Officials Will Keep City
Clean and Water Pure

In order to keep the public in
formed as to the provision of the
ordinance just passed, providing
for the protection of the city's
water supply, 1000 copies of the
ordinance have been printed. The
copies will he places in an iren
box at the head gates.
Iron signs 3x4 feet, on two. gas
pipe standards set in concrete, will
be placed at head gates, explain
ing to all as to five mile area that
is mentioned in the document.
There has been some objection
to that provision in the act which
refers to mining and tunneling in
violation of this ordinance. How
ever, one must consider that all
violate some provisions of certain
ordinances almost daily, the one
governing traffic for an example,
and our public spirited officials do
not resort to petit persecution, and
they never will. Laws are enacted
to protect life, health and property.
So long as the conduct of individ-
uals or companies does not get
heavy" no prosecutions will be
made. The city simply placed it.
self in a position to protect the
supply of water by arresting overly
careless and malicious persons.
Officials have instructed the city
marshal to notify persons who
drive COWS to Grass valley that the
owner must see TO it that no stock
be run loose within the corporate
limits. Some drive COWS to the
valley and allow them to drift back
to town, there to run over lawns,
destroy shrubbery, and deposit
droppings on the sidewalks.
The administration desires to en-
courage the dairy industry. It also
wishes to maintain the reputation
of being the cleanest and most
beautiful city in Colorado.

FIRST NATIONAL
PAYS A DIVIDEND
Only National Bank in Clear
Greek County in Four Months
After Reorganization Declares
a 10 Per Gent Dividend.

The seventy-three stockholders
of the First National Bank of
Idaho Springs were happily sur
prised to receive dividend checks
in their mail on the morning of
July first as the first semi-annual
dividend under the new manage
ment.
Although it has been but four
month since the reorganization of
The First National Bank, when
seventy-t three citizens of the coun-
ty became stockholders in the only
national bank in Clear Greek coun-
ty, business has increased to such
an extent that at special meeting
of the board of directors on We'd
nesday evening, it was voted to
declare a semi annual dividend of
10 per cent per annum, an equal
amount of earnings being left in
the undivided profit account.
Due to the efficient and econom-
ical management and the persistent
cooperation of stockholders and
friends, the deposits of this local
institution have materially in
creased.
Few cities of this size are SO
fortunate as to have a financial or
ganization such as surrounds the
First National Bank. Besides the
handling of a general banking busi-
ness, the organization embraces
the Idaho Springs Investment CO.,
which deals in investments, bonds
mortgages, stocks and leases. The
First Agency Co. is owend by the
stockholders of the bank, and this
branch of the institution deals in
insurance and real estate.
Since the reorganization last
February the home of the bank has
been enlarged to meet this growth,
and now renders the same efficient
service as any large city bank.
1t pleasure for the Siftings-
News to congratulate the officials
Of the First National Bank for the
remarkable showing they have
made in SO short a time, which
speaks of their popularity, ability
and standing in the community.

Well Done, Good and
Faithful City Officials

We find, upon examination of
the city records for the year 1918,
that coterie OF business men met
and nominated a ticket made up of
loyal citizens to take charge of city
affairs, and proceeded to elect these
men: Geo. E. McClelland, mayor;
Aldermen 1st ward, E. NJ. Moscript
and VIM. Galligan; second ward,
Richard White and John Lynn;
3rd, ward, Edward Erickson and
H. E. Machol; 18th ward, w. j.
Woodward and John Lofvenborg;
fifth ward, o. I'll. Shaffer and Chas.
II. Fuller. These men were elected
upon platform that has been
carried out.
L. "a clean city; as nearly as
practicable, a spotless town" We
have a town that is free from rub
bish and is almost without un-
slightly spots.
2. Good streets
3. Economical management of
municipal affairs.
4. Efficient service from all city
employees.
|. 5. No salaries to be drawn by
the mayor or aldermen.
6. A cordial welcome and po-
lite attention to all visitors to our
city.
They stood for the publicity of
city financial affairs, and that the
city records and.every public office
he accessible to citizens at all
| times. {
Business men serving without
paw, and with enthusiasm Stand
ing four square on questions which
deeply concern the community, be-
lieving in efficiency, and were OF a
calibre that a city like ours needs.
/ The writer on visiting the city
council last week, became acquaint-
ed with Mayor E. NJ. Moseript,
who has devoted under this pledge
eight years Of his time to public
service. We then met John Lynn
who is rounding up his eighth
year, and has never missed coun-
Gil meeting except for a short
period when out of the city.
In 1919 the aldermen adopted u
set of resolutions pledging them
selves to support the principles of
1918, and in order to prevent local
strife, and to foster spirit of co.
operation in the community aud
save to the taxpayers over six hum
dred dollars election expenses, re-
signed their offices, but no election
was held and our present aldermen
under the law held over.
Notwithstanding the ordinance
says the salary of the mayor shall
be 500 per year and the aldermen
50 per month, they have been .rde'
to their word. They are what you
call public spirited, and impress
us as the kind who build towns. In
salaries they have saved Idaho
Springs over $1,000.
During these tunes of recon-
struction we will need a mayor
and board of alderman like ours
and they are serving without pay.
