After their usual winter visit to
California Mr.. and Mrs. Creighton are
home again in Moscow. In talking
with Mr.. Creighton today he said that
they had visited the south coast every
year for some twelve or fifteen years
and every yea was impressed more
and more with the value of good roads

question for most of their time is

IS OPPOSED TO THE
CITY MANAGER PLAN
c. L.. WILLIAMSON GIVES HIS REA.
SONS FOR NOT FAVORING
THE CHANGE

To the Editor of The Daily Star
Mirror: In the last issue of your pa
per appeared an article from the pen
Of l.. F. Parsons relative to the man
ager plan of city government, written
evidently for the enlightenment of
those who do not understand 1t
would appear. that all that is neces-
sary. is to get the common people to
understand, then controversy will
cease and the plan will be adopted at
once, at least that would be the logical
deduction from his statement that
when sit was suggested that Moscow
adopt the city manager plan of gov
eminent, it met with the hearty ap-
proval of THOSE THAT UNDER
STOOD WHAT 1T MEANT Now, aft
er reading Mr.. Parsons explanations
and illustrations, | am still opposed
to the city manager plan for Moscow.
Perhaps am a kicker or a victim of
"Imaginitis." There are so many OBJ
servations by Mr.. Parsons in regard
to the present system of city govern
ment that are so obviously incon-
sistent, especially as the difficulty in
finding men who will accept the nom
ination for city offices, that | will not
dwell upon them. but will ~confine my
remarks solely to his presentation of
the supposed financial benefits to be
derived by the city from the manager.
He states that Prof. Lewis of the de-
partment of economics Of the universe
ty, showed that there has been an
financial saving of Is per cent
the towns that have utilized the
plan, therefore "Is it not reasonable
Moscow could save 5 per cent?"
and to prove the proposition says that
the average expenditure per annum
for the last three years has been $685.
900 and the assumption is that 5 per
cent on that amount, which would be
$4,000, would be the annual saving.
Well! it looks good. but is it really as
good as it looks? I learned from the
records in the city ~treasurer's office
that $685. 600 is about the sum that has
expended annually for the last
years and | also discovered that
or the year ending May /, 1914, which
was approximately the same as the
.wo years previous, that the city paid

Sunday school exercises were not hele
until evening.
Christians Meet Thrice.
There were three services at the
christian church Sunday in addition
to the fine program offered bv the
Sunday school. This was an especi.
ally interesting feature and the
children did some fine work. A
special Easter offering for the or
phans and aged of the Christian
church met with a liberal
and a neat sum was raised.
There was a good attendance at the
morning services where a special
Easter program was rendered. and
the Rev; j.. Quincy Biggs, pastor,
preached a strong rmo at the
close of which he offered his resig-
nation to take effect, according to
the terms of his contract with the
church, at the end of so DAYS. In
the afternoon Mrs. J. P. Duthie. of
Pullman, delivered an able address to
the women of the church. The even
ing service was we'll attended and es-
pecially impressive.
Christian Scientists to Colfax.
About 40 members and friends of
the local Christian Science church
went to Colfax in the afternoon to
attend a lecture on Christian Science
delivered in the church of that de-
nomination by a member of the board
of lectureship of the Mother Church
of Boston. The O. W.-R. & N. train
was held at Colfax for the lecture
which began at $3.50 and closed at
4:45. In addition to % who went by
train from Moscow, nearly a score
went by automobile. A large num-
Der of Pullman people also went on
the train. The Christian Science
church held the regular services Sun
day with special reference to Easter.
At the Baptist Church.
The Easter services at the Baptist
church consisted of Easter exercises,
by the Sunday school during the Sun
day school period, which consisted of
songs, recitations and class exer-
cises. The church was prettily dec
grated with flowers. Rev. Dean Ham
ilton gave a splendid Easter sermon,

the Tomb the subject being,

decorations were beautifully symbolic

delivered and there were special
musical programs.
1t was Knight Templars" day at
the Presbyterian church, where Rev.
Wayne S. Snoddy, the pastor, preach

