work will bt among the younger children. The new nurse made talks to the classe: in the graded schools, laying specia stress on the need of washing the hands before eating, keeping tn, hands away from the face and pro tecting others by using the handker chief, when coughing or sneezing. ! Miss Kraft was sent to Prescott b, inc Public Health department of tn, ! American Red Cross of Washington D. C.

Paving.

As Prescott is practically the only city in the west of its size and per capita wealth which hasn't foot of street paving, l would recommend that steps be taken toward paving the principal thproughfares, but not until the new water distributing sys- tem is laid, as it would be folly to put down paving only to have to tear it up in fixing breaks in the water mains, which are of constant occur renee, or in order to relay new mains.
 Municipal Band. During the past year the city has had the services of first-class mu- nicipal band which has materially aided in the success of various civic celebrations and entertainments, and the continuance of which is much tc be desired. The city secured the services of Prof. L. P Milleh, an eX- perienced band leader, at salary o I$lOO per month, who has worked hard and to such good purpose that the band is one of the best municipa bands in the state, and as 1t is intend ed to give semi-Neekly public con certs during the summer, recon mend that the services of Professo Miller be retained as this band is decided asset to the city.
 Conclusion.
 In conclusion, I wish to publicl, extend my sincere thanks to the va rious heads of city departments ant municipal employees who have ma terially aided me in giving to the af fairs of the city the best admins trative talents of which, within tn limitations of the office, I was ca 7 pable.
