NEW TOWN MARSHAL is

At a meeting of the Washington

S. Houck, local barber, was elected
as town marshall, succeeding j. j..
Tyson, resigned. He Immediately
qualified and is now serving in that
capacity.
Marshal Tyson rendered his reesig-

has since been without a marshal.
As the necessity for such an officer
was apparent, however, and the city
fathers were unable to get one with
out moer inducement than afforded
by the usual fees, subscription list
was circulated and the firms of the
town subscribed $500 monthly to
apply on marshall's salary. Another
instrument, in which the moral sup
port of the citizens was pledged a
marshall in the discharge of his
duties, was circulated. This was
signed by all to whom presented

PETITION TO
OPEN STREETS
WILL BE PRESENTED TO TOWN
COUNCIL
AT NEXT REGULAR MEETING
Petition Asks For Sweeping Order
Opening Up All Streets of Town
Now Fenced.

When a group of citizens assembled
at one of the public places of the
town a few nights ago and opened a
discussion was a petition to the
streets of Washington should be or
dered opened up by the city Dads"
they probably started something.
One of the immediate results of said
discussion was that a petition to the
town council, praying that they make
a sweeping order opening up all
streets and alleys of the town, as
shown by the town plat, to the pub
lie. All who were present at this
informal meeting, a number of whom
have parts of streets under fence,
affixed their names to the instrument
without hesitancy. The petition has
since been circulated over town and
nearly all property owners who have
had opportunity have signed it. The
petition will be read at the next meet
ing of the council, which will be held
the first Monday night, and it is be-
lieved that the order will be made
as most Of the members have declared
themselves in favor of opening any
street when petitioned to do so.
There are numbers Of streets here
that have been under fence for years
and if this petition is passed upon
favorably by the council it will mean
that all these will have to be opened
up, requiring a great deal of fencing.
On the other hand, however, the ben
Gifts Of having all streets opened up
are great, as many building sites will
then be available which are not de-
sirable in their present condition be-
cause of inaccessibility.
In a few instances fences now ex-
tend across several streets and no
doubt some of those hardest hit by
the proposed order will raise some
objection. The Telegraph believes,
however, after considering both the
advantages and disadvantages, that
this is one of the most important
movements ever launched here.
In the past number of petitions
have been presented to the council,
signed by some interested party, re-
qusting that certain streets adjoining
their property to be opened and in
variably the party ordered to open up
streets has contended that if one prop
erty owener was required to open up
all should do so. This led to the ac-
ton of the petitioners in asking that
all enclosed streets be opened.