20 of them in a body, and they added
color to the scene. This is an annual
event, the Knights visiting the vari-
Gus churches on Easter Sunday, and
this year it fell to the lot of the
Presbyterians to be honored with
their presence. There was a large

passed through Gethsemane we real
ize we are passing into a new era
typical of the Resurrection. Christ
came back to teach US the meaning

w. F. Morgareidge gave a short
address in the interests of the Victory
loan. At the evening session the
c440Ir gave II Will Extol Thee" and
30 Death Where is Thy Sting" which
we've greatly appreciated. Rev. Perry
in his evening address on the civic
problem said we must choose good
men, and efficient men and both
tickets give opportunities for excel
lent selection.
At ST. Mark Church.
At the Easter services of the St.
Marks church an unusual number of
people attended and the number of
communicates was very large. The
music was especially good, Mrs. As
pray now having undertaken the di-
rection of the choir. In the fine Sc
lection Of "Christ Our Passover" Mrs.
Aspray and Miss Violet Meacham
gave beautiful solos.
Rev. w. H. Bridge in a very brief
address, said that the idea of the
Easter season was more abundant
life. The Christian message of the
resurrection is given in the renewed
assurance of the ultimate victory of
life over death, love over hate and
truth over falsehood.
In reviewing the worlds sorrows
and Affections today, nothing should
give greater assurance to men than
to know hat out of the turmoil, the
kingdom of life and love and truth
should in the end be established.
The annual meeting of the church
will occur on Wednesday, of all
friends and members of the church.
The Guild will meet at 3 O'Clock and
a parish dinner will be given at six
o'clock.

scenic beauty is probably unequaIled

has had lots of expensive experience
in road building and have now adopted
a six-inch concrete base with expan-
sion joints as the best for that climate.
Now just to show you how they feel
about this vitality important question,
let me say that when the proposition
came up in 1910 to spend SIS, 0OO, 900
on highways it was passed by a bare
majority of the voters, just as the first
pavement in Moscow was. In 1916
when the taxpayers were asked to vote
$15,O0O,0 900 more it was passed by a
majority of 4 to | and when | left
there the proposition was up to vote
$4,000, 900 and there's no question but
what it will pass with still a bigger
majority.
I wish could AXE every taxpayer
of Latah county down there and run
them over a few hundred miles of the
highways. They would meet big
trucks with one, two or maybe three
traitors behind. You'd see horses and
COWS and hogs and sheep being car
ried to town at Is to 25 miles an
hour. You'd see land that rents for
500 to $3.50 an acre, that never was
and never will be as good as ours,
good roads and intensive culture alone
makes this possible, and | don't know
of any place where good roads will
prove more profitable than in the
country.
Yes, of course we had a good time.
We always do, and not the least of this
good time is getting back again
amongst the good old tried and true
of Moscow.

nead of the Street Committee also re-
 ported the intention of his committee
 to present an estimate of the cost of
 city lighting during the dark period
 at the succeeding meeting. Mir Tarnut-
 ger also provoked somewhat childish
 display of choler on the part of sev-
 eral councilmen by stating that the street committee had little or nothing to do until such time as the street contract controversy was settled. The remark precipitated Il verbal tempest in which 1t was declared with cohsid- erable vehemence-that the street con- tract Is not in existence and by reason of its abrogation the duty of maintain ing thes treets in proper condition rests entirely on the street committee.
 Some of the remarks regarding the street contract were of decidedly heated type. One or two of the coun- cilmen appeared to forget the dictates of decorum to the degree that some of their remarks regarding the street and Councilman AIilot. who is in his employ. were of an distinctly
 and abusive character. Mayor Holt's efforts to stop the at- tacks failed to prevent some nasty terms being used before the unseemly harangues came to an end.
