WATER REACHES
DANGER POINT
COLD WEATHER is ALL
THAT SAVED POWER DAM
Water Reached the Highest
Point in Eleven Years on
Monday. Lighting System
Effected.

Cold weather, which stopped the
melting of snow in the White River
valley, was all that saved the power
dam of the Mason Eight & Power
company from going out the first of
this week.
On Monday the water reached the
highest point in eleven years and a
crew of men were kept busy trying
to save the power dam, and had it
not been for the weather turning cold
err the dam would have gone out
Eleven years ago the dam was wash
ed out as the result of cloud burst.
Had the power dam gone out the
water would have taken with it the
bridge on the state trunk system as
we'll as the bridge in the town of
Kelly.
The danger is now believed to be
passed unless extreme warm weather
comes again.
The high water effected the power
plant of the Mason Lighting COM
pany and the lights have been I'M
usually poor during the past few
days. Because of the high water
all gates had to be left open and this
effected the power.

ANNUAL TOWN
MEETING HELD
FUNDS LEVIED FOR TOWN
PURPOSES
Officers Salaries Remain Where
They Have Been for Years.
Snow Problem Was DispOs-
ed of.

The annual town meeting of the
electors of the town of Mason was
held at the Mason town hall on cleo
ton day and much business was taken
up at this meeting.
The report read at the meeting
showed that the tax roll for the past
year amounted to $35,884.93 and the
amount returned delinquent to the
county amounted to $3561.12, which
is less than ten per cent of the en-
tire roll. This was dandy col
lection in spite of the pressing times
of the past years.
The Town Board referred several
matters to the meeting for action,
among which was the question Of
snow removal during the past win
ter. A number of the farmers had
donated teams and their services in
removing snow on their own initia-
tive, and when the bills were pre-
scented the Board refused to take ac-
ton and the question of paying the
claims came up before the annual
meeting and was voted down. In
order to pay all claims for this work
which might be presented would in
volve an enormous sum. The meet
ing did pass a resolution authoriz-
ing the Town Board in the future to
keep the mail routes open at town
expense.
The salaries of the town officers
were left the same for the coming
year. The salaries are now the
same as they were before tse war,
and as no raise was given during the
time of high wages the meeting de-
cided to leave them the same.
A resolution was passed pertain
ing to road work during the COM
ing season and the wages were set
at $500 for men and $500 for teams.
The sum of $4,000 was voted for
the General Fund which includes the
town poor, and the same amount
was levied for highway purposes.
There were about 100 per cent at
the meeting, while the number OF
votes cast in the election was 16O.
