DWN BOARD ELECTS GUY
JUCHEM AS NEW MEMBER

The town Board met Monday
night to begin the new fiscal year,
which begins April 1st. All men,
beers, including the mayor were pres
ent except Madison, whose Once
was declared vancant, and Guy 4.
Juchem was elected unanimously by
the five members of the Eoard, be-
ing placed in nomination by n. G.
Murchison, seconded by L. u. kelso.
Mr.. Juchem was Immediately sent
for and was forthwith sworn IN by
the mayor, taking the seat formerly
occupied by Harry E. Madison, who,
by the way, has lived in Denver since
expressed the desire to be released
from the board. Mr.. Juchem, who
as most everyone knows, IL Coun.y
Treasurer. is therefore IN position
to keep the other members OF the
board posted OH tho amount Of mon
ise to be expected from his Office,
and he 10 quick at figures and no
doubt will be & valuable member OF
the board. He entered right into
the intricate problem Of making the
money meet the deficit that haa oc-
Cured within the last two or more
years, owing to numerous things that
have arisen, among them being tho
acceptance of the Mcllvoy park,
which at the time looked IKE a big
gift, but which in reality IL now be-
coming u great handicap and drain
upon the public funds with no APP
parent end in view. Tho councilmen
are up against proposition that ~
difficult to determine ~ between u
gift on an exchange. Those famiil,s,
with the circumstances realize that
the situation Is u delicate one and
that n way out must soon be deter
mined upon,
The board is trying hard to be pa
tient and even chivalrous under the
circumstances. but they find it hard
to maintain ar imperturbIble front.
Another thing that has cut the mp
preparations short il the refunding
Of the water bonds, which geemed To
be the only why out OF the dilemma,
In order to keep the mill levy down.
Also tho pumps Mt the city wells
have needed m unusual amount of
attcneion owing to. the sand which is
accommodating In the bottom Of the
wells.
X. o. Graves and the Oil Company
made application to the board for
place to put the dirt from their ex-
cavatiOns, which are being cOntcm-
plated to be begun In the very near
future.
Messrs, Talr and Blank, who re-
Gently purchased the Pierce property
Of two houses on West Third street,
weso IN attendance to decide ques-
ton involving the use of water by
two families Oft Of one meter. II
was made clear to them that both
families must pay the same rates M
II each had n separate meter. Mr..
Busby, who purchased the Brcnnc.
man and Martin Klumker property
on the same street, was there TO zee
about who should pay for the meters
in his houses, az there seemed to be
some misunderstanding IN to whelh-
err the meters were paid for by the
original owners ut the time tho me-
tiers were installed, the books fniling
to give any light on the subject.
The only hope Of clearing up this
matter SeNped to be by getting In
communicatlea with foIus Water
