MAYOR HOLDS UP
RESOLUTION TO

Says Appraisal Price Will Be.
come a Law In go Days If
No Other Action Is
Taken.

Debate on the gas appraisal ques-
ton was not held in the city council
chamber yesterday, because Mayor
Smith decided to defer offering his
resolution providing that the city
shall elect to take over the gas
plant at the appraised valuation if
the gas company will file stipula
ton to waive appeal rights.
II have been reading tip the law
and find that silence in this case
is consent. meaning that if the city
council takes no action within 90
days from the date of the appraisal,
then the city buys the plant" the
mayor said.
Votes Some Opposition.
~ understand through the news
papers that some of the city COM
missioners are opposed to my plan"
he added. All right; if they have
any better plan, let them bring it
into the council"
Instead of forcing the issue
through his resolution, the mayor
has changed his tactics by inviting
his councilmanic opponents to start

pany will consider anything less
than the appraised valuation" said
Commissioner Butler. I'VE have 90
days in which to act. would favor
bringing the gas company officials
into the council chamber and talking
the matter over"
Mr.. Ure believes that the gas plant

of a meeting of the sugar beet

Beet growers of Prowers county

last evening for the purpose of
considering the 1920 beet contract
and for the purpose of electing a
delegate to the National Beet
Growers Association which will
meet in Denver next week.
"The general consensus of opin-
ion was that the price of $l2 which
it is understood will be offered, is
not fair compensation when the
present high cost of production is
considered
The growers seem to be inclined
to hold out for price of at least
$3.50 and several declared that
they would not plant this year
without assurance of at least $500.
was brought out at the meet
ing that sugar produced in Utah,
Idaho and Nevada, is being sold
through government regulations
at $500 above prices prevailing in
Colorado. for the reason that the
cost OF production and manufac-
turing is growing. If this be true
1t would seem that the same con-
dftfon should prevail in Colorado.

ty program C. A. Judd, safety
agent for this division of the Santa

Among the many things noted
by Mr.. Judd were that 100000 eyes
are destroyed in the United States
through accidents; that 100000 fires
are caused annually throughout
the country by lighting fires with
oil, carelessly throwing lighted
matches down before they are ex-
tinguished, entailing an annual
loss of $30O0O0000.
Mr.. Judd also stated that 225 liv-
es are lost in this country each
day through accidents, most of
which could be prevented by care
fitness. This is more than $4,000
year; $4,000 lose their lives through
accidents in the various industries.

There is no gainsaying the fact
that the dairy industry is one Of

important industries. 1t is one Of
the resources of this vast section
which every merchant and bust

We ought to show our apprecia-
