attention of the council at its next
meeting.
Council last night passed a resolu-
tion fixing April 26 as the date to
hold the special election to vote on
the refunding bonds which we're
brought up at the last meeting.
These bonds cover money that is
owed by the city, and II is therefore
not optional with taxpayers whether
or not they shall carry. The defeat
of the bonds simply seems prolonglng
the matter and adding to the ex-
pense, as a special election must be
called in order to pass these bonds.
The question regarding the sewer
in Helman street came up for extern
slye discussion at council last night
While many residents In that section
of the city are clamoring for a sewer,
which Is very necessary, the expense
to those owning large tracts will be
greater than they feel they can stand.
1t was finally decided to allow prl-
vate septic tanks to be put in by
those wishing to do so, under city
supervision.
Recent purchases made by the
council cover a tract Of land pur-
chased from Mr.. Parish to be added
to Mountain View cemetery. and the
triangular plot on Water and North
Main streets belonging to G. S. But
ler The latter Is covered by the
large vault adjoining Mr.. B utler's
business block ON North Main street
and has been purchased by the city in
order to widen Water street to do
away with that dangerous corner.
Council also voted to donate $50 to
the fund being raised by patriotic or
ganizations Of Ashland to erect a me-
mortal in Ashland cemetery dedicat-
ed to The soldier dead Of the city.

springtime Fancies

No matter how lightly the young
mans fancy may turn to thoughts Of
love, the springtime fancy of the
average young woman is centered
heavily upon hats and gowns
What to wear and how to wear
them, that is the question; whether
1t is harder on the head to wear the
wings and doo-dads OF last years
fashion, or to take money saved
against a rainy future and, at the
millener's, buy new ones.
That Is what l call Shakespeare
up to date. Hamlet, today. would not
be melancholy. He wouldn't have
time. There are too many things to
think about that are quite as vital
and far more interesting than the
grave. Young Hamlet would forget
all about dying and sleeping when
ne looked into the shop windows. By
way of inspiration he would not Sc
