The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-09-05

The seniors Of the past term had
charge Of the Tumble N Pool Friday
and we learn with pleasure and a
great deal Of satisfaction that thru
the assistance Of the management,
and by exercising n great deal Of
business judgment they came out
with neat sum clear. The man
agement very literally gave the use
Of the pool free, their only expense
being 10 care for the laundering Of
the towels used. and such incidental
expenses Of operating the place.
The seniors had two nice signs
painted on long strips of canvas,
which were suspended upon frames
that were placed across the back Of
a donkey, which was lead about over
town by is small owners, attracting
much attention, and no doubt doing
great deal Of good advertising for
the pool. Circulars were also dis
tributed, and in many ways the SEN
Tors announced their operation Of the
place, mad we are sure there was no
one who had the pleasure of patr0niz
ing them but who realizes that they
received good service and one hun
dred percent return on the invest
mcnt.
The seniors are devising every
means for raking up little ready
cash, and we understand they viii

but the great force Of that orgnnixa-

their influence was soon felt.
one OF the boys who had taken an
active part In all the class work
told an Avalanche reporter Friday
that I'VE are going 10 serve the

That just about sums up the sit
uation The Rotarians started some
thing worth while when they start
ed entertaining the thought OF
sponsoring the various moves Of the
Senior Class, and the Seniors have
kept apace with them so well that
all concerned seem glad that they
were given the privilege 20 work
together
AZ any rate we know there are
some mighty fine folks in both the
Rotary Club and the Senior Class,
and feel their effotts IN helping

AS we have said many times before. and viii

the very closest cooperation between the mer-
chant and the farmers and the town and the
fellow that lives in the rural districts. and the
era organizations OF this city striving to elimi
nate the differences that have less existed
in the past not only in Lubbock but all the
country. in every state far we know. The Ro-
tary Club had what they called Farmer Day last
Wednesday. at which time every member OF the
club had his guest farmer and i real
pleasure for these Rotarians TO have their farmer
friends with them. and believe the feeling was
mutual The Chamber OF Commerce is also siriy

POWER co. SETTLES.
Pays Half of Chesterfield's Share of Cost
of Repairing Bridge Abutment, or
Fourth of Whole.

The town of Chesterfield, n. H.. has
just settled with the Connecticut River
Power Co. in the matter of Strengthening
the east abutment of the Brattleboro-
Chesterfield suspension bridge, which was
completed short time ago. The settle
ment was on $3.50 basis. The towns of
Brattleboro and Chesterfield share equally
the expense of repairing and maintaining
the suspension bridge, and in this in
stance the Power Co. pays one-half of
Chesterfelds share, or one-fourth of the
whole.
In addition the Power Co. pays the
fees of Chesterfeld's attorney Philip Ii.
Faulkner of Keene, and some additional
expenses, the Power Co.'S payment being
IA little over $4,000. The contract price
with the New Hampshire Cement Con-
struction CO. of Manchester was S12 4S0,
but there was about $500 additional cx-
pense for work done that was not in
cluded in the contract.
1t is the town of Chesterfeld's inten-
ton to ask the surrounding towns in New
Hampshire to help pay Chesterficld's
share of the expense not paid by the
Power Co.
No negotiations have been entered into
between the Power Co. and the town of
Brattleboro relative to this towns share
of the expense. ..f
