In Justice to the Crew.

The crew in charge of the mo-
tor which carries passengers over
the Frisco railroad is needlessly
incOnyenienced by being forced
to remain overnight in Tupelo.
This car used to leave Aberdeen
about 4 O'Clock a. M, making
two trips to Tupel0 and return.
ing the same day. This gave its
crew who have homes in Aber-
deem opportunity to be with their
families at night.
That plan was preferable to
the present one. as the way the
motor is scheduled now works
no benefit to the public and i'm.
poses needless inconvenience
and expense upon its crew. In
justice to the men in charge. Of
car, the old schedule ought to be
resumed.

AUTHORIZE CALL FOR BIDS ON INSTALLING
 VERDE RIVER INTAKE

Following it's decision a week ago to readvertise for bids for the construc ton of the uncontracted portions of the Verde River gravity waterworks sys- tenn. the city commission yesterday authorized City Manager ". A. Thomp- son to call for bids for the installation complete of an infiltration intake sys- tenn, and also to call for bids for eN cavating and back-filIing pipe ltne trench, etc, incidental to the installing of the pipe line for the new water works project.
 The commissions action was taken in response to the presentation of q mo- ticc to contractors Of the call for bids for the two pieces of work, together with specifications. The contract fer the installation of the pipe line of the new gravity water supply system has been let already.
 The personal bond of John W. Wag ner, recently appointed city auditor, was presented and approved by the commission.
 A communication from the superin tendent of the Arizona Eastern rail- road to City Manager Thompson was presented, asking that he petition the commission for permission to construct and operate spur track across Dun lap avenue. The commission accepted AIT. Thompson's recommendation that the railroad be advised that the com- mission would grant the requested per mission immediately upon receiving definite assurance from the railroad that it would pave it's right of way across South Central avenue.
 After passing an ordinance providing for the guarding of railroad crossings within the city. with penalty clause, the commission took the ordinance un- der consideration and. after discussing the advisability of requiring all cross ings between Seventh avenue and Sew cnth street to be guarded, decided 10 reconsider the motion on the ordinance, to be voted on at a meeting today.
 The matter of the vacating to public use of a portion of Buchanan street came before the commission again yes terday. in the form of an ordinance. After considerable discussion from all angles, the affair was laid over for one week.
 The paving of First street also took the attention of the meeting, H. E. Anderson stating that some of the property owners were anxious to know what had been done, and that he thought majority of the people on the street were in favor of 35-foot pay ing, and not in favor of making II a 64-feot street as suggested in a petf- ton filed by Dave Goldberg. AIr. Gold berg also addressed the meeting ask ing the commissions indulgence in de- laying the matter another week as he thought the property owners Wttn the exception of a very few, were in favor of a 64-foot street. The commission finally decided that the matter should be laid over one week and then defi- nitely settled
 City Engineer Hitchcock brought to the attention of the commission the matter of rehabilitating the paving on South Central avenue and West Wash ington street, suggesting that after re- pairing the holes 1n the paving on South Central that the paving be resurfaced with l F inches of Warrenite- -bitulithfc paving and that the holes in the paw ing on West Washington street be re- paired. Referring the resurfacing of
