Grade to be Determined.
At the regular monthly meeting Of
the City Council held last night rep
resentatives Of the School Board
and residents OF the city appeared in
connection with the grade at the in
tersection. of Pine and Colorado

Gus for the children playing around

houses on the north side OF the

To Change Water Hours.
N. r. Greenfield appeared before
the Board and asked that the city be
divided into two water districts in
] order that there would be more pres
sure during watering hours. The
Council will probably make new
hours, allowing the use of water for
irrigating In one. district for one
hour in the morning and one hour
in the evening. The other district
will also be allowed one hour in the
morning and n in the evening, but
the time will be one hour later than
in the first district.
BY making this change a person
can use water either in the morning
or evening but residents of the two
districts will not be using water at
the same time.

A lease running from the Union
Pacific to the City Of Rawlins for the
ground at the western edge of the
city vas presented and accepted. This
location has been accepted officially
as the tourist camping ground sight
for Rawlins.
The city voted to start Immediate
ly running a water lttie to this site
and just as soon as possible a sewer
line will be run to the ground. Work
OF clearing the ground will be rush
ed and necessary buildings will be
constructed for the use of tourists.

A Tourist Camping Ground has
been needed In Rawlins for several
years past and early this spring an
effort was made to secure such a
place. However, considerable delay
was encountered because Of the fact
that a lease could not be secured

here Immediately with the result that
the lease vas rushed through in
record time.
