SPECIAL MEETING

The city council held an adjourned
session last Monday evening, the pur-
pose of which was to consider a new
building ordinance which the city at
torney had been asked to prepare
For some time it has been generally
admitted that Glenwood is practically
without, or might as we'll be without
building ordinance, the old docu-
ment under which we have heretofore
proceeded being inadequate to our
needs and so loosely drawn as to per
nit those lacking in pride and patriot
ism to erect almost any kind Of a
shack in any portion Of the city, the
officials being obliged often to wit
ness the construction Of buildings that
were disgraceful and dangerous, and
yet without power to interfere.
Mayor Mcdonald has for some time
been very insistent upon the passage
of such an ordinance with sufficient
teeth to prevent n duplication of for
mer practices, and thus to safeguard
the rights of our citizens who have
rride in their surroundings and who,
after erecting safe and sanitary build
ings, object to having their property
jeopardized by the dangerous shacks
that have been thrown up near them
without any official approval or per-
nit, but the construction of which the
officials were powerless to prevent.
Attorney Beardsley at the meeting
Monday evening presented the draft
of an ordinance which he had drawn,
designed to remedy many of the
abuses which have existed in the past.
The measure was considered only in
superficial way, the aldermen feeling
that the subject was one of such vital
Importance that it could not be dis
posed of at one session. Further con-
sideration of the ordinance was there
fore postponed until the regular June
session of the beard.

and did not hold out any fairy induce
ments or make claims Of any fabulous
profits in the game, and while he told
of some enormous returns that had
come under his personal observation,
he made It plain that these were the
exception and not the rule by any
means.
Mr. Elser said he believed the terri
tory mentioned would prove almost
ideal for lettuce culture and yield the
growers q good net profit. He advised
them against setting their stakes too
high, and also made it plain that to
grow lettuce successfully meant work,
and that this crop would not grow
itself and yield a nice profit any more
than would potatoes, grain or any other
farm crop.
Acting on Mr.. Elsers advice, the
farmers who have signed contracts for
this year will plant small acreages and
give the crop careful attention, ~ It

is believed that this is the best way to
establish the industry and secure a
larger acreage for next year.
Arrangements have been made for
erecting loading shed at Farmers

rangements have also been made with

crop has been sold. While the acreage
secured under contract is less than Mr..

pany is willing to enter the field for
that amount ~ . starter, believing
that the business will grow, after the
possibilities Of this industry are once
demonstrated, and feeling certain that
